Assembly Technology Bosch Rexroth

The Bosch Rexroth VarioFlow+ is a flexible chain conveyor system engineered for continuous and indexing material transport in assembly and manufacturing environments. With chain widths from 63 mm to 160 mm, conveyor speeds up to 0.5 m/s, and load capacities reaching 50 kg per workpiece carrier, the system covers light to medium-duty intralogistics demands. The modular aluminum, stainless steel, and ESD-compliant variants meet IEC 61340-5-1 for electrostatic protection and comply with DIN EN ISO 10218 safety requirements for integrated automation lines.

As an authorized Bosch Rexroth distributor, esd.equipment stocks 477 VarioFlow+ components - from drive units, guide rails, and side guides to workpiece carrier systems, clamp conveyors, and dedicated tools. All system families (Standard Aluminum, Stainless Steel STS, and ESD) share a common grid dimension of 50 mm, enabling rapid reconfiguration without additional machining or custom brackets.
