Note: Assembly work hours calculator module is hidden by default, to view it you have to do the following; go to Tools -> Settings, change “Show assembly hours module” to true
Assembly hours panel is used to determine the estimated assembly time, test and packaging for standard FlexLink systems. Providing the greatest number of elements in a given project will allow for a more accurate system valuation.
Enter sequentially into the calculator, elements that are a part of the project. Described in the design table: screws, washers, rivets are included in the support, slide rail etc. assembly time.
As you fill in data the Assembly Totals at the bottom is continuously updated. You will need to transfer these total hours into your quotation elements manually, they will not be automatically added to the elements.
Conveyor assembly Tab
In this tab you should fill the following fields sequentially
- Choose the particular system.
- Enter the total length in meters.
