FlexLink Design Tool for Windows
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The FlexLink Design Tool introduces a completely new work method making it much easier to 
design a single conveyor or a complete line.
Easy drag and drop functionality where each individual component has its own intelligence 
eliminates the risk of design errors. This reduces the time to design the line. In 
addition, the design tool informs about accessories and recommended safety parts. 

A single click allows you to export to 3D PDF and share your layouts with anyone. 

Note that the tool requires a valid lease to be started. A lease can be requested through 
MyFlexLink using the following link:
