Swivellink's innovative approach to automation solutions stems from a practical problem-solving mindset. Their journey began not with a grand vision of market domination, but with a simple, internal need: a reliable and flexible method for mounting operator start buttons on their own custom-built industrial machinery. The resulting Swivellink mounting system wasn't just a product; it was a solution born from necessity and refined through rigorous testing in their own production environment. This foundation of practical experience underpins all of Swivellink's offerings, emphasizing robustness, ease of use, and a commitment to long-term reliability. The system's success quickly transcended its initial purpose, leading to the expansion of the product line to encompass a diverse range of automation needs.
The core strength of Swivellink lies in its modular mounting system. This system utilizes a series of interconnected components—bases, knuckles, links, and mounting plates—that are easily combined and configured to create custom mounting solutions tailored to individual applications. This modularity allows for exceptional flexibility, accommodating a wide array of equipment sizes, weights, and orientations. Users are no longer limited by fixed mounting solutions; they can now craft a precisely tailored mount to perfectly fit their specific needs. This flexibility extends beyond the mechanical aspects; Swivellink offers both Imperial and Metric versions of its components, ensuring global compatibility. The diverse range of sizes available—XS, Standard, and Heavy Duty—further reinforces this adaptability, catering to lightweight components, medium-weight equipment, and heavy-duty industrial machinery.
The company's commitment to comprehensive solutions doesn't stop at modular mounting. Swivellink recognizes that effective automation goes far beyond the simple attachment of components. Their product portfolio now includes complete and ready-to-use conveyor systems, perfect for a range of light-to-medium duty applications, offering flexible options for users to build their own systems or purchase complete, ready-to-use units. The company’s Stronguard® modular guarding system provides reliable safety solutions, ensuring a safe working environment for personnel and equipment. This modular system simplifies installation, allowing for quick adaptation to evolving facility layouts. The system’s robust construction and durable materials offer long-term protection, safeguarding against damage and providing a return on investment far beyond the initial purchase.
Further enhancing the overall automation capabilities, Swivellink provides a range of robot accessories. These include specifically designed pedestals and end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) kits, crafted to seamlessly integrate with collaborative robots. The EOAT kits offer versatile vacuum solutions, making it easier to design and implement custom grippers. This capability simplifies the addition of robotic material handling processes, eliminating the need for complex and time-consuming custom designs.
Swivellink's dedication to user-friendliness extends beyond the product design. Their comprehensive documentation provides clear and concise technical information, including detailed diagrams, specifications, and installation guides. The inclusion of demo kits enables users to gain hands-on experience with the components, facilitating a quicker understanding and smoother integration into existing workflows. Their online Brand Match tool further simplifies the process, providing a quick and easy way to identify the correct mounting plate for specific equipment brands and models.
In summary, Swivellink offers far more than just mounting solutions; they provide a complete ecosystem of intelligent automation components. Their modular and flexible approach, coupled with a strong focus on quality, reliability, and ease of use, makes them a valuable partner for organizations seeking to optimize their industrial processes. By solving problems, not just selling products, Swivellink continues to make significant contributions to enhanced productivity and efficient automation.
