Engineered
to Your Specifications
Henshaw systems are designed to be
efficient in function, durable in operation, and uncomplicated in
design. Our in-house CAD team designs and develops each custom
automation solution with all the key considerations: weight of the
load, cycle time available, quantity of product to be stored, space
available, and presentation of the product to a robot, human
operator, or a lift assist device.
We provide a variety of products that
range from simple gravity driven parts conveyors to automated rack
indexers, handling loads in excess of 3,000 pounds. We offer carts
that interface with automation or stand alone as an alternative
where fork truck traffic is not permitted. When a storage and
retrieval system is needed, we have the experience and manpower to
design and build it from concept to installation.

Henshaw
“Multi Link™” Chain Conveyors
 Move
Loads That Rollers Can’t Move
Henshaw uses a proprietary
“Multi LinkTM” Chain conveyor system to move racks, bins, and parts.
This provides a traveling surface that moves with the product
ensuring consistent travel that roller conveyors cannot offer. It
also offers a faster cycle time than systems that use reciprocating
carts since there is no time lost waiting for the cart to return.
With 12 hardened alloy steel link plates in each pitch, our chain
provides a generous load contact surface and will not wear grooves
on the bottom of a rack. It slides on a hardened channel that is
engineered to work with the chain to guarantee an exceptionally long
life. “Multi LinkTM” chain provides a pull capacity that exceeds any
chain of its size and its short pitch enables us to keep the overall
height of the conveyor to a minimum.
Roller Trac™
High Load Capacity at a Low Cost
 Henshaw’s
patented Roller TracTM heavy-duty low profile roller wheel conveyor
offers a superior free flow conveyance system. Its densely packed
ball bearing rollers and heavy gage steel channel offers a 1,000
lbs. per inch load capacity – a capacity unique to the industry.
These compact rails can be incorporated into a wide variety of
applications to carry heavy parts, bins, racks, molds and dies. They
are typically sold in four-foot lengths but may be ordered to suit
your
needs.
Built and Tested In-House
Henshaw’s spacious state-of-the-art
facility allows us to fully assemble and test our systems on our own
floor. This gives our customers the opportunity to see their
equipment fully functional before we ship. Our in-house build
capabilities include fabrication, machining, painting, piping, and
wiring. All Henshaw equipment is proven and demonstrated for
the customer before delivery,
allowing plant personnel to become familiar with their operation.
Installed and
Maintained to Your Requirements
Henshaw provides options for the
installation of its equipment. Our expert team can implement the
complete on-site installation – or we can be on-hand to supervise
and support installation by your own team. To complete our total
turnkey solution, Henshaw offers training programs to help you
realize your return on investment as quickly as possible. On-site
support services and a large parts inventory are available to keep
your system up and operating.

“Lift and
Carry” Accumulation
Henshaw rack indexers utilize an
exclusive “lift and carry” approach that combines simple
pneumatic lifters with our powered chain conveyors. Stationary
racks are raised above the conveyor while another rack is
traveling. This allows us to move one rack at a time on a
conveyor while maintaining high throughput. One motor will power
several stations to offer efficient power use and fewer
mechanical components to service.
Automated
Cart Systems
Our carts can be pulled by a tow vehicle or pushed by hand.
Part Handling
Systems
Tailored to fit your part and production needs.
Automatic
Storage and
Retrieval Systems
From small parts to stacks of sheet metal stock weighing over
8,000 pounds.
