Articulating Roller Support (ARS) Long Travel System

A Long Travel Solution for Plastic Carriers that Eliminates Guide Troughs

Dynatect’s patented ARS Long Travel Support System is the evolution of 50 years of experience. Its unique, patented design adds articulating rollers that are positioned to support a standard plastic carrier with travel up to 300 feet without a guide trough. Dynatect’s long travel cable carriers are ideal for many applications including robot transfer units, large machining centers, gantry robots, plasma and flame cutters, CNC drilling, automated welding, CNC burn tables, transfer systems, and gantry cranes.
