Flex-Line Automation, Inc.

Flex-Line Automation, Inc. is an independent conveyor system builder, parts supplier, and robotics integrator based in Chester, Illinois. We are a third-generation, family-owned, certified Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) that has helped U.S. manufacturers move product since 1984.

Independent by design: we are a builder and integrator, not a manufacturer’s branch office. That means we specify what fits your line, not what fills a catalog.

What We Do

Conveyor Parts & Components

We stock modular plastic chain, sprockets, guide rails, bearings, drive units, and wear parts across major conveyor platforms. Fast quotes, same-day shipping on stocked parts from central Illinois, and application help from the people who build the systems those parts go into.

Customized Conveyor Systems

Modular plastic chain tabletop conveyors, aluminum and stainless steel structures, belt and roller conveyors. We design, build, install, and service complete systems for accumulation, buffering, elevating, merging, transfer, and line balancing.

Robotics & End-of-Line Automation

Robotic and cobotic carton erecting, case packing, palletizing, machine tending, and other end-of-line solutions — integrated with the conveyance that feeds them.

Why Manufacturers Call Us

Multi-platform expertise. An authorized FlexLink System Builder since 1987, and a partner across additional conveyor and robot lines including Universal Robots, KUKA, Comau, mk North America, Titan Industries, Dorner, Bosch Rexroth, Carryline, and Shibuya Hoppmann — so our recommendation fits the application.

Inventory and location. Chester, IL sits near major interstates on the Mississippi. Basic conveyors can ship in as little as a day.

Products of our own. When a recurring customer need calls for it, we develop and patent products of our own — the boxEZ among them — and make them available across our customer base.
