System overviewEngineered around your production requirement
ES-PRO designs and manufactures Flybar Handling Systems for automated electroplating, anodizing, and surface treatment lines. The system provides secure support, accurate positioning, and efficient transfer of flybars carrying workpieces throughout the production process.
Each system is customized according to flybar dimensions, loading capacity, tank configuration, and production requirements. Designed to integrate with automatic gantry hoists, conveyors, and PLC control systems, it enables smooth material transfer, reliable pickup and placement, and consistent positioning during processing.
With durable construction, corrosion-resistant materials, and safety-focused design, the system minimizes manual handling, reduces transfer errors, and improves overall production efficiency. It can be configured to accommodate different rack types, product sizes, and future production expansion.
