Review the Smallest Turn Under the Case
Check support beneath the product base at the tightest part of the route.
Compact Turns Along a Narrow Running Lane
The shaped links rotate relative to one another as 1701 follows a curve. This allows the chain route to change direction within the stated curve geometry.
The product may be much wider than the chain. Its base must bridge the chosen support lanes, and those lanes must remain beneath suitable contact areas through the turn. Base ribs and feet deserve particular attention.

Match the Joint and Track
Compare the installed chain's underside with the drawing. Confirm the drive engagement and support section using a dimensioned sample.
Review the radius reference on the plan and check the return bend separately. For parallel lanes, follow the product-base contact points through the curve rather than checking straight-run spacing alone.
Routing Cases Between Close Stations
A narrow multiflex lane can connect case-handling stations with a change in direction. The conveyor frame and guides establish the route while the articulated chain carries the base.
At the discharge, the case needs to move onto the next support without a foot entering a gap. Compare the receiving-lane spacing with the case-base structure as well as the overall conveyor width.
