alignprod.com Align Production Systems Company Profile
The Airfloat workhorse air skid system by Align Production Systems has been re-engineered, making it easier to operate and service.
The device’s controller can now be carried by the operator during equipment moves or placed on the ground in an upright or horizontal position. The controller has individual flow controls and quick disconnects for each skid, in addition to an air pressure indicator. An optional dead man safety pendant mounts to the controller handle, allowing the operator to energize/de-energize the air skid system with the touch of a button. When the controller is placed on the floor, the safety pendant may be detached, enabling the operator to roam up to 15 feet from the controller while remaining in control of the system.
For easier maintenance and inspections, the air skate now incorporates an air inlet block, allowing both the air bearing and bearing tray to be removed in seconds without detaching any external hoses or clamps. The system comes in seven sizes, with air bearing diameters ranging from 12 to 48 inches and individual skid capacities from 3,000 to 52,500 pounds.
