Slideways is a manufacturer of standard and custom designed machined plastic components, bearings, simple and complex plastic parts, SLIDE-TRAX and more for packaging equipment, bottling and canning and power transmission applications. It also manufactures high quality engineered plastic extrusions and wear components many of which are used in conveyor systems, packaging machines, citrus, pharmaceutical and produce processing equipments. They have been around since 1994 in the manufacturing of these products. 

The components and parts are customized to each project no matter if they are peculiar or complex designs. They can provide general purpose plastics or advanced engineered plastics, whichever is required to meet the specifications. They possess state-of-the-art machinery which can quickly fabricate the equipments from your specification. They are one of the best players in the industry who have invested in major machinery like a CNC Router, profile machines, CNC lathes capable of turning parts up to 16 inches in diameter and vertical machining centers. 

Some of the product categories which they involve are chain/belt guides, high temperature applications, pulleys and sheaves, block bearings and there are several other categories too.

Perhaps the most impressive category that I saw was the Custom Trax. The templates for creating your custom trax can be manufactured for any chain or modular belt for multiple strands of chain at any degree of turn and with any center line radius. These are typically machined from UHMW and the optional materials include MD-Nylon and Acetal. The sales personnel are familiar with all types of conveyor chains and modular belts so that the designing and ordering the SlideTrax curves and straights can be a smooth process. After the design stage is complete, the CNC router can precisely machine the SlideTrax curves and corners tracks very efficiently.

They have an online presence at www.slideways.com and they can also be called at their toll free number 1-800-298-7543.
