2 reform the adaptive material handling system to continuously improve your manufacturing process t s how you put it together that sets us apart. reform is the original adaptive material handling system for companies looking to support continuous improvement and lean manufacturing programs. Our broad line of plastic coated steel pipes, fittings and accessories is designed to let you custom build workstations, flow racks, carts, AVs and other material handling structures that can easily be changed again and again to match your manufacturing needs. You ll find over 700 pipes, joints and components in the reform catalog that will allow you to build just about any structure imaginable. Our plastic coated steel pipes come in a wide variety of colors, sizes and shapes including mm diameter pipe where additional strength is required. Metal joints provide flexibility while plastic joints offer economy for permanent structures. And a wide selection of reform accessories gives you the ability to customize your structure to meet your needs. t s also how we work together that sets us apart. reform is a resource beyond the sale of pipes, joints and components helping you develop solutions to material handling problems and increasing worker productivity. Using the reform System, reform sales engineers work with your team members to help support continuous improvement and 5-S programs eliminating non-value added waste. We have thousands of structure drawings in our data base that can help quick-start your project. We don t just sell you a product, we re there to assist in helping make your operation lean and improve your plant s environment. 008 reform orporation REORM is a registered trademark of Yazaki ndustrial hemical o., td.

ST Uni-directional Tugger The reform ST AV system allows users to move multiple carts of similar designs, or a variety of carts provided the undercarriages feature the ST interface. Heavy-Duty Height-Adjust Workstation This heavy-duty workstation with 1000 lb. load capacity uses reform high strength ømm pipe and complementary joints and accessories. U or -shaped Workstations U or -shaped s allow operators to easily move from station to station with minimal steps. Display oard rame reform systems don t have to involve high technology logistics for material handling. Even a simple movable display board contributes to plant efficiency. ESD low Rack Mobile flow racks for standard or antistatic (ESD) applications allow operators to make their assembly areas more ergonomically friendly and flexible, while minimizing floor space. Dunnage art A reform sequencing cart is easy to build to match dunnage requirements and protect parts or sub assemblies when sequencing to the line. itting art A kitting cart aids in accurately filling logistic orders and can easily be modified for a variety of assembly operations. Push art reform push carts are lightweight yet strong, offer exceptional maneuverability, and can be built to exact size requirements then easily modified when needs change.

All three structures can be built using the reform Starter it of materials. Step-by-step instructions, and a bill of materials needed to complete the project are included.

4 Simple to design, build and modify. etting Started The pages that follow are designed to provide you with guidelines for building three useful structures, while familiarizing you with the reform System. All three structures can be built using the reform Starter it of materials. Step-by-step instructions, and a bill of materials needed to complete the project are included. Each of these structures can be built as shown, or they can be modified to meet your specific requirements. However, should you modify any of these designs we recommend that you follow the technical specifications found in Section H of the reform catalog to ensure the structural integrity of your finished product. that you will identify many applications and solutions to meet your material handling challenges. With a small amount of inventoried material you will be able to respond quickly with creative solutions that will help move your company further down the path of continuous improvement. Once you become familiar with the reform System, we re confident reform engineers are available to assist you at any time. reform Starter it The Starter it is a simple and economical method to acquaint new users with the reform Material Handling System. t contains a variety of components in sufficient quantities to assemble introductory structures such as carts, racks, conveyors and workstations. The Starter it can be individualized with components specific to a particular application and budget. Starter it contents may include (but are not limited to) a range of pipe styles including round and with flat slide surfaces, metal joints, conveyor rollers and components, casters, and tools such as a pipe cutter, deburring tool and wrenches. reform recommends the initial use of metal joints which provide reusability and flexibility. However, plastic joints may be specified. reform Tools Only a few basic tools are required to create reform structures. Most people are comfortable with the familiar grouping of tools at far left and these are sufficient to assemble most structures. Experienced users and those assembling on a large scale may want to make use of additional tools and powered equipment. The shadowboard tool cart shown at left helps support your ive S program with dedicated storage locations. Shown with reform tools, such a cart can be customized for your tools, parts, and supplies.
