Linear conveyors should not be confused with linear indexers. With a linear conveyor a large number of fixtures ride in a continuous loop, like the pads on a tank track. Their rail-guided fixtures are typically shot pinned on print locations. Most linear indexers used in pad printing are chain driven.

Linear conveyors are not typically considered ideal for shops doing large numbers of custom jobs. They are meant to be dedicated to a particular product, or family of products. The linear construction makes them ideal for integrating feeder bowls, pick and place mechanisms as well as other operations, such as ultrasonic welding, leak testing or inspection. TOSH has made this easier by through the introduction of the industries only Inclined Linear Conveyors, the 30 degree Series.
