Small PCB Shuttle Conveyor: A Smarter Link Between Dual-Rail and Single-Rail SMT Lines
In an SMT production line, overall efficiency is often determined not only by the speed of the placement machine, but also by how reliably PCBs move between different rails and process stations. Many factories use dual-rail placement machines together with single-rail conveyor equipment. When the two rail configurations cannot be connected smoothly, production may suffer from waiting time, manual handling, board-edge damage, positioning errors, and unbalanced line takt. YongJi Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. in Dongguan developed the Small PCB Shuttle Conveyor to solve these practical line-integration challenges.
One Machine for Dual-Rail and Single-Rail Transfer
The machine is designed for dual-rail placement machines such as Panasonic NPM and Fuji NXT. According to the line layout, it can transfer dual-rail PCBs in parallel to a single-rail conveyor, or transfer single-rail PCBs in parallel to a…
