How do you handle PCBs in SMT Production Line?

SMT Production line is also called Surface mount Technology ( SMT for short) is a new electronic assembly technology. It is characterized by surface mounting and reflow soldering technology.

A full SMT line equipment includes PCB Loader & Unloader,  PCB Conveyor, Solder Paster Printer, SMT Pick & Place Machine, Reflow Oven, AOI / X-ray / SPI Inspection machine etc. 

Among them,  the PCB handling system is the key part of a smooth running of SMT production line. From the loader and destacker to other PCB conveyors like the PCB buffer, pass and fail sorters, flip and unloader. 

Using PCB handling machine instead of people to move PCBs during assembly not only increases production but also significantly reduces costs. Any PCB assembler regardless of size, can realize benefits while maximizing the automation capabilities of its inline equipment. 

These machines are favourably priced and are easily adapted for multiple inspection functions such as solder paste, component placement, or post-reflow.

With mass production, using a handling machine with automatic adjustment of the track width in one step will make your operation more convenient.

High-end PCB handling machine with PLC control, you can set the track width required by PCB board of different sizes on the computer in advance. When PCB board is fed, the track width of handling equipment on the whole production line can be adjusted with one key, which greatly shortens the production cycle.

I.C.T offers PCB handling systems such as conveyors, buffer, loader, unloader, destacker, traffic controller, etc.
