| Bare Vacuum Type PCB Loader

The Bare Vacuum Type PCB Loader is engineered for use in automated SMT production lines, offering precise and efficient PCB loading. It features adjustable suction power, ensuring safe handling for a variety of PCB types, while its high-speed operation reduces downtime and boosts production efficiency. This loader integrates smoothly with other equipment through its SMEMA interface, making it an excellent choice for automated production lines. Its customizable design makes it adaptable to diverse production environments, ensuring a perfect fit for your manufacturing setup.
| Advanced Vacuum and Clamping Technology
The Bare Vacuum Type PCB Loader ensures that PCBs are transported securely through the production line without risk of damage. Using high-precision vacuum control technology, it guarantees smooth and stable handling, which is crucial for maintaining consistent product quality throughout the production process.
Designed for versatility, the PCB loader automatically adjusts its suction strength according to the size and thickness of each PCB. This dynamic suction adjustment ensures the loader can handle a wide range of board types with ease, allowing it to meet the demands of both high-volume and high-mix production environments.
The loader’s high-speed capabilities allow for quick transfer times, reducing the overall production cycle. This contributes to higher line efficiency and minimized downtime, ensuring the production process runs smoothly and at maximum capacity throughout the day.
The Bare Vacuum Type PCB Loader is equipped with SMEMA communication interfaces, enabling seamless integration with other SMT equipment like pick-and-place machines, reflow ovens, and AOI systems. This integration ensures that the entire production line works in harmony, enhancing efficiency and reducing the need for manual intervention.
The transport height of the loader can be customized to fit different production environments, making it a versatile choice for factories with limited space or specific configuration needs. This adjustability ensures that the loader integrates smoothly into your existing SMT line, regardless of the floor layout.

| Successful Customer Project in Saudi Arabia
In September 2025, I.C.T engineers traveled to Saudi Arabia to assist a customer with their installation and training.
The client, a home LED lighting manufacturer, required a fully automated SMT production line. We provided a solution featuring 13 machines, with a total length of approximately 29 meters. However, the available space was only 21 meters long and 5 meters wide. After consultation, we designed the production line into a U-shape, 16 meters long and 2.7 meters wide. Following 2 days of installation and 6 days of training and technical support, the system was successfully handed over to the client.
