Model: NG buffer (SSB-200/SSB-200D); Manufacturer: SJ Innotech Co. Ltd, Korea
This board handling equipment (NG buffer) is locatedafter the SPI/AOI machines to store NG PCBs in the rack/magazine while transferring good PCBs to the next machine in the FIFO or LIFO method. The advantage of the NG buffer is that it saves the cost of manufacturing by eliminating NG boards before final testing and rework can be done to make the PCB defect-free.

Key features:
• PCB is transferred by a geared belt drive method
• Safety cover-CE
• Functions such as loading, unloading, buffer and pass
• Two-stage conveyor
• Cooling fan
• Up/down soft start/stop (inverter)
• Possible to change loading volume (maximum15 pcs)
• RS232C communication with SPI/AOI
• PCB transfer in FIFO/LIFO method available
• Dual lane buffer as an option

SMT inspection conveyors can link the SMT PCB magazine loader/unloader for SMT assembly. This PCB conveyor is mainly used for equipment linking, visual inspection,  manual assembly, and PCB buffering functions. Its advantage is its short length, which  allows it to be placed where there is a space limitation.

Key features:

  • High quality ESD conveyor belt for long lifetime, and easy replacement
  • Linking conveyor length from 0.5m to 1.5m available, depending on the application
  • Steel frame, static painted surface for smooth and stable operation
  • Linking conveyor speed is adjustable and can be  customised to a double section for the multi-type SMT production line
  • ESD flat belt and special conveyor track make it easy to transfer PCBs from SMT pick-and-place system to reflow oven
  • Inspection and linking mode is selectable
  • SMEMA interface can connect with other machines to operate automatically online

Model: Getech bottom router (GBR); Manufacturer: Getech
The GBR is an in-line bottom router machine specially designed to route (depanelise) printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA) into individual assemblies. The PCB is received in the incoming conveyor and is positioned and clamped. The gripper finger station securely handles the PCB. The bottom spindle router precisely routes the PCB. After routing, the PCB is accurately placed in the outgoing conveyor while the frame is dropped onto the waste conveyor.A new graphical user interface with Getech’s ‘move, teach and cut’ advanced control software enables user friendly ‘visual’, rapid and accurate online programming.

Key features:
• Large range of panel sizes up to 500mm x 400mm
• Powerful servo motor powered axis
• Auto conveyor width adjustment
• Auto gripper finger change (option)
• Automatic program changeover (option)
• Good/bad board segregation (option)
• Flat belt or bridge axis outgoing conveyor
