SMT Material Handling Conveyors

Essential for Modern Assembly Lines

The SMT conveyors from Fancort prioritize precision, reliability, and compatibility, making them essential for modern assembly lines. With adjustable speeds and width settings, they accommodate a wide range of PCB dimensions while maintaining alignment and consistency. Durable, high-quality components ensure long-lasting performance, while safety features protect both the operator and the PCBs. These systems excel in optimizing throughput and are engineered for easy integration with inspection, pick-and-place, or soldering equipment, supporting efficient, automated production processes.

ABOUT

SMT, or Surface Mount Technology, material handling refers to the processes and equipment used in the assembly and handling of electronic components on printed circuit boards (PCBs) during the surface mount assembly process. Surface mount technology is a widely used method for assembling electronic circuits, and it involves placing and soldering miniature electronic components directly onto the surface of a PCB.

Durability, Ease of Maintenance, Adaptability

Fancort's SMT material handling systems are designed to streamline PCB assembly processes, offering a robust and customizable solution for efficient board transportation. Featuring a modular design, they integrate seamlessly with most production lines and provide precise PCB handling to minimize damage. These systems emphasize durability, ease of maintenance, and adaptability for various PCB sizes and types. Equipped with user-friendly controls and automation capabilities, they enhance productivity and support smooth workflow transitions in SMT manufacturing environments.

Edge Conveyors

Our Edge Conveyors are used to transport PCB assemblies or other flat objects along their edges during production. They often have adjustable rails to accommodate various sizes of PCBs.

They are common in SMT (Surface Mount Technology) production lines, where they provide a steady flow of PCBs between processes like solder paste application, placement, or reflow.

Pin Chain Conveyors

Fancort Pin chain conveyors utilize a series of pins mounted on chains to guide or hold PCBs or workpieces by their edges.

These conveyors are ideal for processes that require the bottom side of a PCB to remain accessible, such as wave soldering or selective soldering, as the pins support the board without obstructing the underside.

Magazine Loaders

Magazine loaders are automated systems that feed PCBs into production lines directly from magazines or racks.

Our magazine loaders streamline the loading process, reducing manual handling of PCBs and ensuring continuous production flow. Commonly used in SMT lines to load PCBs from storage magazines into the next processing stage.

Cooling Conveyors

Cooling conveyors include fans, blowers, or cooling zones to actively or passively reduce the temperature of workpieces (e.g., PCBs or products) as they move along the conveyor.

These conveyors are crucial after processes like soldering or curing, where cooling is necessary to ensure product integrity and avoid thermal damage during subsequent handling.

Shuttle Conveyors

Shuttle conveyors feature a mechanism that allows them to move laterally or shuttle between multiple production lines or stations.

They transfer products between parallel conveyors or stations, optimize workflow in multi-line setups, and allow efficient use of space in production environments.
