Inverter Conveyor

Inverter Conveyor – Precise 180° turner for double-sided PCB processes

The Inverter Conveyor has been specially developed for the 180° flip of printed circuit boards in double-sided SMT production processes. It enables automated, safe turning of the boards, thus ensuring a consistent production flow between the two soldering or assembly sides.

Double-sided production in a single pass thanks to the inverter conveyor

The Inverter Conveyor precisely rotates printed circuit boards by 180° to prepare them for the second processing side. A pneumatic stopper holds the board securely in position during the rotation process. Switching between bypass and inverter mode is easy via the control panel—ideal for production lines with flexible process requirements.

Technical features of the inverter conveyor

  • Mitsubishi PLC control for precise process control
  • Selectable bypass or inverter mode
  • Pneumatic stopper for fixing the circuit board during rotation
  • Dual-function handle with stepper motor drive for reliable movement
  • Motorized width adjustment of the conveyor (optional)
  • LED signal tower for status display
  • Acoustic buzzer for operational warnings
  • Stepper motor with closed control loop for controlled rotation
  • Suitable for printed circuit boards with components on the underside
  • SMEMA-compatible for easy integration into SMT lines

Precision and safety during the reversal process

The Inverter Conveyor combines state-of-the-art control technology with mechanical precision. The closed control loop of the stepper motor ensures a smooth, low-vibration rotary motion. This reliably protects the circuit board during the flip—even with sensitive components.

Inverter Conveyor – Flexible and user-friendly

Thanks to the Mitsubishi PLC control system and optional motorized width adjustment, the conveyor can be quickly adapted to different board formats. The LED signal tower and buzzer inform the operator about the current operating status and increase safety during operation.

Use in modern SMT lines

The Inverter Conveyor is ideal for production lines that use double-sided processes. The automated 180° flip eliminates the need for manual turning, saving time and minimizing the risk of damage.
