Telescope Gate Conveyor – Flexible passage conveyor for SMT lines
The Telescope Gate Conveyor was developed to create a safe and convenient passage area in production lines. It allows the work area to be crossed without interrupting the production flow. When printed circuit boards are transported, an integrated conveyor segment slides over the opening and automatically transfers the board to the next machine.
Optimal combination of safety and efficiency
Flexibility is crucial in modern SMT production lines. The Telescope Gate Conveyor offers a “normally open” passage that only closes when a printed circuit board is being transported. This keeps the workplace ergonomically accessible and ensures operator safety—without slowing down the production process.
Technical features of the Telescope Gate Conveyor
- Mitsubishi PLC control for precise process control
- Maximum 600 mm clearance for comfortable entry
- Fully enclosed design for increased safety
- Normally open – passage free when no transport is taking place
- Motorized width adjustment of the conveyor (optional)
- Electric drive for smooth extension and retraction of the telescope segment
- Suitable for printed circuit boards with components on the underside
- Parallel width adjustment via spindle mechanism
- SMEMA-compatible for easy integration into existing lines
Robust and reliable design
The Telescope Gate Conveyor is designed for durability and precision. The fully enclosed design protects mechanical components and ensures safe operation during continuous use. The smooth spindle adjustment allows for precise adjustments and prevents uneven movements—ideal for sensitive circuit boards and dense manufacturing environments.
Ergonomic and space-saving
The conveyor combines ergonomic design with maximum functionality. Employees can pass through the area comfortably while the production line remains active. This is particularly useful in compact manufacturing layouts where efficiency and freedom of movement are equally important.
