Shuttle conveyor for printed circuit boards – Flexible traverser for production lines
The shuttle conveyor for printed circuit boards—also known as a traverser—is used to precisely control the flow of printed circuit boards between multiple production lines. It enables the distribution or merging of printed circuit boards between two or more channels, thus ensuring maximum flexibility in modern electronics manufacturing.
Flexible control of production flows
The shuttle conveyor for printed circuit boards allows printed circuit boards to be efficiently merged from two lines onto one line or distributed from one line onto two lines. This helps to avoid bottlenecks and optimally balance production processes. The system automatically transports the printed circuit boards to the next production step, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the plant.

Efficiency and precision in manufacturing
The shuttle conveyor for printed circuit boards is the ideal solution for flexibly connecting production lines. The adjustable shuttle path and programmable speed allow material flows to be controlled precisely. This results in less downtime, higher productivity, and more consistent utilization of production capacity.
Robust construction for long-term use
The solid floor construction and precise stepper motor drive ensure stable and reliable operation. The shuttle conveyor is designed for continuous use in SMT, assembly, or soldering lines and meets the highest standards of precision and reliability.
