PCB loader for SMT line

PCB loader for SMT line – precision in PCB loading


The PCB Loader for SMT lines is specially designed for automated loading of printed circuit boards into the SMT manufacturing process. It ensures a smooth, continuous flow of material and guarantees gentle transfer of each PCB to the next machine. Unique separation cams lift individual PCBs from the stack and place them securely on the ESD belts—perfect for sensitive electronics.

Intelligent control with Mitsubishi PLC

Dank der integrierten Mitsubishi PLC-Programmsteuerung läuft der Prozess stabil und zuverlässig. Der Bediener kann zwischen Bypass- und Entstaplermodus wählen. Dadurch bleibt der PCB Loader für SMT-Linie flexibel und anpassbar. Eine intuitive Touchscreen-Bedienung ermöglicht eine einfache Steuerung aller Parameter und eine schnelle Anpassung an Produktionsänderungen.

High efficiency and short cycle times

The machine offers one of the shortest loading cycles in the industry – between 3 and 7 seconds per PCB. Even thin circuit boards with a thickness of 0.6 mm are processed with precision. Continuous loading keeps the SMT line productive without interruption. An advance signal alarm provides early warning when the PCB sub-stack height is nearing its end.

Ergonomics and safety

The PCB Loader impresses with its user-friendly operation. Width adjustment is smooth and parallel via a crank wheel, with a motorized option also available. All doors are locked to ensure maximum operational safety. Naturally, the system is CE-certified and fully SMEMA-compatible, enabling easy integration into existing production lines.
