Automatic magazine unloader for printed circuit boards – efficient and space-saving
The automatic magazine unloader for printed circuit boards is designed for fast and precise unloading of printed circuit boards from an SMT line. Thanks to its innovative L-shaped design, this system saves valuable space in the production line. The magazine conveyor has been developed so that the magazine knockers can be positioned either at the front or rear—ideal for flexible production environments.
This solution makes handling printed circuit boards much more efficient, as the unloading process is fully automated. This saves time, reduces sources of error, and increases productivity in electronics manufacturing.
Key features of the automatic magazine loader
The automatic magazine unloader for printed circuit boards is equipped with a Mitsubishi PLC control system, which ensures precise sequences and high process reliability. The user-friendly touchscreen control panel allows for simple and intuitive control.
The system uses a flexible platform that can accommodate standard magazines. These magazines can be easily replaced from the rear if necessary. A stepper motor-driven slider ensures stability and precise movements during the unloading process.
Additional features:
-
Selectable pitch settings for acoustic signaling
