L type, 90 degree PCB Turn Conveyor – Traffic Controllers

The Printed Circuit Board Turn Conveyor Traffic Controller is designed for scenarios where at least one downstream machine is positioned at a right angle to the upstream printed circuit board flow direction. Upon accepting the product from upstream, the integrated conveyor system rotates the product 90º clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) before transferring it to the next stage.

Key features of the system include:

• Custom-made machine configurations to meet specific production needs
• Electrically-driven lateral transfer system for smooth and efficient PCB handling

Ideal for PCB production lines, this conveyor traffic controller ensures seamless transitions between machines, improving efficiency and workflow while accommodating different machine orientations.

I type, 180 degree PCB Turn Conveyor – Traffic Controllers

The Printed Circuit Board 180º Turn Conveyor Traffic Controller is designed to rotate products 180º when the upstream machine's fixed conveyor rail is opposite to the downstream machine's fixed conveyor rail. This system is ideal for handling different Printed Circuit Board widths, ensuring smooth and efficient transfers.

Key features include:

• Electrically-driven lateral transfer system for reliable and precise PCB handling

Perfect for printed circuit board production lines, the PCB 180º Turn Conveyor enhances flexibility, making it easy to accommodate varying printed circuit board sizes while optimizing workflow and production efficiency.

T type, PCB Turn Conveyor – Traffic Controllers

The T-Type Printed Circuit Board Turn Conveyor Traffic Controller is designed to rotate PCBs when at least one downstream machine is positioned at a right angle to the upstream PCB flow direction. Upon receiving the PCB from upstream, the built-in conveyor system can rotate the product 90º in both clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) directions to align with the downstream fixed conveyor rail before transferring it further along the production line.

Key features include:

• Custom-made machine configuration tailored to meet specific production needs
• Electrically-driven lateral transfer system for smooth and efficient PCB handling

Perfect for printed circuit board production lines, the T-Type printed circuit board Turn Conveyor traffic controller enhances workflow flexibility, ensuring seamless transitions between machines and optimizing overall production efficiency.

X type, PCB Turn Conveyor – Traffic Controllers

The X-Type Printed Circuit Board Turn Conveyor Traffic Controller is designed to handle in-line traffic at crossings in PCB production lines. Upon receiving the product from upstream, the built-in conveyor can rotate the product 90º clockwise (CW), 90º counterclockwise (CCW), or 180º to align with the downstream fixed conveyor rail before transferring the printed circuit board to the next stage.

Key features include:

• Custom-made machine configuration to meet specific production needs
• Electrically-driven lateral transfer system for smooth and reliable PCB handling

Ideal for PCB production lines, the X-Type printed circuit board Turn Conveyor traffic controller ensures seamless transitions between conveyors and optimizes flexibility and efficiency in the production process.

PCB Rotator Conveyor – Traffic Controllers

The Printed Circuit Board Rotator Conveyor Traffic Controller is designed to change the orientation of circuit board’s, swapping length and width or vice versa. The process begins when the Circuit Board is stopped by a pneumatic stopper, allowing the motor-driven rotor assembly to gently lift the product from the edge belt. While lifting and rotating the product, the movable conveyor rail automatically adjusts to its new position before the product is lowered and gently placed back onto the edge belt.

Key features include:

• 4 selectable modes for flexible operation:
• Turn mode: 90° clockwise
• Turn mode: 90° counterclockwise
• 180° rotation mode
• Bypass mode

This Printed Circuit Board Rotator Conveyor traffic controller is ideal for production lines, ensuring smooth handling of printed circuit boards while providing precise orientation changes to improve efficiency.
