What is an Automatic Turn Conveyor?
This equipment is used in automated production lines to solve the PCB board connection problem of more than two processing or testing mechanisms in the SMT production line. It can also be used to solve connection problems in other product production lines, such as the electronic product production line and the automatic installation production line of precision hardware.
What are the Components?
The equipment is mainly composed of track transmission, track translation, track rotation, and electronic control parts.
Among them, the track conveying is used to transport the PCB board, the track translation is used to connect the corner machine with the front and rear left and right engineering mechanisms, and the track rotation is used to rotate the PCB to the corresponding angle to realize the production connection problem of more than two processing or testing mechanisms in the rear section of the equipment.
The control part is composed of a PLC (signal microprocessor) and a touch screen (human-machine interface), The PLC receives various instructions (human-machine interface) and detection signals after internal operation and calculation outputs relevant instructions to control the execution components; The touch screen is a window to realize the dialogue between man and machine, and the operator controls the relevant instructions or enters the relevant parameters through the touch screen window so that the machine can meet the specified action requirements to work, to realize self-automatic production.
How It Differs from Traditional Conveyor
S&M Automatic Turn Conveyor
Designed specifically for cornering of conveyor lines, usually for 90° or other angles of direction change.
It ensures smooth and continuous transmission of products at corners, avoiding product slippage or collision due to direction changes.
It is often equipped with a dedicated rotation device or special steering modules, such as corner chains, rollers, or belts.
Traditional Conveyor
Mainly used for straight-line conveying, suitable for simple conveying needs without direction changes.
The design is relatively basic and there is no dedicated function for cornering or direction changes.
How Does Automatic Turn Conveyor Work?
The substrate flows into the corner track, which rotates 90°, 180°, 270° or 360° according to preset parameters and sends the substrate to the next station, thereby changing the direction of the line. It is widely used in L-shaped or U-shaped production lines.
Key Features of an Automatic Turn Conveyor
Optimize Space Utilization:
The automatic turn conveyor can help the production line realize the corner layout in a limited space, avoiding the problem that the production line cannot be extended in a straight line due to site restrictions.
Flexible Design:
It supports multiple corner angles such as 90°, 180°, or 270° to meet the needs of different production lines.
Smooth Transmission:
The automatic turn conveyor adopts a special design to smoothly transfer products at the corner to avoid products slipping or tipping over due to direction changes.
High-speed Operation:
It has efficient transmission capabilities and will not slow down the overall production speed due to the corner process.
