Product Description

Vertical PCB Buffer Machine With Intelligent Intermediate Storage

The HS-HC250 and HS-HC350 are vertical PCB buffers built around intelligent intermediate storage: inspected boards are held in a controlled rack, released on demand, and the line keeps balancing itself between AOI, SPI and downstream stations. Instead of losing output every time an inspection station pauses, the buffer absorbs the difference and feeds boards back at line speed.

Why Intelligent Intermediate Storage Matters

  • No line stoppage on inspection — boards queue inside the buffer instead of piling up on the conveyor.
  • Automatic balance of cycle time — the unit stores boards when the upstream station runs faster and releases them when it slows down.
  • Controlled board handling — smooth indexing and selectable pitch protect boards from 0.6 mm upwards.
  • Operator visibility — running mode, stored quantity and alarms are readable from the touch screen panel.
  • Simple integration — standard SMEMA handshake connects to AOI, SPI, reflow and pick-and-place equipment in minutes.

How the Storage Cycle Works

  1. The upstream machine sends the SMEMA board available signal.
  2. The conveyor indexes the PCB into the next free rack slot at the selected pitch.
  3. The board is parked in the lifting PCB rack without contact damage and counted as stored stock.
  4. When the downstream station is ready, the platform lifts and returns the board in FIFO or LIFO sequence, or passes it straight through in by-pass mode.

Application Scenarios

  • Between SPI/AOI and reflow — holds inspected boards while the oven or mounter finishes the previous batch.
  • High-mix low-volume runs — quick pitch and width changeover when board size changes each shift.
  • Manual re-inspection and repair — boards are stored in the rack instead of being stacked on tables, and come back at line speed.
  • Testing stations — absorbs the longer cycle of ICT/FCT stations without slowing the whole line.

Service and Delivery

CE certified and shipped in a wooden export case. Standard delivery is 7 to 10 working days; a 1-year warranty and remote technical support are included. Storage capacity, rack count and automatic width adjustment can be customised on request.

Send us your board size, line layout and inspection cycle time and we will confirm whether HS-HC250 or HS-HC350 fits your AOI and SPI stations.
