In-line Magazine Buffer

The Magazine buffer is placed in the line to balance board flow in FIFO or LIFO buffer mode, act as a line splitter in Loader or Unloader mode, or line merger in Pass-through mode. The magazine can be removed/exchanged at any time in all work modes. Filling ratio, skip factor, first and last load / unload position of the magazine is selectable. All input is made through the operation panel, which makes the unit easily managed. Most standard sized magazines are supported in Loader and Unloader mode, and multiple magazine settings can be stored in memory for easy retrieval when changing between different sized magazines. The pass-through conveyor, mounted below the magazine, enables smooth transportation of PCBs in pass-through mode and in buff er modes when the magazine is empty. When necessary, the three coloured light tower, with audible alarm, attracts the operators attention and an informative message is displayed on the operation panel.
