6.20.2.1 Underfloor conveyor
Two conveyor belts carry empty or placed PCBs underneath the machines (see Fig. 6.20 - 1). The
maximum component height is 17 mm.
6.20.2.2 Horizontal/vertical lift (horizontal/vertical shuttle)
There is an HV shuttle at the start of a line, between the machines and at the end of the line. It
carries the PCBs between the underfloor and processing levels, and between the two tracks on
the underfloor conveyors.

6.20.3 Advantages of the productivity lift
The productivity lift can raise the productivity of a line overall because it increases the placement
rates of the machines on the line.

If lines are connected in parallel, individual machines may fail without bringing the entire line to a
standstill. It is also possible access individual machines while the rest of the line continues placing

without interruption. This chaining increases the components to be placed per station and mini-
mizes conveyor idle times. This leads to an overall higher placement rate on the line.
This could be for
– process-related investigations or test operation
– programming PCB fiducials, package forms or test placements
– maintenance or repairs
– operating errors, such as not splicing tapes on in good time or missing components.
Another advantage is that the line can be reconfigured as required using the software, without
having to reset the machines.
