PCB Conveyor
Single Conveyor And Flexible Dual Conveyor
Conveyor principle
If the board has reached the
placement area and passed
a light barrier, it is braked. An
additional laser light barrier
determines the position of
the board. As soon as the cir-
cuit board has reached its
target position, the conveyor
belt is stopped and the board
is clamped from below. The
placement process then
starts immediately. Move-
ment and clamping of the
PCBs are monitored.
Position of the conveyor
rails
The conveyor can be easily
matched to many different
PCB widths by the automatic
electrical width adjustment.
The fixed conveyor rail may
be located on the left or right
for both the flexible dual con-
veyor and the single con-
veyor.
Conveyor buffer
SIPLACE PCB conveyors
have three buffer zones (see
figure, page 9. If shorter wait-
ing times occur in a place-
ment area (due to longer
cycle times in the oven, for
example), the downstream
placement areas can con-
tinue to work since the unaf-
fected area can easily
access the PCB that is wait-
ing in the buffer zone. This
increases the true output of
the placement line.
Single conveyor
On the single conveyor,
PCBs are moved one after
the other into the placement
machine and placed on a
conveyor lane. This con-
veyor variant is particularly
suitable for very wide PCBs.
Flexible dual conveyor
To keep the range of PCBs to
be processed as wide as
possible - whilst maintaining
maximum productivity - the
flexible SIPLACE dual con-
veyor allows you to choose
between single conveyor
mode and dual conveyor
mode. In dual conveyor
mode, two PCBs are moved
into the placement machine
and placed either simultane-
ously (synchronous opera-
tion) or alternately (asyn-
chronous operation).
In synchronous mode, two
PCBs are moved into the
placement position at the
same time. They are pro-
cessed as a common panel.
This allows the top and bot-
tom of PCB to be processed
on the same line and, for
products with very different
components to be placed,
the common optimization of
all the components to be
placed on both PCBs makes
it possible to increase output.

PCB Conveyor
Alternating Placement Mode
SIPLACE X4I I-Placement
In asynchronous mode,
only one PCB in a transport
lane is processed. At the
same time, another PCB in
the second transport lane is
moved into the placement
position. This saves the full
conveying time of one PCB,
thus considerably increasing
performance, particularly for
PCBs with a short cycle time.
The placement process
starts as soon as one PCB is
transported into the process-
ing area.
Alternating placement
mode
In the proven SIPLACE
placement method, the two
heads work alternately on
the PCBs on both conveyor
lanes. While the first head is
placing components on both
PCBs, the other head picks
up new components. With
this new arrangement of the
placement heads and com-
ponent changeover table in
SIPLACE X4I, the output is
much higher in both con-
veyor modes than in a com-
parable SIPLACE X4.
I-Placement
(SIPLACE X4I only)
Another placement concept
has been developed for the
SIPLACE X4I in addition to
synchronous and asynchro-
nous modes. This is known
as I-placement. In this mode,
the two heads work simulta-
neously and populate a PCB
totally independently of one
another. This further in-
creases the output. The
background: the placement
heads and component
feeder modules from the
SIPLACE X-series have
speeded up component pick-
up to such an extent that it is
now the distance compo-
nents are transported to the
PCB that is the speed-limit-
ing factor.
