Overview

The BBS 20 buffer station consists of multiple closed conveyor segments built on top of each other for intermediate storage of up to 20 PCBs for subsequent handover to the downstream system. Arriving PCBs are taken over onto the buffer segment and positioned. If required, the PCBs can be buffered and automatically handed over to the downstream machine using the FIFO principle. It can be used to store PCBs after an oven, a pick and place or inspection (AOI) system for compensation of process related downtimes. The BBS 20 functions according to the FIFO (First In / First Out) principle. The design of the buffer allows to handle easily PCB´s with sidelong cut-outs
