Product Introduction – L-type PCB Loader

The L-type PCB Loader is an automatic board loading machine designed to transfer PCBs into SMT production lines in an “L-shaped” configuration. It is typically installed at the front end of the SMT line and used to load bare or assembled PCBs from magazines onto the conveyor system, allowing seamless hand-off to downstream equipment such as printers, mounters, or inspection machines.

Key Features

L-shaped layout: Saves floor space by arranging magazines and conveyor at 90 degrees.
Automatic PCB loading: Transfers boards from magazine to line conveyor using a pusher and lift system.
Touch screen operation: Easy-to-use HMI for setting parameters and operating the loader.
Compatible with standard magazines: Supports 390×320 mm or customized magazine sizes.
Safety features: Includes protective covers, alarm system, and emergency stop button.
Durable construction: Aluminum frame with anti-static surface treatment.

FAQ Guide – L-Type PCB Loader

1. What is the L-type PCB Loader used for?

The L-type PCB loader is designed to automatically load PCBs from storage magazines into the SMT production line. Its “L-shape” design allows space-efficient layout and flexible line integration.

2. Why is it called “L-type”?

Because the magazine rack is positioned perpendicularly (90°) to the conveyor direction, forming an "L" shape. This saves space and allows side access.

3. What types of magazines are supported?

Standard size: 355 × 320 × 563 mm
Optional: 390 × 320 × 570 mm or custom sizes
Material: Aluminum frame with ESD-safe side panels

4. What PCB sizes are compatible?

Minimum size: 50 × 50 mm
Maximum size: 330 × 250 mm (customizable)
Check your loader's configuration or adjust rail width accordingly.

5. What are the key features?

Space-saving L-shape design
Automatic lift and push-arm mechanism
Touchscreen interface with PLC control
Compatible with SMEMA communication
ESD-safe structure and low noise operation
Emergency stop and safety covers

6. What is the cycle time per PCB?

Typically around 6–10 seconds per board, depending on board thickness, magazine type, and configuration.

7. What are the main wear parts or accessories?

Push arm
Lifting motor and belt
Sensors (photoelectric type)
Solenoid valves and air cylinders
Magazine rack clamps
Control panel or touch screen

8. What maintenance is required?

Weekly: Check sensors, clean rails
Monthly: Lubricate lift guide, check belts
Quarterly: Inspect push arm, test E-stop
Replace air filters and pneumatic parts as needed

9. What safety features are included?

Emergency stop button
Protective side covers
Optional safety light curtain
Alarm buzzer for errors or jams

10. Can it be customized?

Yes. Many models support:

Custom magazine sizes
Foot pedal control
Inline barcode scanner
Additional I/O for MES or traceability integration
