If you're running an SMT production line, you know that the right peripheral equipment can make or break your efficiency. Let’s break down the must-have machines that keep things running smoothly—from loading PCBs to stacking them neatly at the end.

1. Mini Loader: Small Footprint, Smart Feeding

This little machine is a space-saver—it can hold up to 50 boards and works with both semi-auto and fully automatic printers. Whether you're running single or double panels, it moves just enough to avoid wear and tear. It feeds boards on time using a trigger system and alerts you when it’s empty, so there are no surprises.

2. Stack Conveyor: Your Line’s Connector & Buffer

Think of the stack conveyor as the bridge between machines. It moves, checks, tests, and buffers PCBs, and you can use it alone or link several together. It handles different PCB sizes and keeps the flow between stations smooth and flexible.

3. Automatic PCB Loader: Sturdy & User-Friendly

Built with a steel frame and a microcomputer control system, this loader is tough and reliable. The touchscreen makes it super easy to operate. It sits at the start of your line, pushing out PCBs one by one and signaling the next machine down the line.

4. Team-Up: Auto Loader + Stack Conveyor

When you pair an auto loader with a stack conveyor, you get fully automatic feeding—even for boards with pre-mounted parts. Run boards straight through or stack up to 100–200 panels at a time for non-stop feeding.

5. Automatic Unloader: Gentle on Your Boards

Made with an aluminum body and PLC control, this unloader is stable and smart. The touchscreen and alarm system keep things simple and safe. You can adjust the shelf height based on PCB thickness, and its gentle handling prevents board damage while speeding up output.

6. L-Type & Stack Unloaders

The L-Type unloader works like a rolling frame system, great for various unloading setups. The stack unloader is perfect for end-of-line panel collection—it stacks boards in under 5 seconds, comes with a color touchscreen, easy width adjustment, and standard signals to connect with other equipment.

Having the right peripherals—like mini loaders, stack conveyors, and automatic unloaders—can seriously level up your SMT line. They automate the boring stuff, protect your boards, and keep production humming. Whether you’re setting up a new line or upgrading an old one, these tools are worth the investment.
