Common Applications

Dual Lane Reflow Oven Feeding
Balance PCB flow into dual lane ovens for maximum thermal efficiency.

After High Speed Pick and Place
When one placement machine is down for maintenance, transfer boards to the working machine.

Before Dual Lane Test Equipment
Distribute PCBs evenly between two testers to reduce queue time.

Production Line Balancing
Adjust workload between parallel lines when one line runs faster than the other.

Buffer Management
Store and release PCBs when downstream equipment is temporarily busy.
