Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine (ACF-FA-05)
Where the Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine Fits in PCB Manufacturing
In a PCB production line, the Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine operates in the material handling area of factory automation systems. Correct integration with the upstream and downstream stages is essential to overall yield, cycle time and cost per panel.
Stainless-steel wetted parts and chemically resistant construction where the process requires it.
Safety interlocks, alarms and guarding designed for a production environment.
Designed for low maintenance, fast changeover and high equipment uptime.
MES/PLC integration for recipe control and production data.
Automatic loading, unloading and transfer between stages.
Typical Applications
Used to connect process equipment with automated handling and MES-level control for high-volume fabrication.
Integration and Configuration
The Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine can be supplied as a standalone unit or integrated into a conveyorized, automated line. Panel-size handling, control software, throughput and material compatibility are configured to match your production mix. Because this is a configured-to-order system, the specification is finalized with our engineers before quotation.
Pricing
The Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine is a non-standard, configured-to-order system. Pricing starts from approximately US$40,000 for a base configuration and is finalized by quotation based on your panel size, automation level and throughput requirements.
