PCB Flipper/Inverter | PCB Traffic Controllers
A PCB flipper/inverter is an automated device designed to flip or invert printed circuit boards (PCBs) by 180 degrees during assembly processes. It ensures proper orientation for double-sided assembly or inspection. Key features include precise alignment, smooth operation, adjustable width, and compatibility with SMT production lines. It improves efficiency, reduces handling errors, and integrates seamlessly with SMEMA standards.

- Description
Description
-
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Automation
Utilizes industrial-grade PLC systems for fully automated 180° board inversion sequences. Ensures repeatable process control with programmable flip angles (90°/180°) and integration with upstream/downstream equipment via SMEMA communication protocols. -
Touch Screen Human-Machine Interface (HMI)
Features an intuitive graphical interface for real-time monitoring of flip cycles, diagnostics display, and parameter configuration. Enables rapid changeovers between different PCB dimensions and process requirements. -
Fully Enclosed Safety Architecture
Constructed with rigid sheet-metal or aluminum-alloy panels to prevent operator contact with moving parts and eliminate particulate contamination during inversion. Complies with IP-rated dust protection standards for cleanroom environments. -
Quick-Access Maintenance Top Cover
Hinged or removable enclosure design facilitates immediate access to belt systems, sensors, and drive mechanisms for cleaning, component replacement, or calibration without tool disassembly. -
Precision Width Adjustment via Lead Screw
Incorporates motorized lead screw mechanisms for micrometer-level calibration of conveyor rail spacing. Accommodates diverse PCB sizes (standard range: 50×50mm to 530×460mm) while maintaining perpendicular alignment during inversion. -
Retractable Servo Drive System
Compact direct-drive servo motor with integrated gear reduction delivers smooth 180° board rotation within 5-second cycles. Eliminates mechanical backlash through rigid linkage design while minimizing footprint (e.g., 500×786×1200mm for FM-330 model). -
Vibration-Damped Motion Control
Precision-engineered grippers with vacuum-assisted or mechanical clamping prevent board slippage during high-speed inversion. Critical for handling thin-core PCBs (≥0.6mm) and assemblies with loose components. -
SMEMA/EMI Compliance
Standardized I/O signals enable synchronized operation within automated SMT lines. Supports bidirectional communication for error reporting and automated recovery protocols during double-sided assembly processes.
