| | | We currently using the Panasert SMT machine where PCB flow | | | direction were from right to left, & we are planning to move | | | in the FUJI -CP3 & CP4-2 in line where standard PCB | | | flow direction were left to right. | | | Any comment on FUJI machine modification of flow | | | direction correspondence to Panasert right to left? | | | | | | Thanks. | | | | | | Daniel | Hello Daniel, | | I am not familiar with either of the machines you are using but if it is not possible to to reverse the conveyor direction on either of them would it be possible for you to physically turn the Fuji through 180 degrees. Just a suggestion. | | Tony B | | | My suggestion would also be to leave the Fuji direction the way it is. (It's more standard anyways?) and put a 180� turning unit (with a y axis that moves the board to match the other fixed rail again). We did a similar job in an easy way, where the customer wanted to include a right to left oven after left to right placement machines. The oven was to be put at a 90� angle. We took a T-station and configured it this way, that the board gets turned the other direction and then travels out backwards towards the oven. Mail us if you need any board handling like this.
Best regards,
Erhard
Also: If you want to reverse the line a shuttle would be an easy way! The board would always keep the same direction, it would just travel sidewards in the shuttle and travel back out down the second part of the line again.
