Accumulation Stations

Considering the PCB Accumulation Station?

PCB handling equipment moves bare and populated boards between process steps — loading magazines, conveying, buffering, turning, inverting and unloading. It is the connective tissue of an SMT line: the machines that decide whether printers, placement and reflow run continuously or wait on an operator.

PCB Accumulation Station

PROMATION's CC-06b and CC-PC conveyors utilize either Steel 06b Roller Chain Belts or Pin Belts to transport PCBs. These conveyors may be programmed for continuous running, progressive indexing, or standard point to point transfer. The retractable hand crank is used to adjust rail width which folds neatly back into the panel so it never gets lost. Variable speed control is standard on this model. Roller wheels and leveling feet allow for quick integration into the production line.

Questions

About the PCB Accumulation Station

What is the line interface of the PCB Accumulation Station?

Interface: SMEMA spec. 1.2 / NFPA 79. The full specification table for the PCB Accumulation Station is published on this page — we do not keep specs in PDFs or images.

How much does the PCB Accumulation Station cost?

Price depends on the configuration rather than the base machine — tooling, fixturing, feeders and options move it more than the model does. Tell us the part and the volume and we will send the range for a build that suits it, along with lead time from US stock.

What is the lead time on the PCB Accumulation Station?

PROMATION USA holds pcb handling in US stock, so a lead time is usually a delivery date rather than an ocean shipment. Configuration and testing happen here before the machine ships, and the engineers who set it up are the ones who support it afterwards.

Can we see the PCB Accumulation Station run our part before we buy?

Yes. Send us the board, the fluid or the fastener and our IPC-certified engineers will run it on the PCB Accumulation Station, film the result, and return cycle times and joint quality alongside a quote. There is no cost and no obligation.

Is the PCB Accumulation Station SMEMA compatible?

Yes. SMEMA handshaking is standard across the PCB handling range, so the PCB Accumulation Station drops into an existing line alongside other manufacturers' printers, placement and reflow equipment without custom integration work.
