Slide Line Conveyors

Slide Line Hand Assembly Work Stations

Considering the Slide Line Conveyors?

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.

Slide Line Conveyors

PROMATION's slide line work stations are great for hand placing components, mounting odd form components, inspecting solder and/or conducting rework. Our Signature frictionless steel roller chain allows product to glide effortlessly during the assembly/transfer process. Available in both power and non-power transfer, these work stations can be used to directly feed a reflow oven or wave.

Questions

About the Slide Line Conveyors

How much does the Slide Line Conveyors 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 Slide Line Conveyors?

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 Slide Line Conveyors 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 Slide Line Conveyors, film the result, and return cycle times and joint quality alongside a quote. There is no cost and no obligation.

Is the Slide Line Conveyors SMEMA compatible?

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