Magazine Line Unloader
Magazine Line Un-Loader
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.
The ULD magazine handler accepts PCBs from production lines and populates magazines for storage or transport. Typically positioned at line endpoints, it provides an intelligent interface between machines via SMEMA connectivity.
The system employs PLC timers to monitor PCB progression through its integrated conveyor and magazine components. Key capabilities include automatic magazine changeover and adjustable pitch settings ranging from 10mm to 50mm. The unit features roller wheels and leveling feet for straightforward line integration.
Available Configurations: Single, dual, four, and five magazine in-line arrangements; dual front load; dual and quad rear load options.

Power: 110V / 15A standard circuit. The full specification table for the Magazine Line Unloader is published on this page — we do not keep specs in PDFs or images.
How much does the Magazine Line Unloader 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 Magazine Line Unloader?
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 Magazine Line Unloader 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 Magazine Line Unloader, film the result, and return cycle times and joint quality alongside a quote. There is no cost and no obligation.
Is the Magazine Line Unloader SMEMA compatible?
Yes. SMEMA handshaking is standard across the PCB handling range, so the Magazine Line Unloader drops into an existing line alongside other manufacturers' printers, placement and reflow equipment without custom integration work.
