Turning Station Conveyor
90° Turning Stations
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.
Our CWT Series turn stations may be used to transfer PCBs around a corner for continuous flow in production or the JTS-50 can sort Good and NG PCBs after AOI. "Good" PCBs pass through and "NG" PCBs are re-routed to the front or rear of the line. Junction type turns are also available. Each system provides an intelligent pathway between machines / processes via SMEMA interface and uses PLC timers to track PCB progress. Systems are built for CW, CCW, Junction, and pass/fail sort configurations. A hand crank is used to adjust rail width. Roller wheels and leveling feet allow for quick integration into the line.
Features & options
About the Turning Station Conveyor
What is the line interface of the Turning Station Conveyor?
Interface: SMEMA spec. 1.2 / NFPA 79. The full specification table for the Turning Station Conveyor is published on this page — we do not keep specs in PDFs or images.
How much does the Turning Station Conveyor 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 Turning Station Conveyor?
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 Turning Station Conveyor 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 Turning Station Conveyor, film the result, and return cycle times and joint quality alongside a quote. There is no cost and no obligation.
Is the Turning Station Conveyor SMEMA compatible?
Yes. SMEMA handshaking is standard across the PCB handling range, so the Turning Station Conveyor drops into an existing line alongside other manufacturers' printers, placement and reflow equipment without custom integration work.
