This plug-in conveyor line is the motorized version of the adjustable speed board line. Rail width is set by push button instead of a hand crank: a motor drives both rails to the entered board width, and the two rails stay parallel, so a change from one PCB size to the next takes seconds and stays repeatable shift after shift. On a line that runs several board sizes in one day, that difference is felt at every changeover.
The line is split into two speed zones, each with its own frequency converter. The loading end can run slower where operators place boards, while the assembly end runs faster to clear finished boards, or one zone can be stopped for a check without stopping the other. Speed is set between 0.3 and 8 m/min through the converter knob or the touch panel, and the imported gear motor holds torque at the low end where the line actually runs.
Boards ride on a special aluminium alloy guide rail with a nylon chain, which does not scratch the board edge and does not leave the black marks a bare iron chain leaves on the copper at the edge. An iron chain remains available where heavier fixtures are carried. The frame is aluminium profile with ESD grounding points on the rails, so charge on the chain and rail is drained instead of reaching the boards.
Workstations can be fitted with an LED lighting bar, a tool rail, a parts bin bracket and an ESD wrist strap point on the profile, and the line can be delivered in sections so it is extended or re-routed when the layout changes. A PLC can be added to link the line to a station call system or a factory MES.

When to Choose the Motorized Version
Choose the motorized version when several PCB widths run on the same line in one shift, when the line has a slow loading station and a fast unloading station that should not share one speed, or when line width has to be set by a supervisor rather than by whoever is at the crank. For a single board size and one constant speed, the standard adjustable speed conveyor line is the lower cost choice.
Notes
Before ordering: confirm the PCB width range, line length and number of stations, whether one or two speed zones are needed, chain type, and the control interface required; a layout drawing is issued for approval before production. During use: keep the rails parallel and the chain free of solder debris, verify the ESD grounding connection at planned intervals, do not change width while boards are on the rails, and check chain tension at the drive end each month.
