A conveyor length does not describe its board-control behavior. Compare the number of independently controlled positions, inspection stops and downstream pauses.
Cooling fans and dwell time are only inputs. Define the next handling requirement, then measure the actual assembly under a repeatable operating sequence.
Coating changes the handling question: contact areas, material condition and carrier clearance must be agreed before loading or unloading equipment is selected.
A guide to coordinating PCB handling and 3D AOI in a mixed-model SMT line.
A buyer's evidence checklist for repeatable BGA rework: measured thermal traces, placement proof, sample trials and used-unit records.
Use a bottom-side access map to qualify the nozzle, fixture and complete sequence. Two solder pots do not by themselves prove twice the output.
A vacuum setting or attractive X-ray image is not a production result. Link the thermal profile, evacuation sequence and joint measurement before accepting a void-reduction claim.
A bottom-separating destacker, a vacuum top-pick loader and a magazine pusher handle different inputs. Select the mechanism from the actual board and its incoming storage format.
