Product Introduction
The 250 Three-in-One Buffer Machine is a highly efficient auxiliary device carefully designed for the SMT (Surface Mount Technology) production process. It plays a crucial buffering role between SMT machines. Integrating functions of automatic board loading, unloading, and buffering, it effectively addresses the issue of mismatched production rhythms caused by factors such as differences in equipment speeds and product quality inspections during the production process. With the precise control of the Panasonic PLC programmable controller and the operation interface of the HMI touch screen, the operation of the device becomes simple and intuitive. This staging machine can not only accurately separate good boards from defective boards but also offers multiple storage mode options. It also has a cooling function and a convenient mechanism for removing defective products, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of SMT production and providing a reliable solution for optimizing the production process of electronic manufacturing enterprises.
Product Advantages
1.Diversified Storage Modes and Flexible Control: Compared with competitors' products, our staging machine offers more storage mode options, such as "direct pass", "buffer", and "NG" modes, and the storage status of each layer can be flexibly switched. This high degree of flexibility can better meet different production processes and quality control requirements. However, some competitors' products have a single storage mode and are difficult to adapt to diversified production scenarios.
2.Precise Material Transmission and Positioning: By using a Taiwan-produced brake motor combined with a ball screw to drive the step-by-step lifting of the Magazine and a screw rod-adjusted push plate cylinder, the material transmission and positioning are more accurate. Compared with some competitors' products using ordinary transmission methods, our equipment can effectively reduce errors during the handling of PCB boards, reducing the risk of PCB board collision and damage and improving the product qualification rate.
3.Powerful Cooling Function and Defective Product Handling Mechanism: It has a cooling function, which can effectively reduce the temperature of the equipment during long-term operation, ensuring the stability and service life of the equipment. This is a feature that many competitors' products do not have. At the same time, the design of being able to remove a whole box of defective products at one time greatly improves the defective product handling efficiency, reducing manual operation time and error probability.
4.High-Quality Brand Accessories and Stable Performance: We use well-known brand accessories such as Panasonic PLC and AirTAC pneumatic components. These accessories are reliable in quality and stable in performance. Compared with some competitors' products using ordinary brand accessories, our staging machine is more stable in electrical control and pneumatic execution, reducing the frequency of equipment failures, lowering maintenance costs, and improving production efficiency.
Application
The 250 three-in-one buffer machine is widely used in the SMT production process of the electronics manufacturing industry. In the SMT production line, it can be installed between printers, chip mounters, inspection equipment, etc., to effectively buffer and store PCB boards during the production process.
1.Between the Printer and the Chip Mounter: After the printer completes the solder paste printing on the PCB board, due to possible differences in the printing speed and the chip mounter's placement speed, the staging machine can temporarily store the printed PCB boards, preventing the printer from waiting due to the slow speed of the chip mounter and improving the utilization rate of the printer. At the same time, the staging machine can conduct a preliminary inspection of the printed PCB boards, separate the defective products (NG boards), and prevent defective products from entering subsequent processes, reducing production costs.
2.Between the Chip Mounter and the Inspection Equipment: After the chip mounter completes the component placement, the PCB board needs to be inspected to determine whether there are problems such as poor soldering. The staging machine can buffer the PCB boards after component placement in this link, ensuring a stable supply of materials for the inspection equipment. Moreover, the staging machine can store good boards and defective boards separately according to the inspection results, facilitating the centralized processing and analysis of defective products.
3.Multi-Equipment Collaborative Production Scenarios: In a complex SMT production line, multiple devices with different functions work together. The 250 three-in-one buffer machine can serve as a material buffering center to coordinate the production rhythms of various devices, ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the entire production line. For example, when a certain device malfunctions briefly, the staging machine can continue to store and supply materials, avoiding a complete shutdown of the production line and reducing production losses.

FAQ
(I) Equipment Operation Issues
Q: Do I need professional skills to operate the 250 three-in-one staging machine?
A: Although the equipment is somewhat complex, the operation control panel uses an HMI touch screen with a simple and intuitive interface design and a clear operation process. After simple training, operators can master the basic operations proficiently. We also provide a detailed operation manual for operators to refer to at any time.
(II) Equipment Maintenance Issues
Q: What tasks are involved in the daily maintenance of the equipment?
A: Daily maintenance mainly includes regularly cleaning the dust on the surface and inside of the equipment, especially on the guide rails and chains to prevent dust accumulation from affecting transmission accuracy; checking whether the air pressure of the pneumatic components is normal to ensure the normal operation of components such as the push plate cylinder; checking the lubrication of the brake motor and the ball screw and replenishing lubricating oil in a timely manner; regularly checking the operating status of the Panasonic PLC and checking for any fault alarm information.
(III) Storage Mode Switching Issues
Q: Can I switch the storage mode at any time during the production process?
A: The storage mode can be switched at any time when the equipment is not in operation. However, during the operation of the equipment, to ensure production stability and material safety, it is not recommended to switch the storage mode randomly. If it is indeed necessary to switch, the equipment should be stopped first, and then the switch should be carried out according to the operation process before restarting the equipment.
(IV) Fault Handling Issues
Q: What should I do if the equipment malfunctions?
A: The equipment is equipped with a complete fault detection system. When a malfunction occurs, the display screen will show the corresponding fault code and prompt information. Operators can initially judge the cause of the fault based on the prompt. For some simple faults, such as insufficient air pressure and sensor failures, they can be handled independently according to the guidance in the operation manual. If faced with complex faults, contact our after-sales service team in a timely manner. We will provide remote guidance or arrange professional technicians to repair on-site.
