Telescopic Lifting PCB Conveyor (also known as a walkway machine) is a critical transitional device in SMT production lines that addresses physical space conflicts and facilitates automated coordination. Its core function lies in dynamically adjusting track layouts to ensure both production efficiency and smooth workflow. Based on technical documentation and industry practices, its functional system can be systematically summarised as follows: Core Function: Intelligent Physical Space Scheduling 1. Track Extension and Retraction Driven by servo motors and precision linear guides (with a travel range of 600mm), the transfer track can be horizontally retracted to 60% of its original width, creating a safe passageway for personnel and material carts while avoiding production line interruptions for maintenance. Typical Case: After an operator triggers the passage button, the track completes the retraction/reset action within 5 seconds, synchronously pausing PCB transmission via linked equipment signals. 2. Precision Alignment Across Equipment A lifting system combining YADEKA cylinders and guide columns (lifting range: 920±20mm) eliminates height differences between tracks of equipment such as reflow soldering machines and pick-and-place machines, ensuring seamless PCB transmission.
