High-Speed SMT Line PCB Board Lifter Machine

The HDY-SJ460 Vertical PCB Lifter is a high-precision, servo-driven vertical transport system designed for modern SMT production lines. It enables seamless vertical movement of PCBs between different production stages — such as from reflow oven to inspection station, or from testing to packaging — without interrupting the flow.

With external dimensions of 600*1210*1400mm, this compact yet powerful machine supports PCBs ranging from 50*50mm to 500*460mm, making it suitable for a wide range of consumer, industrial, and automotive applications. The 200kg payload capacity ensures it can handle heavy magazines or large batches with ease.

Powered by a Huichuan PLC and servo motor + precision ball screw lifting system, the HDY-460 delivers stable, quiet, and repeatable vertical motion with a 15-second cycle time — significantly faster than traditional pneumatic lifts. The automatic width adjustment via servo motor eliminates manual calibration, reducing setup time and human error.

The 35B chain conveyor supports bidirectional operation (Left→Right or Right→Left), allowing flexible integration into any SMT layout. The universal voltage (100–230V) makes it globally deployable, while the adjustable height (920±30mm or custom) ensures perfect alignment with upstream/downstream equipment.

This vertical lifter is ideal for:

• SMT Production Lines: Connecting reflow ovens, wave soldering machines, AOI stations, and test fixtures vertically.

• High-Volume Manufacturing: Contract manufacturers producing 500+ boards/day — the 15s cycle time keeps pace with fast lines.

• Smart Factories / Industry 4.0: Huichuan PLC-controlled, compatible with MES systems for real-time tracking (optional add-on).

• Automotive & Medical Electronics: Where precision, reliability, and traceability are mandatory.

• Prototyping & Low-Volume Runs: Compact footprint and easy setup make it suitable for R&D labs and pilot lines.

• Multi-Level Production Floors: Bridges gaps between different floor levels or conveyor heights without manual handling.

Q1: What is the maximum PCB size the HDY-460 can handle?

✅ Up to L500mm * W460mm — covers 95% of SMT boards, including large industrial controllers and automotive ECUs.

Q2: How fast is the lifting cycle?

✅ 15 seconds per cycle — one of the fastest in its class, minimizing downtime between processes.

Q3: Can the conveyor direction be changed?

✅ Yes — Left→Right or Right→Left is optional. Specify at order — cannot be changed after manufacturing.

Q4: Is the height adjustable?

✅ Yes — standard 920±30mm, but custom heights are available upon request (e.g., 850mm, 1000mm).

Q5: What type of lifting mechanism is used? Is it noisy?

✅ Uses precision ball screw + servo motor — ultra-quiet, vibration-free, and highly accurate compared to pneumatic cylinders.

Q6: Does it support automatic width adjustment?

✅ Yes — servo motor automatically adjusts width based on programmed PCB size — no manual knobs or levers.

Q7: What are the power requirements?

✅ 100–230V AC, 50/60Hz — works in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa without transformers.

Q8: What brand of PLC is used?

✅ The machine is equipped with a Huichuan (INOVANCE) PLC — a leading Chinese industrial automation brand known for reliability, precision, and cost-effectiveness. It supports Modbus TCP/RS485 for MES/ERP integration.
