Brochure

Buffer systems are used to store assemblies which have been tested as "good" or "bad".
 

Closed process buffer within production lines - VEGO Dynamic FPS 10B SPI

The buffer station FPS 10B SPI is used to store assemblies which have been tested as "good“ or "bad“. Arriving PCBs are taken over onto the buffer segment and positioned. "Bad“ PCBs are always buffered and are only unloaded on request from the operator. „Good“ PCBs are only buffered when required and automatically available on demand from the downstream system. The machine is characterized by its short cycle times and can be used for example downstream from a solder paste inspection system (SPI) to compensate for process-related downtimes. The FPS 10B SPI functions according to the FIFO (First In / First Out) principle and can store up to 10 assemblies. The buffer itself consists of multiple closed conveyor segments built on top of each other which can also easily process PCBs with cut-outs.
 

Closed process buffer within production lines - VEGO Dynamic FPS 30B

The FPS 30B buffer station consists of multiple closed conveyor segments built on top of each other for intermediate storage of up to 30 PCBs for subsequent handover to the downstream system. Arriving PCBs are taken over onto the buffer segment and positioned. If required, the PCBs can be buffered and automatically handed over to the downstream machine using the FIFO principle. The machine is characterized by its short cycle times and can be used to store PCBs after for example, an oven, a pick-andplace or inspection (AOI) system for compensation of processrelated downtimes. The FPS 30B functions according to the FIFO (First In / First Out) principle. The design of the buffer means that it can easily process PCBs with cut-outs.
 

Closed process buffer with two PCB magazines - VEGO Dynamic MPS 100

The buffer combines the functionality of magazine loader and unloader in one unit. Incoming PCB’s can be stored in a magazine and on demand from a following unit they can be pushed out and transferred. The unit is equipped with a conveyer underneath the magazine for pass-through mode. This unit is also equipped with two magazines and two magazine axles. This allows for a higher buffer capacity, three sorting possibilities and also the possibility of separate drives for each magazine. The unit can for example function with the first magazine as a storage unit and the second magazine as a loading unit, both functioning independently of one another.
 

Inline Magazine buffer for one Magazine - VEGO Dynamic MPS 50

The buffer combines the functionality of a magazine loader and a magazine unloader in one unit. Incoming PCB’s can be stored in a magazine and on demand from a following unit they can be pushed out and transferred. The unit is equipped with a conveyer underneath the magazine for pass-through mode.
 

Inline buffer for 2 magazines - VEGO Dynamic MPS 50DC

Inline magazine buffer for double track lines. Two independently functioning lifting axles with automatic magazine intake and adouble track output conveyor. Both conveyors are separately and independently controlled. The magazines are swapped separately on both sides of the unit. 
 

Portal buffer / with overhead passage - VEGO Dynamic PPS 70

The buffer consists of a lifting mechanism, an overhead passage and a vertical buffer belt on the output side of theunit.  Incoming PCB’s are transported upwards with the lift, they arethen cycled through the overhead segment and transportedback down using the vertical buffer belt. The buffer belt placesthe PCB’s onto the conveyor and transfers them to the followingunit. Due to the construction of the unit can only function on theFIFO principal.
 

Small capacity vertical processing buffer - VEGO Dynamic PS 05

The unit temporarily stores PCB’s in vertically aligned transport segments and then transfers them to the following unit.
 

Medium capacity vertical processing buffer - VEGO Dynamic PS 30

The buffer receives the PCB’s from the incoming conveyor and stores them utilising a vertically aligned toothed belt. On demand from the following unit the PCB’s can be lowered back down onto the conveyor and transferred. The unit functions only with the LIFO principal.
