Description

The Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine (WET-FA-05) is a production-grade factory automation system. Rather than a one-size-fits-all unit, it is built to a specification confirmed with your team — panel handling, control software, throughput, and material compatibility are all set to your mix.

Where the Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine Fits in the Process

In a PCB line the Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine sits in the factory automation area. Correct integration with the steps before and after it is what protects overall yield, cycle time, and cost per panel, so it is specified as part of the wider flow rather than in isolation.

Key Capabilities

  • Stainless-steel wetted parts and chemically resistant construction where the process requires it.
  • Safety interlocks, alarms and guarding designed for a production environment.
  • Designed for low maintenance, fast changeover and high equipment uptime.
  • MES/PLC integration for recipe control and production data.
  • Automatic loading, unloading and transfer between stages.

Where It Is Used

Used to connect process equipment with automated handling and MES-level control for high-volume fabrication.

Configured to Your Line

This is not an off-the-shelf machine. We confirm your panel size, throughput target, and facility services first, then propose a configuration of the Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine that fits. Installation guidance and commissioning support are included so the line reaches stable output quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine do in the production line?
The Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine is configured for a specific stage of the wet-processing or precision-machining sequence. It is usually integrated with the handling and rinse stages around it so that throughput and surface quality stay consistent batch to batch.
Can the Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine be customised for our process?
Yes. Conveyor width, tooling, control options, and the surrounding handling can be adapted to your panel size, throughput target, and facility constraints. Share your specification and we will propose a configuration.
What are the utility requirements for the Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine?
Electrical supply is specified at 3-phase 380-415 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Compressed air, water, and exhaust connections are detailed in the installation drawing supplied before delivery.
What is the maximum panel or workpiece size for the Buffer / Temporary Storage Machine?
This configuration is rated for a maximum panel size of —. Larger or thinner stock can usually be accommodated with tooling changes — confirm the exact window for your job before ordering.
