Description & Technical data

VT-MFB Series – Multifunction Buffer for Modern SMT and Coating Lines

The VT-MFB Series Multifunction Buffer is designed for use in highly automated SMT and conformal coating lines. It serves as a flexible intermediate buffer for printed circuit boards and ensures a stable and controlled material flow between critical process stages such as placement, AOI, coating and curing.

With an intelligent control system, adjustable conveyor width and multiple operating modes (including FIFO, LIFO and Pass-Through), the VT-MFB Series can be adapted to various production requirements. This helps balance cycle time differences, bridge short stops and decouple processes without requiring manual intervention.

Typical Applications

SMT lines between pick-and-place machines, reflow ovens and AOI systems
Coating lines between conformal coating equipment and curing ovens
Intermediate buffering before or after inspection systems (AOI, ICT, functional test)
Use as a reject buffer for non-conforming PCBs

Main Features of the VT-MFB Series
