REECO multifunction PCB buffer, PCB Size: 400 × (50–350) mm – intelligent inline storage for SMT lines
The REECO multifunction PCB buffer is a smart, high-capacity inline conveyor system designed for PCBs sized 400 × (50–350) mm. Featuring FIFO, LIFO, and pass-through modes, it optimizes board flow and eliminates downtime in high-speed SMT environments by efficiently buffering boards between production modules.
Why choose this PCB buffer?
- Multiple operating modes: FIFO, LIFO, or pass-through for full control over board sequence.
- High storage capacity: Up to 24 PCBs with standard pitch spacing.
- Motorized width adjustment: Rapid adaptation to a wide range of PCB formats.
- Bidirectional transfer: Left-to-right or right-to-left movement to fit various line configurations.
- SMEMA-compatible: Seamless integration with SMT automation systems.
- Pneumatic operation: 5 kgf/cm² air pressure – standard for industrial environments.
- Certified safety: CE compliance and robust design ensure operational reliability.

Practical applications in production
This buffer is especially valuable in scenarios where downstream modules (e.g. pick-and-place, inspection) are temporarily overloaded. It ensures continuity of board flow without stopping upstream operations. Configurable for FIFO or LIFO, the buffer gives operators precise control over process order and task management.
The unit integrates smoothly with SMT systems such as placement robots, inspection stations, soldering machines, and AOI systems. It supports efficient scheduling, reduces idle time, and enables ergonomic board handling across different production layouts.
Ensure continuous flow, higher productivity, and smarter operations
By investing in the REECO multifunction PCB buffer, you eliminate bottlenecks, streamline production, and maximize SMT line utilization. Automatic board buffering keeps your process stable even when downstream throughput fluctuates. With electric width adjustment and an intuitive control interface, this unit adapts instantly to job-specific requirements—ideal for both short runs and high-volume workflows.
Choose the REECO buffer as a strategic part of your automation setup, and enhance reliability, control, and efficiency across every stage of electronic manufacturing.
