Cimtrak® Bare Board Mechanical Gravity Destacker
The Cimtrak Bare Board Mechanical Gravity Destacker from Simplimatic Automation is a modular high-speed method for unloading unpopulated printed circuit boards (PCBs) onto an electronics assembly line. Each unit is capable of independent operation utilizing an onboard Allen-Bradley® PLC, but the system is designed to be linked with other up-line or down-line processes using SMEMA communications.
This bare board destacker is a popular method for loading printed circuit boards in high-mix applications, as the only changeover requirement is width adjustment.
Simplimatic’s electronics design philosophies have been highly regarded by the electronics industry since 1988 and are known to have an average service life of more than 15 years.
