Link Conveyors for SMT Line Connection, Transfer and Routing
S&M link conveyors connect SMT equipment into a stable line. The range covers single-track, dual-track, corner, flipper, gate, incline, and belt conveyors for different line layouts and board transfer needs.
What Is a Link Conveyor Used For?
Link conveyors connect SMT process stations, change line direction, bypass sections, flip boards, bridge height differences, or support belt transport where standard chain conveyor is not enough.
1. Different machines need stable transfer to avoid waiting, jams or board handling issues
Different machines need stable transfer to avoid waiting, jams or board handling issues.
2. Line layout may require 90-degree turns, bypass gates, height changes, or board flipping
Line layout may require 90-degree turns, bypass gates, height changes, or board flipping.
3. Using mismatched conveyors creates small delays that become daily downtime

Position in the SMT Line
S&M equipment is selected around the real production flow, not as isolated machines. This helps reduce station mismatch and daily waiting time.

FAQ
Common questions from EMS/OEM buyers and SMT process engineers.
Can S&M match this with our existing SMT line?
Yes. Share board size, conveyor direction, upstream/downstream machine position and target cycle time. We will check the line fit before quotation.
Do you support custom sizes?
For non-standard PCB size, line direction or station spacing, send the layout drawing and production target so the engineering team can confirm a suitable configuration.
What should we send for a fast quote?
Send PCB size, product type, target UPH, current line layout, destination country and any special process requirement.
