HW-L Corner Conveyor

The HW-L corner conveyor is a single-rail 90-degree transfer unit from HWGC, a China SMT machine manufacturer, used to join two SMT production lines that meet at a right angle. On receiving the handshake signal, its adjustable-width rail trolley retracts, rotates the PCB by 90 degrees, extends again and releases the board to the next machine. The unit measures 750x750x1200±20 mm, handles PCBs from 50x50 mm to 250x350 mm at a 920±20 mm conveyor height, and runs on AC 220 V with PLC control, OMRON photoelectric sensing and a touch-screen HMI. It is a practical corner conveyor for automated PCB assembly layouts.

Key Features

• 90-degree corner transfer for precise connection of two SMT lines arranged at right angles
• Adjustable-width rail trolley combining rail extension, retraction and rotation
• Repeatable cycle: receive the board, retract the rail, rotate 90 degrees, extend the rail, release the board and return to the waiting position
• Pass-through and rotation modes switchable with one key on the human-machine interface
• Pass-through and cornering functions can be combined to sort OK and NG boards
• High-performance PLC control with OMRON photoelectric sensors and a touch-screen operation panel
• High-precision ball screw, precision linear bearing, hard chrome rod and stepper motor deliver repeat accuracy with no cumulative error
• Fully welded 3.0 mm cold-rolled sheet-steel frame with electrostatic powder coating
• Standard four-core signal cable for direct connection to other equipment

SMT Industry News

Market research forecasts continued growth of the global chip mounter and SMT equipment market through 2032, and AI server boards with high-end computing PCBs are adding further pressure on SMT capacity. For factories expanding production, the practical question is often how to add equipment without moving walls: linking two lines at a 90-degree corner is one of the most effective ways to fit more stations into an existing building. A corner conveyor makes that layout possible while keeping board transfer automatic and signal-controlled. As smart factory integration advances, these transfer units also feed the position data and OK/NG decisions that MES-driven production lines use to keep quality visible.

Applications

The HW-L corner conveyor is installed where a PCB must turn 90 degrees between two pieces of SMT, DIP or assembly equipment, typically in L-shaped and U-shaped line layouts. It links placement, reflow, inspection and assembly stations that sit in different aisles of the same workshop, and its pass-through mode lets it serve as a normal conveyor when no turn is needed. Electronics manufacturers and contract manufacturers use it to connect two SMT lines into one continuous flow, while the OK/NG sorting option supports quality control at the junction. Customized non-standard models are available for different board sizes and special requirements.
