PCB Parallel transport machine (Model XY-465 XY-460)
Our company has been in operation for 11 years and will definitely be your best choice with guaranteed quality and fast delivery
Product Introduction – PCB Parallel Transport Machine (Model XY-465 / XY-460)
The PCB Parallel Transport Machine, models XY-465 and XY-460, is designed to move PCBs laterally (sideways) between parallel production lines or equipment in SMT assembly lines. It ensures smooth and accurate horizontal transfer of boards without rotation, especially in multi-line or dual-lane configurations.
These machines are widely used to connect two lines, perform line balancing, or shift boards from a printer or SPI to a mounter or inspection system, especially when layout constraints prevent direct inline transfer.

FAQ Guide – PCB Parallel Transport Machine (Model XY-465 / XY-460)
1. What is a PCB Parallel Transport Machine used for?
The parallel transport machine is designed to move PCBs sideways (laterally) between adjacent SMT production lines or equipment. It enables non-rotating, horizontal transfers in multi-line setups, ensuring smooth and efficient board handling.
2. What is the difference between XY-465 and XY-460?
XY-465: Supports bidirectional (left-right) transfer, allowing PCBs to shuttle in both directions.
XY-460: Supports unidirectional transfer, typically from one side only (left → right or right → left).
3. What are the typical applications?
Transferring PCBs between parallel SMT lines
Changing PCB flow direction when inline transfer is not possible
Connecting machines such as SPI, AOI, and pick-and-place systems
Balancing dual-lane or high-mix production lines
4. What PCB sizes are supported?
Standard PCB range: 50 × 50 mm to 460 × 250 mm
Custom dimensions available on request
Width adjustment can be manual or motorized depending on model
5. Is SMEMA communication supported?
Yes. Both XY-465 and XY-460 are equipped with SMEMA-compatible interfaces for easy inline integration with upstream and downstream equipment.
6. How is the transfer performed?
The shuttle mechanism uses linear guide rails and a ball screw, powered by a stepper motor or servo motor for accurate lateral positioning without rotating the board.
7. What control options are available?
Touchscreen HMI or button control panel
Controlled by PLC for precise automation
Supports programmable movement sequences and transfer logic
8. Is air pressure required?
Only if optional pneumatic stoppers or pushers are installed. In that case, an air supply of 4–6 kg/cm² is required. Standard shuttle operation is electric.
9. What is the machine height and speed?
Height: 900 ± 20 mm (adjustable feet included)
Typical cycle time: 5–8 seconds per transfer, depending on PCB size and configuration
10. What optional features are available?
Signal tower light (R/G/Y with buzzer)
Barcode scanner mounting brackets
Safety light curtain
Motorized width adjustment
MES system interface
11. What maintenance is required?
Regular cleaning of rails and belts
Lubrication of ball screws and guides (e.g., with VG32 oil)
Inspection of sensors, motors, and wiring
Spare part replacement for belts, sensors, or cylinders
12. What is the delivery time?
Standard models: 3–5 working days
Custom configurations: 7–10 working days
