The Manual Lift Gate Conveyor is designed to create a safe, accessible passageway within a production line without sacrificing material flow. Featuring a standard 600 mm (customisable) opening, the unit uses cylinder-assisted lifting and a pneumatically-locked gate to ensure operator safety when the walkway is open. A leadscrew-driven width adjustment enables smooth, parallel re-configuration for different board sizes or lane widths, and the conveyor is fully SMEMA-compatible for seamless integration into electronics assembly lines. Ideal for manufacturing settings where personnel or equipment access is needed through a conveyor lane, this solution combines ergonomic handling, flexible width adjustment and reliable performance.

A manual lift gate conveyor provides a safe access point for operators or equipment within SMT and PCB assembly lines. It allows personnel to pass through the conveyor area without interrupting the continuous flow of boards, improving both safety and line efficiency.
This conveyor uses a cylinder-assisted lifting mechanism that enables easy, ergonomic manual operation. When lifted, a pneumatic locking system secures the gate in place, ensuring safe operator passage. The smooth motion reduces effort while maintaining production line stability.
Yes, the unit is fully SMEMA-compatible, allowing seamless integration with other standard SMT conveyors and equipment. This ensures consistent communication and line control across your entire assembly process.
Yes, the leadscrew-driven width adjustment allows quick and precise setup for various PCB or product widths, ensuring maximum flexibility for different assembly applications in SMT production lines.
Safety is ensured with a pneumatic lock system that prevents accidental lowering, a counterbalanced lift design to reduce strain, and sensor options that can stop upstream conveyors during gate operation. These features protect both operators and equipment.
Unlike fixed conveyors, manual lift gate conveyors provide operator access and easy maintenance points without needing to dismantle sections of the production line. They improve workflow flexibility, safety, and ergonomics — ideal for SMT assembly lines, PCB manufacturing, and electronics production environments.
