Nutek NTM0200 Bare Board Loader with Pass Through Mode – PCB Conveyor

The NTM0200 is a bare-board loader designed to automatically load PCBs from a board magazine into the production line. The “pass-through mode” lets PCBs continue through the loader when not in loading mode, functioning as part of the conveyor flow rather than interrupting it.

There are Medium (M) and Large (L) versions:

• M: approx. 500 × 730 × 1330 mm, weight ~ 110 kg.
• L: approx. 653 × 870 × 1330 mm, weight ~ 140 kg.
• M: max PCB size 330 mm long x 250 mm wide
• L: max PCB size 457 mm long x 407 mm wide
• There are also pass-through variants (NTM0200PM and NTM0200PL) having similar footprint/weight to their non-pass-through counterparts.

The machine features smooth and parallel width adjustment, allowing the machine to accommodate varying PCB widths. The adjustable suction positions help in gripping boards properly.

Key safety features include covers surrounding the machine to provide high safety, a top safety cover that can be opened for maintenance access, and a user-friendly ‘soft touch’ LED membrane control panel.

The fixed point to front dimension is 234 mm. This is the distance from the loader’s fixed point to the front edge, which is important for designing conveyor layouts, ensuring board alignment with upstream/downstream machines.

The loader has “large PCB stock capacity,” meaning it can store a number of bare boards in its magazine or loader mechanism before feeding them into the line. (Exact board height or quantity depends on the magazine design.) The pass-through mode allows continuous board flow even when loading mode is not active.

Yes. It is SMEMA compatible, which ensures it can integrate into standard SMT line conveyor / equipment communication protocols. This helps with automated board hand-offs.

• Although the footprint is relatively small, its size and weight still require consideration in terms of factory floor space and structural capacity.
• Board height & thickness limits might constrain some oversized or nonstandard boards; the loader is “bare board” loader, so populated boards are not in scope. (This is implied from “bare board” context.)
• The pass-through mode is useful but may introduce complexity in how the loader transitions between loading and pass-through states, which could affect throughput if not configured correctly.
• Maintenance access is facilitated, but regular upkeep of suction components, width adjustment guides, and the control panel is needed to maintain reliability over time.
