Nutek NTM1200-L Destacker

The NTM1200-L is used for automatically destacking bare PCBs from a stack (magazine) and loading them onto the SMT production line. It streamlines handling, reduces manual labour, and supports continuous line flow.

It can hold up to 400 bare PCBs of 0.6 mm thickness. The minimum PCB thickness it supports is 0.4 mm.

Approximately 10 seconds per board cycle. This includes picking from the stack and placing onto the line.

• Power source: 100 or 230 VAC, 1-phase supply.
• Power consumption: 150 VA max.
• Air pressure needed: 4-6 bar, with an air consumption of about 5 litres/minute max.

• Size: 500 × 904 × 1330 mm (L × W × H) for both “M” and “L” versions.
• Fixed point to front (X-dimension): 234 mm.
• Weight: 135 kg.
• M: max PCB size 330 mm long x 250 mm wide
• L: max PCB size 457 mm long x 407 mm wide

Yes — it has pass-through mode and supports uninterrupted loading, meaning while destacking is occurring, boards can still flow through or be loaded continuously without stopping the line. This helps maintain throughput.

Yes, it is SMEMA compatible, which ensures it can properly interface with upstream and downstream SMT equipment (conveyors, loaders) per standard protocols.

• Maximum capacity is tied to board thickness: thinner boards may allow more in stack but are also more delicate, requiring careful handling.
• Cycle time (~10 seconds) may still be a bottleneck in extremely high-throughput lines; in such cases multiple destackers or faster loading upstream might be needed.
• Power and air infrastructure must be sufficient (air pressure/volume, AC supply), or performance may degrade.
• Fixed dimension (234 mm fixed point to front) means layout of upstream/downstream equipment must accommodate that space for integration.
