Nutek PCB Reject Conveyor

A PCB reject conveyor is used to automatically separate faulty or defective boards from good ones during SMT or PCB assembly processes. It allows operators to inspect or remove rejected boards without stopping production, improving line efficiency and product quality.

The NUTEK unit features three selectable modes — Reject, Inspect, and Pass-Through. When a faulty PCB is detected, it can be lifted for inspection or removed safely while good boards continue downstream. This setup prevents production delays and ensures continuous workflow.

Yes. The NUTEK PCB Reject Conveyor is fully SMEMA-compatible, making it easy to integrate into any SMT or automated PCB assembly line alongside printers, placement machines, and reflow ovens.

Yes — in Inspect Mode, the PCB can be lifted and held in position for manual checking or repair. This design supports in-line inspection without the need for separate rework stations, saving time and space on the production floor.

Absolutely. It offers leadscrew-driven width adjustment and variable speed control, ensuring compatibility with various PCB sizes and handling requirements for flexible, high-mix production lines.

Using a PCB reject conveyor reduces downtime, improves quality assurance, and enhances production efficiency. It allows for quick segregation of defective boards, seamless integration with SMT equipment, and safer operator handling during inspection.
