1-FB

FIFO/LIFO buffer slot style GENIUS 1-FB FIFO/LIFO Buffer delivers
advanced board handling performance with a high-speed servo-controlled slot transport
system that ensures fast and precise PCB movement. Designed to optimize line balancing, cooling, and inspection processes, this module supports FIFO, LIFO, reject buffer,
and pass-through modes—all in a compact, maintenance-friendly design.
Unlike traditional systems, the 1-FB eliminates the need for belts, pushers, or pullers,
leveraging an innovative slot-based roller transfer system that is both anti-static and
magazine-free. With the ability to buffer up to 25 PCBs at 26 mm pitch, it ensures efficient
and reliable handling for high-mix, high-speed production environments.
Ideal for SMT lines seeking intelligent buffering with minimal mechanical complexity, the
GENIUS 1-FB sets a new benchmark in performance, reliability, and line integration.

STANDARD FEATURES
