For fast indexing and flipping sections where rigid wheels can cause slip or edge impact, the 48/49/50 Soft Wheel Disc adds a cushioned grip surface to keep PCB and FPC panels stable during rapid transfer.
Core Advantages: Dual-layer structure, soft rubber/PU traction, vibration damping, noise reduction, and customizable hardness.
Selection Recommendations: Choose the suitable bore diameter, thickness, Shore hardness, and coating material based on board weight, conveyor speed, and process environment.
Applications: PCB, FPC, and LCD conveyor chains, board flippers, positioning systems, etching machines, developing lines, and wet-process transfer sections.
Stable Operation Guarantee: Helps reduce panel slippage, edge chipping, conveyor vibration, tracking errors, and downtime caused by unstable board movement.
Eliminating Conveyance Slip and Excessive Vibration in High-Speed Lines.
Unstable conveyance is the primary culprit behind substrate misalignment and micro-scratches. The 48/49/50 Soft Wheel Disc is precision-engineered to address these mechanical instabilities. By utilizing a high-resilience rubber coating over a high-strength core, these discs provide the necessary friction to grip delicate PCB and FPC panels without marking the surface. This design significantly dampens high-frequency machine noise and absorbs the mechanical shocks associated with fast indexing and flipping motions, ensuring your production line maintains consistent tension and positioning accuracy through even the most rigorous throughput requirements.
Engineered Resilience for Dynamic Conveyance
Tailored Performance for Your Conveyor Architecture
These components are critical for the efficient transport of rigid PCBs, flexible FPCs, and delicate LCD glass substrates. In environments such as high-speed developing lines and etching machines, these wheel discs provide stable support during chemical treatment, ensuring uniform processing by maintaining precise alignment. They are essential in automated flipper modules and positioning systems where rapid directional changes occur. By providing a secure, non-slip contact point, they protect panels from physical trauma while minimizing the mechanical wear typically caused by harsh drive components in continuous board manufacturing workflows.
In horizontal PCB wet processing, the consistency of board speed is vital for chemical reaction control. Our soft wheel discs are deployed in transport sections immediately preceding etching or developing tanks. Their non-slip surface ensures that panels do not stall or jam, which would otherwise lead to localized over-etching or bath life inconsistencies. The immediate ROI is realized through a drastic reduction in mechanical rejects and the elimination of panel-tracking errors that require costly line resets.
Beyond transport, these discs excel in automated board-flipping mechanisms. By dampening the impact force during the flip transition, they prevent board edge chipping—a common source of rework in mass production. For the maintenance supervisor, this means less frequent adjustments to conveyor tracking and a longer service interval for the drive motors. By protecting the substrate from vibrations during transit, these wheels provide a stable, reliable platform that maximizes overall equipment efficiency and board yield across the entire factory floor.
