Rail-Only Edge / Rail Conveyor System; Combo Combination Conveyor System - Vitronics Soltec XPM2 Technical Reference Manual

RAIL-ONLY EDGE / RAIL CONVEYOR SYSTEM
The edge / rail conveyor system (shown below) permits single or double sided surface mount printed circuit boards
to be processed through the oven. The standard chain conveyor carries circuit boards on 0.185 inch (4.75mm)
long pins extending from the chains. This conveyor system provides a convenient interface to other equipment in
the production line. Some Ovens have two sets of rails and chains (Dual Rail) for the processing of two PCBs at
the same time.
COMBO COMBINATION CONVEYOR SYSTEM
The combination belt/rail conveyor has both the edge rail and a mesh belt. The mesh belt is approximately 7/8
(22mm) below the edge rail conveyor, and both conveyors are driven together. The belt conveyor is shorter than
the outside edge of the machine with the sheet metal covers on, and shorter than the end of the rails with chain
guards installed.
