ZM400ATP PCB Depaneling + Tray Handling Combined Machine

Overview

The SEPRAYS ZM400ATP is an automatic inline PCB depaneling and tray handling machine designed for SMT production lines that require both precision PCB routing and organized PCBA collection. It combines PCB routing, automatic sorting and tray loading, and tray stacking within one machine.

Fully Automated Workflow: PCB Loading → Router Cutting → PCBA Pickup → Automatic Tray Loading → Tray Stacking and Output, with no manual handling required between these processes.

One Machine Replaces Three: By integrating a PCB router, tray loading machine and tray stacker, the ZM400ATP reduces the need for separate equipment, helping lower equipment investment and save production floor space.

Core Advantages

Integrated Depaneling & Tray Loading

One machine combines PCB routing, finished-board pickup, automatic tray loading and tray stacking. Depaneled PCBAs move directly into the tray handling process without requiring separate loading and stacking machines.

Flexible Vacuum Pickup

Independent spring-loaded vacuum nozzles support 360° rotation, with optional ceramic nozzles and customized nozzle designs. The pickup configuration can be adapted to different PCBA shapes, component layouts and tray-loading orientations.

Automatic Tray Buffering

The tray conveying, lifting and buffering mechanisms handle empty-tray feeding and full-tray stacking automatically. Tray buffering reduces frequent manual tray replacement, while optional AGV docking supports automated material handling.

Precision PCB Routing

A high-speed spindle operating at up to 100,000 rpm works with CCD vision alignment to achieve ±0.05 mm cutting accuracy. The machine supports straight, L-shaped, U-shaped and curved cutting paths for precise PCB depaneling.

Application

What PCB/PCBA Panels Are Suitable for the ZM400ATP?

The ZM400ATP is suitable for PCB and PCBA panels that require router-bit depaneling followed by automatic placement of finished boards into trays, particularly products with straight, L-shaped, U-shaped or curved cutting profiles.

It is designed for SMT production lines that need to reduce manual collection, maintain consistent PCBA orientation and organize finished boards into stacked trays for downstream handling.

ZM400ATP PCB Depaneling & Tray Handling FAQ

1. What is the difference between the ZM400ATP and a standard PCB router machine?

A standard PCB router mainly separates PCB panels into individual boards. The ZM400ATP goes further by integrating automatic PCBA pickup, tray loading and tray stacking, reducing the need for separate handling equipment.

2. What tray sizes does the ZM400ATP support?

The machine supports tray sizes from 300 × 200 × 10 mm to 520 × 420 × 30 mm. Actual compatibility depends on the PCBA dimensions, tray pocket layout and pickup requirements.

3. Can the ZM400ATP handle PCBAs with different shapes?

Yes. Its flexible vacuum pickup system supports rotating and customized nozzles for different PCBA shapes. The final pickup configuration depends on product weight, component positions and available suction areas.

4. Does the ZM400ATP support automatic router bit changes?

Yes. The machine uses an automatic tool-changing spindle, reducing the need for manual router bit replacement during production.

5. Can the ZM400ATP separate good and defective boards?

Optional cutting inspection and NG sorting functions are available. These can be configured according to the factory’s inspection and sorting requirements.

6. Can the ZM400ATP connect to an AGV system?

AGV docking is available as an option. The final integration plan depends on the AGV system, tray handling arrangement and factory material flow.

7. How does the ZM400ATP manage empty and full trays?

The machine uses automatic tray conveying, lifting, buffering and stacking mechanisms. It supports a tray buffer capacity of three stacks to reduce frequent manual tray changes.

8. What information should I provide for a ZM400ATP quotation?

Please provide your PCB panel dimensions, Gerber files or cutting drawings, component layout, individual PCBA weight and available pickup areas. Tray dimensions, pocket arrangement, loading orientation, target cycle time and upstream/downstream equipment requirements are also helpful.
