NG PCB Inspection Buffer – Reliable Sorting & Buffering Solution for SMT Lines

The NG PCB Inspection Buffer is a smart automation device designed to separate and buffer rejected (NG – No Good) PCBs from accepted (OK) ones during inspection or testing stages of SMT production. It ensures smooth and efficient line flow by temporarily storing PCBs and directing them to the correct output path based on inspection results.

Installed typically after AOI (Automatic Optical Inspection) or ICT (In-Circuit Test) equipment, this buffer automatically detects the quality signal and routes each PCB accordingly—either to the OK line for further processing or to the NG stack for manual inspection and repair.

With SMEMA-compatible interfaces and fully automated operation, it reduces the need for manual sorting, improves quality control, and prevents production interruptions.

 Key Applications:

• Post-AOI or ICT Sorting: Separates NG PCBs from OK ones for rework or analysis.

• Buffering for Manual Inspection: Temporarily stores NG boards for technician review.

• Production Line Management: Ensures uninterrupted flow by handling inspection results automatically.

• Quality Control: Enhances defect tracking and minimizes handling errors.

Usage Benefits:

• Automatically sorts defective PCBs without halting production

• Reduces manual labor and human error during inspection

• Improves quality assurance and traceability

• Prevents NG boards from continuing down the line

Whether you’re optimizing a high-speed SMT line or improving QA procedures, the NG PCB Inspection Buffer is essential for maintaining product quality and operational efficiency.
