The ROBOPATO Unloader is an advanced automation solution designed specifically for stacking and unloading finished PCBs from various high-precision lines. Ideal for high-pressure cleaning lines and final finishing processes such as OSP, Silver, Tin, or other lines where PCBs are already routed—the ROBOPATO Unloader offers exceptional efficiency and meticulous care.
Built to preserve the pristine quality of each PCB, the ROBOPATO Unloader employs a scratch-prevention design that ensures all handling is smooth and secure. Equipped with a high-performance 4-axis SCARA robot, the system performs up to 12 precise manoeuvres per minute, aligning seamlessly with the line speed to maintain optimal production flow. The ROBOPATO Unloader efficiently collects multiple PCBs simultaneously entering the input conveyor, stacks them in operator-defined pile heights on a secondary conveyor, and spaces each stack automatically.
Once at the end of the second conveyor, PCB stacks can be transferred onto a movable conveyor or easily picked up by an operator for further handling.
A specially designed vacuum gripper allows the ROBOPATO Unloader to handle routed and drilled PCBs with precision. It uses high suction and low airflow to secure transport without compromising PCB surfaces. The ROBOPATO Unloader can be integrated with the ROBOPATO Loader for enhanced traceability, providing complete synchronization across loading and unloading operations.
