Siplace WPC (Waffle Pack Changer), for SX placement machines, provides a non-stop supply of component trays. Features a non-stop module that permits the adding of full trays and removal of empty ones without having to interrupt the production flow. Automatically moves new trays to their specified destination in the vertical carrier with 28 positions. Depending on carrier position, trays reportedly can be exchanged in two to three seconds. Eliminates positioning errors of manual systems. Can be combined with Siplace COT30 30-track feeder changeover table.
