The SMD Tower is a flexible, automated, expandable buffer storage unit designed for production lines. Is said to correctly stores components in a controlled atmosphere, ready for a quick, smooth line changeover. Database records movements and tracks all stored reels and component quantities for single reel or tray, and automatically processes a complete kitting list or an entire component assembly program. Uses a unique identification code to ensure the correct article is always provided or stored, eliminating component mixups. Return-to-storage is said to be quick and convenient.
