Modular, autonomous PCB handling systems for flexible electronics manufacturing

Explore our fully modular and autonomous PCB handling units that can be seamlessly integrated into your production line. FlexLink's product line offers independent modules that are flexible, reliable, and easy to control.  

Each unit is equipped with its own control system, and thanks to standardized interfaces such as SMEMA, HERMES, or IPC-CFX, the modules communicate effortlessly with upstream and downstream stations, ensuring smooth data transfer. By intelligently linking the modules, setup times can be significantly reduced, making your production even more efficient.

All units are protected against electrostatic discharge and bear the CE mark to meet the highest safety and quality standards.

PCB handling modules

From standard products to customized solutions – your electronics manufacturing perfectly tailored

Modern and efficient electronics manufacturing requires more than just a simple transport module to reliably move printed circuit boards from A to B. We recognized this more than 25 years ago and, working closely with our customers, developed a comprehensive portfolio of handling modules for printed circuit board assembly.

Three key objectives were the focus of our development work:

  • Increased efficiency for our customers
  • Modular setup to reduce costs and ensure the shortest possible delivery times
  • Highest quality and reliability for smooth and trouble-free production processes

It was always important to us to leave sufficient room for customer-specific adaptations. Whether small software enhancements or extensive mechanical modifications – we are your reliable partner for implementing customized solutions
