Key Observations

• Drop door conveyors improve NG board handling

• They reduce manual intervention

• Best used in inspection-intensive environments

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which Conveyor Is Right for You?

• Simple transfer → Standard conveyor

• Frequent NG routing → Drop door conveyor

• Inspection separation needed → Drop door conveyor

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Comparison Leads to System Design

Drop door conveyors must be planned together with inspection and routing logic.
