Is this cheaper than buying the rack and kit separately?

Yes. The bundle is $490; the B0109GN-80C rack at $416 plus the Rack Wear Kit at $99 is $515 bought on their own, so the bundle saves $25. Same two products, one line on the PO.

Do I need the wear kit on day one?

Not on day one. The kit is insurance against the day a gear rounds off or a lever set gives up, which on a rack that changes board width daily is a question of when. Having it on the shelf turns that into a bench repair instead of a wait for a part.

Does the wear kit fit this exact rack?

Yes, that is the point of the bundle. The kit shipped here is the variant matched to the B0109 chassis. The wear kit fits gear-adjust racks only; screw and belt racks wear at the panels and frame instead.

Details

Stop swapping racks every time the board width changes.

One rack for every board width on the line. The shift runs, and nobody calls the engineer to the floor.

The engineer, who chooses it: Fits the loaders and unloaders your line already runs, in the heat rating your oven needs. It's the one part of the line you choose once and never think about again.
The operator, who uses it: Set the width, lock it, load the boards. When the line backs up, stack up to five full racks on top of each other.
The buyer, who pays for it: In stock with the price on the page, shipped from the USA in under 24 hours on a card or a PO. When a part wears out years from now, you replace the part, not the rack.

Description

What it does on your line

The B0109GN-80C is a maximum-format 50-slot ESD magazine rack built for in-line SMT automation, board storage, and bench-to-bench transport on wide board lines, backplanes, motherboards, oversized industrial PCBs. Gear-track adjustment sets the board width from 50 to 460 mm (1.97″ to 18.11″) in seconds, with parallelism maintained across all 50 slots, one rack covers the full maximum-format range (up to 535 × 460 mm (21.06″ × 18.11″) boards) without re-tooling.

Construction: 5 interchangeable Conductive PPE side panels per wall, aluminum pillars, galvanized steel base. The mixed-material build provides structural rigidity under repeated loading and inline conveyor handling, while keeping the entire current path conductive, at 10⁴ Ω. Sectioned panels can be swapped individually if one is damaged, the rack stays in service.

Designed for the standard 80 °C ambient envelope (transport, storage, soldering, inspection, cleaning). For bake or cure cycles, see the B0109GM-200C (200 °C) or B0109GL HT-300C (300 °C all-aluminum) siblings on the same maximum-format chassis. For narrow-flex flexibility on the same chassis, see the B0109GC BELT-80C.

Best uses

SMT loading and unloading: Feeds the loader and takes boards off the unloader.
Between process steps: A full lot moves from cell to cell without anyone handling single boards.
Storage: Boards stay upright and apart on the shelf.
Inspection and QC: Boards wait in their own slots until they are checked.

Why factories use PCB racks

A board is most at risk while it waits between steps: static, scratches, bent edges and mix-ups.
A rack holds every board upright and apart, each in its own slot.
A conductive rack carries static away instead of letting it build up on the boards.
Magazine racks also feed boards straight into SMT loaders and unloaders.
The boards in one rack are worth far more than the rack.

FAQ

Questions

Will the B0109GN-80C drop into my SMT loader / unloader?

The 569 mm (22.40″) chassis height (+6 mm (0.236″) vs B0103/B0106 at 563 mm (22.17″)) and 10 mm (0.394″) slot pitch align with the standard interface used by ASM SIPLACE, Yamaha YSM, Panasonic NPM, Juki RS, and most other in-line SMT loader / unloader equipment, but the 535 × 530 mm (21.06″ × 20.87″) footprint is a large one, many in-line loaders are not configured for maximum-format racks out of the box. Confirm with your loader / unloader vendor before ordering. Reference offsets are A=34, B=40, shared with the B0108 chassis, distinct from B0103 / B0106 (B=34) and B0109GL HT-300C (uses A=32 / B=39 due to all-aluminum panel rebuild).

What does “parallelism monitored” gear-track adjustment actually do?

Both side panels travel on a synchronized rack-and-pinion gear track. Turn the adjustment knob on either side and the opposite panel travels the same distance in the same direction, parallelism is mechanically monitored, not just operator-eyeballed. The result: a width spec set on Monday loads the same boards on Friday, and both panels stay parallel through the full 50–460 mm (1.97″–18.11″) travel range.

Can I bake the B0109GN-80C? What’s the temperature ceiling?

The GN-80C variant is rated −20 °C to +80 °C, the standard SMT envelope (transport, storage, soldering, inspection, cleaning). For bake-suitable use on the same maximum chassis, pick the B0109GM-200C (200 °C), which uses the same chassis with the same gear track. For aerospace-grade 300 °C cure, use the B0109GL HT-300C all-aluminum variant.

What’s the difference between this and a slotted-edge rack like RA-18C?

The B0109GN-80C is a maximum-format magazine rack: 50 slots, 10 mm (0.394″) pitch, designed to drop into in-line SMT loader / unloader equipment. The RA-18C is a slotted-edge transport rack: 25 slots at wider pitch, designed for benchtop / between-bench manual transport, not for in-line equipment. Pick magazine racks for SMT-line integration; pick slotted-edge for hand carry / bench-side WIP.

Can I replace a damaged side panel without buying a whole new rack?

Yes. The side panels are made of 5 interchangeable Conductive PPE sections per wall, each individually replaceable. If one section gets cracked or contaminated, swap that section out and the rest of the rack stays in service. Rack spares are sold separately for every magazine-rack chassis we’ve ever shipped, typically in stock.

What ships in the box?

One B0109GN-80C magazine rack, sold individually. Includes stopper bar and carrying handles (top and bottom). Packaging size 570 × 550 × 100 mm (22.44″ × 21.65″ × 3.94″) at 13.2 kg gross. Stocked at the US warehouse; in-stock orders ship in under 24 hours. Ships flat and goes together with the supplied screws.

How much weight can a loaded rack carry?

The load capacity (weight limit) is up to 85 kg (187 lb), spread evenly across the slots. As a check, 50 carrier plates at 1 kg each come to 50 kg, comfortably inside that. The figure is the whole load in the rack, not per slot.

Can I run anodized aluminum carriers or fixtures in this rack?

You can, and the load path here is conductive PPE side panels, the usual choice for bare boards. If you carry anodized aluminum carriers or fixtures and want no polymer touching them at all, the HT version of this chassis replaces every panel with clear anodized aluminum, so anodized rides on anodized, and it stays conductive, 10⁴ Ω.

Is there a 3D model or STEP file for this rack?

Yes, on request. Dimensional drawings and CAD are not posted on the site, so ask through the documentation request page and the team sends the STEP model for this chassis.

Can you ship to our contract manufacturer or an overseas partner?

Yes. Racks ship FOB origin from the US, and we drop ship to a contract manufacturer, a loader vendor, or your own site abroad. Send the delivery address with the order, and if you have a carrier account we book the shipment on it. One order can go to more than one address.
