Bottom Line: X-Ray Component Counters Boost Revenue and Reduce Downtime
By Danny Lumbreras, Chief of Service and West Coast Regional Sales, Scienscope International
ever. Unfortunately, most companies are unaware of how much time and money can be saved by using an X-ray component counter. Accurate inventory control allows production to continue with maxi- mum uptime, while minimizing excess inventory and optimizing material flow. Scienscope offers a versatile line of X-ray component counting systems at a competitive price point.

Batch Component Counters The Scienscope AXC-800 7” has
been developed specifically to suit the needs of smaller contract manu- facturers. The system counts 7 in. (18 cm) reels, cut strips and loose parts, which makes it well-suited for entry-level component counting. The AXC-800 also has the capability of sending its counted information to any material management system. The machine also comes with a
barcode template that is inter- changeable and can be integrated to mimic the customer’s current label. With an external 1D and 2D scan- ner, the system can scan a wide vari- ety of barcodes. The parent of this machine is
the AXC-800, an all-in-one compo- nent counter. This system can count 7, 13 and 15 in. (18, 33 and 38 cm) reels, cut strips, loose parts, JEDEC trays, and tubes. With its simple interface and efficient processing, the system can streamline the inventory staging period, where reels sit on a shelf until they need to be counted. The AXC-800 includes artificial intelligence (AI) technolo- gy, which allows it to scan all kinds of components, without requiring a library. The system automatically detects the type of component, with no input from the operator. The AXC-800 II is Scienscope’s
top-of-the-line batch component counter. With the same AI system in all three of the machines, this system offers internal barcode scanning. Scanning barcodes within the machine eliminates the operator task of having to decide which barcode to scan. The machine can capture all the data from every barcode on a reel. Through software, the system
can link a UID, which in turn will carry all the information on the reel. The machine can not only transfer the barcode, but also date, time, location, and operator information. This system is designed to make component counting as easy as pos- sible for any user, regardless of their level of training. While each of the AXC-800 mod-
els have similar capabilities, Scien - scope tailors each machine to meet the individual customer’s needs. The AXC-800 systems are capable of counting a 7 in. (18 cm) reel in about seven seconds, with a barcode label printed out shortly after. For the AXC-800 and AXC-800
II, counting large reels takes about 24 seconds. These systems are geared more for manufacturers run- ning high-mix, medium-volume pro- duction.
Inline Systems Scienscope offers systems to
suit all types of manufacturers. The See at NEPCON China, Booth 1D55 and SMTconnect, Hall 4A Booth 100 AXC-800 series batch component counters.

AXI-5100c is an inline component counting machine that comes in three models, like the AXC-800 series. The AXI-5100c series is automated and geared spec - ifically to count components. The series has the capability of counting 7 in. (18 cm) reels only, or 7, 13 and 15 in. ( 18, 33 and 38 cm) reels, JEDECs, cut strips, and trays. These highly intuitive systems require nothing but to be loaded with a cart of 200 7 in. (18 cm) reels, and one cart of 50 larger reels. After the reels are loaded, the operator presses
start and 40 minutes later, the 200 reels are count- ed. In the case of the AXI-5100c II, the reels can also

Reflow convection soldering with flexibility and high throughput
The VisionXP+ with vacuum option reliably removes pores, gas occlusions and voids immediately after the soldering process – while the solder is in an ideally molten state. Void rates of less than 2 % are made possible by vacuum of down to 10 mbar. Pressure and speed can be individually adjusted. This integrated solution results in a the PCB in an external vacuum system is no longer necessary – the workpieces are transferred from the peak zones directly to the vacuum process.
