As a result, the systems have a pick-up time of three to five seconds and a storage time of approximately six to seven sec- onds.


The system is designed in such a way that the company has generated interfaces to the largest placement manufactur- ers, such as ASMPT, Fuji or Panasonic, and others. Thus, the placement software can directly access the Arcadia system. The Archimede smart stor- age trolley is used to bring the SMD reels from the main storage directly to the line or to the setup place of the SMD line. The Archimede smart trolley is also sensor-based, and a change from


Mek Intros 3D THT Inspection System


LAS VEGAS, NV —Mek (Marantz Electronics) has introduced the SpectorBOX X series, a modular full 3D AOI system for THT solder joints and THT components. SpectorBOX X1 is an indus- try game-changer that redefines Through-Hole Technology (THT) inspection and can be used bot- tom-up for volume measurement of THT solder joints and pin height measurement, or top- down for a 5.9 in. (150 mm) clear- ance for 3D THT components measurement.

the main storage to the smart trolley can be made without hav- ing to scan the reel again. This is an extremely simple workflow for the people working in the warehouse.


The Galileo incoming goods table is a solution to register SMD rolls from incoming goods in the system and assign a UID. Arcadia can, of course, interface the Galileo system as well as the Archimede system with the com- pany’s own ERP system. “In a nutshell, we can re- duce picking times by up to 70% compared to manual warehous-


es,” says Kübler. This means that fewer people are needed in the warehouse or that skilled workers are no longer needed to work in the warehouse because the system is so intelligent and any person in the warehouse can be used for picking.


The Archimede storage sys- tem also can be used directly on the SMD line. This is a significant advantage in terms of replenish- ing the SMD pick-and-place ma- chines should a component run out on the line. Here, an LED im- mediately indicates which compo- nents on the machine are running

rect volumetric measurements of solder joints from selective, wave, robotic, pin-in-paste re- flow, laser, and manual soldering systems, in addition to accurate pin height measurement. With effective shadow and


high reflection suppression, along with high repeatability rates in 3D volumetric measurements, the SpectorBOX X1 redefines quality control standards, all while main- taining a highly competitive price point. Its compact design, separate control box, and I/O options make it easy to integrate into existing conveyor systems. Contact: MEK Americas,
