How To Use Component Counters in Modern Electronics Manufacturing
Many electronic component firms now need to do component inventory. Electronic components are small and numerous, and inventory is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, negatively impacting the enterprise’s work efficiency. The invention of the X-ray counting machine has emancipated businesses, and using it to create inventory boosts productivity and quality.
The X-ray component counter machine is often called an automated counter machine. It employs the photoelectric sensor concept and the related relationship between the part carrier tape guide hole and the component to correctly count the number of SMD parts, allowing for simple and quick counting. Calculate the number of elements in a fully automated manner that is handy for counting, issuing, picking, and inventory while producing little operation noise.
What Role Does X-Ray Equipment Play in The Electronics Manufacturing Process?
Using X-rays as an in-process control can assist in eliminating the danger of generating difficult or prohibitively expensive assemblies to repair due to misplaced ‘hidden connection’ devices. Reworking a missing device can be time-intensive and may create additional difficulties in the assembly, such as local heating on the PCB surrounding components. Additionally, rework may surpass the number of solder reflow cycles permitted for double-sided assemblies. Finding a failure later, such as during a functional test, results in additional wasted time and money in diagnosis and re-testing.
The clever X-ray counting equipment can swiftly count the reels of SMD electronic components used in the SMT electronics manufacturing sector. Unlike standard counter machines, this equipment does not require the reel to get unpacked. Counting can help protect incoming materials while also meeting count requirements for different tray sizes and material kinds. The count gets completed in 9–12 seconds or less. It is reported to have high efficiency, high precision (>99.9%), one-button simple operation, no complex operation, and is equipped with a loading and unloading machine to implement automated detecting technology completely.
Ending Note
A component counter machine can handle many components and require no programming to scan. Advanced AI technology detects parts automatically, making operation straightforward.
The component counter machine is the quickest, easiest, and most dependable solution to integrate live component inventory monitoring into your company. It also helps you to boost production while minimizing component shortage downtime.
