Scienscope International exhibits at the Upper Midwest Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place today, June 14, 2018 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Minneapolis - Park Place in Minneapolis, MN. The company will exhibit with JW Sales, who will discuss the AXI-5100c inline component counter and AXC-800 X-ray component reel counter, as well as its micro-focus X-ray inspection systems. The release of the AXI-5100c in addition to the AXC-800 allows Scienscope to offer the most comprehensive component counting system solutions in the industry.
The AXI 5100c is the ultimate in flexibility. It is a fully automated flexible, inline, fast and accurate component counting machine designed to increase productivity. With automated barcode reading and reel size and height detection, the optional loaders and unloaders means you can simply drop off a batch of reels and go about your business being productive in other areas. With this machine you can start out with a stand-alone batch, and grow into more automation in the future.
Scienscope also offers a table top component counting system – the AXC-800 an Automatic X-ray Inspection Component Counter designed for the inspection of components on traditional reels, from 01005 to odd form devices. However, this machine goes beyond standard inspection of components in 7” 13” and 15” reels, with the ability to inspect components in JEDEC trays (including BGA ball counting), ESD storage bags, storage tubes, or just about any form by using simplified algorithms built into the system for all types of components.
