optical control Brings Component Counter with Automatic Loading/Unloading to SMTconnect
April 8, 2019 | optical controlEstimated reading time: 1 minute

optical control GmbH & Co. KG is pleased to announce that it will exhibit at SMTconnect, scheduled to take place May 7-9, 2019 at the NurnbergMesse GmbH in Nuremberg, Germany. The company will demonstrate the OC-SCAN CCX.3 component counter with automatic loading/unloading and offline station in Hall A4, Stand 135.
The CCX X-ray from optical control is a true plug-and-play system that can X-ray ANY size reel in the same cycle time no matter type of component, or how full or empty it is. High speed combined with the best accuracy, it is capable of providing an ROI faster than any other machine. The highlight of the CCX is – there are no libraries required or need for customer input to get started. It’s as simple as plugging in the machine, and start counting.
The machine also can be configured for complete automation, including integrations into other sytems such as automated storage units. Whether this is done by software only, using a loading and unloading unit, or complete integration, is up to the customer in their steps toward industry 4.0.
