optical control to Exhibit in Two Booths at JPCA Tokyo
May 2, 2019 | optical controlEstimated reading time: 1 minute
optical control GmbH & Co. KG is pleased to announce that it will exhibit at JPCA Tokyo, scheduled to take place June 5-7, 2019 at the Tokyo Big Site. The company will demonstrate the OC-SCAN CCX.3 component counter with automatic loading/unloading and offline station in the Alpha and Yamaha booths.
The CCX X-ray offers high speed combined with the best accuracy, and is capable of providing an ROI faster than any other machine on the market. The highlight of the CCX is – there are no libraries required or need for customer input to get started. It is as simple as plugging in the machine, and start counting. It 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.
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.

SEL: Revolutionizing PCB Production Through MES, Partnerships, and Vision
08/21/2025 | Barry Matties, I-Connect007Two years ago, we visited Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) to better understand its new captive greenfield PCB facility. We recently returned, this time to discuss how this bold vision has transformed the industry. Barry Matties met with John Hendrickson, engineering director, and Jessi Hall, vice president of vertical integration, to discuss the transformative capabilities of Factory Core, SEL’s custom manufacturing execution system (MES), which allows for real-time monitoring of workflow and machine performance, and has led to impressive improvements in quality and cost efficiency.
Smart Automation: Pick-and-place Machines—What Matters in 2025
08/12/2025 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationWhen people talk about placement technology, they often zero in on speed: How fast can a machine place components? What's the quoted components per hour (CPH)? How many nozzles are on the head? While these metrics matter, on most production floors, the fastest machine on paper isn’t always the most productive.
Driving Innovation: Inner Layer Alignment Methods in PCB Production
08/06/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, precision is a fundamental requirement. Among many complex processes, the accurate registration of inner layers before lamination is one of the most critical. Much like a child's game where rings must be perfectly stacked onto a single pin, PCB manufacturers align multiple conductive and insulating layers to form a cohesive, functional board. This alignment directly affects PCB precision; tighter layer alignment results in smaller "annular rings," superior performance, and higher yields.
Smarter Machines Use AOI to Transform PCB Inspections
