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.
