Pick-and-place option identifies PCBs

10 November 2010 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Essemtec introduced a new option for SMD placement machines allowing them to identify a PCB using a barcode label.

This enables the assignment of all placement and component data uniquely to a specific product, which can ease quality assurance and traceability of an in-line production.

The FLX-CRS (code recognition system) allows the error-free assignment of component, placement and other data to a product. The option consists of a barcode reader and a positioning system. The reader is set up so that it can read the code of all PCBs entering the assembly machine and the system can be positioned to scan the PCB from above or below. The PCB’s unique data is saved to a database so that the production can forever be traced back to the individual PCB or component reel.

The FLX-CRS option is available for all placement machines of the FLX and Paraquda series, and can also be retrofitted on installed machines. For data acquisition, the MIS management information system is used. MIS includes modules for quality assurance, production planning, stock management and traceability. In addition, it provides an open interface to higher-level data acquisition or ERP systems.
