PanelScan traceability and inspection system captures 1D and 2D barcode data from multi-array PCBs at the front-end or mid-stream on an SMT line. Is said to read barcodes on entire length and width of any PCB array. Intuitive user interface for quick training. Replaces manual scanning. Does not require line shutdowns to reposition, reconfigure, and test barcode readers. Comes in standard and wide configurations. Includes up to two GigE line scan cameras and lenses, up to two custom LED lights, software, trigger, and cables. Integrates into existing manufacturing execution system (MES) software.

RP-1 solder paste printer has a special mechanism to align the bare PWB with a screen mask; drives three alignment modules attached on the outer circumference of the mask stage to adjust the position in X, Y and θ directions simultaneously. This permits repetitive printing accuracy of circumference fine adjustment to improve up to ±10μm, and duration including correction and movement time reduced to six sec. Optional automatic solder dispenser and cleaning functions available.
