X-ray component counting systems estimate the number of components inside suitable reels or packages without manually unwinding them. This method can make inventory checks and the return of partially used reels easier to manage in SMT production.
The system forms an X-ray image and uses software to identify components within the package. Count quality depends on the component geometry, packaging and the equipment’s recognition capabilities. Representative reels should be assessed to confirm that the required component types can be counted reliably.
Consider supported reel sizes, loading arrangements and the time needed to identify and record each package. Barcode handling and links to inventory software can help associate the count with the correct material record. A defined procedure for unusual packages or uncertain results remains useful. The equipment should fit the receiving, storage or line-return area where counting will actually take place.
