Neo Counter X800

Neo Counter X800

Neo Counter X800, inline Xay SMT Reel Counter,  provide unprecedented component counting automation. Neo Counter X800 can help you with the following:

  • Batch material handling
  • Counting automation
  • Material sortation automation
  • Label printing
  • Relabeling
  • AGV ready

Beyond Counting

Neo Counter X800 is an inline Xray SMT Reel Counter. It can work with AGV for material loading and unloading.Component quantity for specific reel will be stored into database and even upload to user’s IT system whatever MES/ERP, etc.Label with component quantity info. can be generated,printed and automate relabel on the required reels.

Component type

Neo Counter, Xray SMT Reel Counter, can work with many components in different packaging with the latest AI counting technology. Neo Counter can work with the minor component like 01005, and large ones PLCC, SOT, QFP, SOT, connector, odd form etc. even those components in the special package like the tube, MBB (Moisture Barrier Bag) can also be counted.

Inline Xray Component Counter

Neo Counter, the inline X-ray component counter ,can receive materials from an automated guided vehicle (AGV) or manually loaded by a trolley. The materials are picked up by a robotic arm and sent to the counter for counting. After the counting process, the software records the results and automatically prints a label with the correct quantity. This label is then attached to the surface of the reel. A stacker then stacks the materials before being unloaded by the AGV or trolley. This process ensures accurate counting, efficient labelling, and streamlined material handling, making it a convenient way of managing electronic component inventory.

Batch material handling

Advantages of batch material handling include cost savings (e.g., by reducing the need for frequent material replenishment), improved inventory management, and the ability to customize or batch process materials for specific orders or customers. It can also be more efficient than continuous material handling in some cases, as it allows for the storage of larger quantities of materials that can be used or shipped out as needed.

 

Relabeling

Label with component quantity info. can be printed right after the operator unload any reel from SMT Reel Counter. Users can also build their label template, size, field information that could be added and modified at any time. Multi data code in the format of 1D/2D is also supported by NeoX

Material Sorter

The material sorter is an add on to Neo Counter X800. Electronics components from the warehouse, production lines have different destinations: different manufacture order, job, SMT line.  With the help of vision system, we can identify the material code and divert them to a specific area for further operation. The material sorter can be added before and after the counting process.

AGV ready

AGV: Automated Guided Vehicle. AGV can help SMT manufacturers realize unmanned transport operations for SMT reels, PCB, containers. Neo Counter X800 provides loading/unloading port for AGV connection purposes. AGV can supply a group of SMT reel materials to SMT reel counter like X800.

NeoX: AI powered

NeoX, Neotel Xray SMT reel Counting software, is using Artificial Intelligence algorithm that makes the counting process faster than ever. Within seconds user gets the quantity result and is automatically linked to a specific reel/component. Our algorithm not only works on the conventional SMD component but also work for loose component (not in reel style) and even odd forms.

Traceability

Traceability is becoming important in electronics manufacturing. Control movement of electronics components in and out wherever processed in Neo Counter or stored at Neo Light/SMD BOX and placed in the production line. High data grain level material is achieved with the help of traceability module in SMF. Component Reel ID, the counting image could be stored in the database for future verification. The traceability module in our system meets with IPC-1782(Standard for Manufacturing and Supply Chain Traceability of Electronic Products)

SMF software

Neo Counter is powered by SMF software. SMF: Smart Material Flow is the software suite from Neotel Technology for controlling and automating electronics materials. It can cover all your materials needs: Materials receiving, Automated material storage/retrieval system, AGV control, Component counting, Kitting, etc.

Connectivity

NeoX software provides seamless integration to your existing IT system, ERP/SCM/MES/WMS. Through our advanced Connectivity service users could get real-time component usage, material code info. counting results/quantity to specific reel. Right component, right place, the right time is becoming possible!

Benefits of inline xray reel counter

Inline x-ray component counters offer several benefits over manual counting methods, including increased accuracy, speed, and automation. They are typically used as part of an inventory control process to ensure that the correct number of components are used in electronic assemblies.

Component to be counted

  1. Resistors: These components limit the flow of electricity in a circuit.
  2. Capacitors: These components store electrical charge and can be used to smooth out fluctuations in the flow of electricity.
  3. Inductors: These components store energy in the form of a magnetic field and filter signals, and control the flow of electricity in a circuit.
  4. Diodes: These components only allow electricity to flow in one direction and are used to protect circuits and convert AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current).
  5. Transistors: These components amplify signals and control the flow of electricity in a circuit.
  6. Integrated circuits (ICs): These are miniature electronic circuits that perform various functions, including processing and transmitting information.
