NEO LIGHT Stencil
SMT Stencil Smart Storage Rack
SMT stencils are large and uniquely shaped, making them incompatible with standard reel racks or automated storage systems. NEO LIGHT Stencil comes in three models holding 80, 124 or 252 stencils, with vertical or horizontal slots matched to the stencil frame size and open-rack or door-cabinet options. High-precision position sensors plus LED location guidance eliminate stencil mix-ups and search-time waste.
Stencils Need Closed-Loop Management Too: Register, Store, Pick & Return
NEO LIGHT Stencil handles Storage (②), Picking (③), and Return (⑥) in the material closed loop. In the semi-auto ecosystem, NEO SCAN handles stencil registration, NEO LIGHT Stencil manages storage, picking and return, while NEO COUNTER X400 handles remaining-quantity counting.

Dedicated Slot Design: A Purpose-Built Solution for SMT Stencils
NEO LIGHT Stencil delivers value across three dimensions: dedicated slot storage, sensor-based location tracking, and lifecycle traceability, providing a dedicated smart storage solution for SMT stencils.
- Three models for 550×650, 584×584 and 737×737 mm stencil frames
- One stencil per slot, vertical or horizontal by model, prevents stacking damage
- Easy insert and retrieve, reduced handling time
- High-precision position sensors detect stencil insert/remove
- LED lights quickly locate the target stencil position
- Sensor auto-confirms inventory status, no scanning needed
- SMF software manages stencil full lifecycle
- Tracks usage count, cleaning records, tension test history
- Prevents expired stencils from reaching the line

ERP/MES Integration & Material Traceability
NEO LIGHT connects to your shop-floor systems through open interfaces. Every light- or sensor-guided store and pick is logged and reported to MES/WMS/ERP in real time, so inventory stays accurate without changing how your lines already run — semi-automatic control with full digital traceability.
- Store and pick operations reported to MES/WMS/ERP for real-time inventory sync
- Barcode scan auto-matches each reel to its material ID and slot
- Deploys alongside existing lines — no line rebuild or AGV required
- Role-based operator login with full action history
- Material IDfrom reel barcode
- Slot Locationshelf / position
- OperationStore / Pick
- Operatorlogin / badge
- Timestampper operation
- ResultConfirmed / Exception
Reliability, ESD Safety & Compliance
Built for daily electronics-manufacturing duty with ESD-safe handling throughout and a standards-compliant design approach suited to automotive, medical and other high-reliability sectors.
Compliance scope, certifications and performance figures are confirmed per project, configuration and region.
Stencil-Dedicated — A Unique NEO LIGHT Capability
NEO LIGHT Stencil is the only smart stencil storage solution on the market. The physical form factor of stencils makes them incompatible with SMD BOX automated storage, making this a unique capability exclusive to NEO LIGHT.

Is NEO LIGHT Stencil Right for Your Factory?
Best fit
Any line that stores stencils — the only smart stencil storage solution on the market, since stencil form factors are incompatible with box-type automated storage.
Performance (as specified)
80, 124 or 252 stencils per unit, one stencil per dedicated slot (vertical or horizontal by model; loose stacking bends stencils and degrades print accuracy) with position sensors and LED location guidance.
Deployment requirements
Deploy alongside SMD BOX / NEO LIGHT reel storage; in the semi-auto ecosystem NEO SCAN registers stencils and NEO COUNTER X400 counts remainders.
Integration
SMF platform tracking for storage, picking and return — eliminating stencil mix-ups and search time.
