ASC-100TB Automatic Scanning Conveyor
PCB handling equipment moves bare and populated boards between process steps — loading magazines, conveying, buffering, turning, inverting and unloading. It is the connective tissue of an SMT line: the machines that decide whether printers, placement and reflow run continuously or wait on an operator.
The ASC-100TB is a fully programmable Top and Bottom Side Bar Code Scanning conveyor system. Using our standard Micro-scan barcode readers, the top and bottom side gantries can quickly be programmed to move to various locations on the PCB to read and verify bar codes (labels or laser marks). Decrease Cycle Time by up to 20% or more! When combined with or added to a Laser Mark or Label Print and Place process users can expect a dramatic reduction in cycle time. This is due to the fact that the ASC-100TB can scan barcodes while the upstream Labeling machine is processing the next board. Our data indicates the average time to move and mark to be around 1.5 seconds, whereas, average move and scan time is about 1 second. When a single machine handles both, the time per location averages about 2.5 seconds. For far less than the cost of adding another Marking/Labeling system, you can increase front end productivity with ease!
About the ASC-100TB Automatic Scanning Conveyor
How much does the ASC-100TB Automatic Scanning Conveyor cost?
Price depends on the configuration rather than the base machine — tooling, fixturing, feeders and options move it more than the model does. Tell us the part and the volume and we will send the range for a build that suits it, along with lead time from US stock.
What is the lead time on the ASC-100TB Automatic Scanning Conveyor?
PROMATION USA holds pcb handling in US stock, so a lead time is usually a delivery date rather than an ocean shipment. Configuration and testing happen here before the machine ships, and the engineers who set it up are the ones who support it afterwards.
Can we see the ASC-100TB Automatic Scanning Conveyor run our part before we buy?
Yes. Send us the board, the fluid or the fastener and our IPC-certified engineers will run it on the ASC-100TB Automatic Scanning Conveyor, film the result, and return cycle times and joint quality alongside a quote. There is no cost and no obligation.
Is the ASC-100TB Automatic Scanning Conveyor SMEMA compatible?
Yes. SMEMA handshaking is standard across the PCB handling range, so the ASC-100TB Automatic Scanning Conveyor drops into an existing line alongside other manufacturers' printers, placement and reflow equipment without custom integration work.
