Barcode Scanning Conveyor

BAR CODE SCANNING CONVEYOR

Considering the Barcode 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.

Barcode Scanning Conveyor

The ASC-100TB is a fully programmable top and bottom side barcode scanning conveyor system. It utilizes standard barcode readers, allowing the top and bottom side gantries to be programmed to move to various locations on the PCB to read and verify barcodes — whether labels or laser marks.

Performance Benefits: The system can decrease cycle time by up to 45% or more when combined with or added to a laser mark or label print and place process. Users can expect dramatic reductions in cycle time since the ASC-100TB can scan barcodes while upstream labeling or laser marking machines process the next board.

Questions

About the Barcode Scanning Conveyor

What is the pass line height of the Barcode Scanning Conveyor?

Pass Line Height: 950mm nominal +/- 30mm. The full specification table for the Barcode Scanning Conveyor is published on this page — we do not keep specs in PDFs or images.

What is the power draw of the Barcode Scanning Conveyor?

Power: 110V / 15A standard circuit. The full specification table for the Barcode Scanning Conveyor is published on this page — we do not keep specs in PDFs or images.

How much does the Barcode 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 Barcode 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 Barcode 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 Barcode Scanning Conveyor, film the result, and return cycle times and joint quality alongside a quote. There is no cost and no obligation.

Is the Barcode Scanning Conveyor SMEMA compatible?

Yes. SMEMA handshaking is standard across the PCB handling range, so the Barcode Scanning Conveyor drops into an existing line alongside other manufacturers' printers, placement and reflow equipment without custom integration work.
