Hi. Personally do not have experience with this but we are reviewing the purchase of an X-ray system for our line. A tier 1 vendor we have worked with is Seamark that is a popular name in Asia. They offer some X-Ray equipment including a counter tha

Hello everyone, there is a recent article published, which states: "X-ray component counters do not damage the components being counted, making them ideal for counting sensitive or expensive components". A couple of years ago I heard a story from a c

Hi everyone, Did you come across a hybrid system of X-Ray inspection system having X-ray SMD component counter capabilities? I haven't seen myself, but that such a solution can be really cost-effective. Thanks

Omron were building some hybrid AIO/X-ray in one machine package

Disclaimer, I'm a VJ Electronic Rep. The VJ Electronix XQuik II is an x-ray parts counter. You can load a PCBA into the system and capture an x-ray image. The system has zoom functionality. But, you will not get the type of measurement and inspection

I want to place smd's by hand from tape strips using a vacuum pump. What is the orientation of polarised smd components on reels/tapes? Is there a standard manufacturing orientation, or are there variations? I understand some manufactures have part

This information is normally available in the component's data sheet (typically toward the end where the packaging is detailed.)

The standard you need is EIA-481B. It details the taping of components from 8mm tape up to 200mm tape including component orientations. 8, 12, 16 and 24mm tape has the sprocket holes only on one side so it is easy to determine the proper orientatio

There 2 main rival standards for orientation in tape and because you can't really trust manufacturers to stick to one or the other or something else entirely it is always wise to check the datasheet. Typically an SOIC will have pin 1 the same end as

Does anyone have experience with DAGE Assure, Hawkeye 1000, XRHCount or similar X-ray component counters? I myself have no experience with any X-ray equipment so any kind of feedback is important.
