ScanPLACE
Offline Programming, Measurement and Inspection
ScanPLACE provides a sophisticated and user-friendly alternative to complex CAM software packages and inaccurate, time consuming manual inspection and programming methods that cost assembly houses productivity, time and money.
Designed to increase PCB assembly productivity, ScanPLACE is a fully integrated, off-line programming, inspection and measurement workstation.
✔ Flexible: Use one workstation to produce assembly
files for multi-vendor Surface Mount,
Insertion, Test, Inspection and Dispensing
machines.
✔ Powerful: Use one workstation to inspect stencils,
screens and bare or loaded boards.
✔ Accurate: Find and eliminate errors with Loaded
PCBs, Wet Solder Paste, Glue, etc.
✔ Fast: Decrease programming time from days to
hours.
✔ Easy: Windows-based system
Product Functions
insert_emoticonProgramming
Using a calibrated, high-resolution, color imaging system, ScanPLACE produces assembly programs and process documentation for Surface Mount, Insertion, Test, Inspection and Dispensing machines
brightness_autoInbound Board and Stencil Inspection
ScanPLACE increases production efficiency by using off-line comparison of actual PCBs and Stencils against Gerber files and/or a “golden board.” Pre-production check verifies revisions against each other before the first production run. Eliminate surprises.
verified_userBuild Component Libraries
Scan a component to automatically calculate and register information such as Lead Pitch, Lead Size, Body Size, Lead Groups and Pick Up Location.
printOffline Inspection and Measurement
ScanPLACE uses a combination of editing functions to ensure that all information has been inserted correctly. This off-line verification significantly reduces first article setup time.
verified_userFirst Article Inspection
ScanPLACE increases productivity with the ability to scan the first article and compare it to the CAD data.
