PCB Assembly Machine Offline Programing, Measurement & Inspection Software – ScanPLACE™

A fully integrated, off-line programming, inspection and measurement workstation.

A sophisticated and user-friendly alternative to complex CAM software packages and inaccurate and time-consuming manual inspection and programming methods that cost assembly houses productivity, time and money.

Description

About the PCB Assembly Machine Offline Programing, Measurement & Inspection Software – ScanPLACE™

Why use ScanPLACE?

  • 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.
  • FAST - Decrease programming time from days to hours.
  • EASY - Windows-based system

Programming

Using a calibrated, high-resolution, color imaging system, ScanPLACE produces assembly programs and process documentation for Surface Mount, Insertion, Test, Inspection and Dispensing machines.

Import / Scan

  • CAD, Components, Boards, Film, Stencils, BOM and Gerber Data.

Output

  • Component Pitch, Rotation and body dimensions
  • X/Y Component Centroid
  • Reference Designator & Package ID
  • Part, Feeder/Magazine Number
  • User Defined Data
  • Gerber Data
  • Process Documentation
  • Multiple machine specific CAD files (IMC, SMT, TEST, AOI) and Stencil file generation during one programming session
  • Component Information for Vision Databases

In-bound Board & 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.

Build Component Libraries

Scan a component to automatically calculate and register the following information:

  • Lead Pitch, Lead Size, Body Size
  • Lead Groups, Pick Up Location, etc.
  • Specific Vision Data outputs for Fuji SMD3 and Siemens SIPLACE
  • Generic Vision ASCII files for other suppliers

Offline Inspection & 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. Overlay CAD and/or Gerber data and compare:

  • Loaded Boards
  • Bare Boards
  • Stencils
  • Components
  • Wet Glue / Solder Paste/ Epoxy

First Article Inspection

ScanPLACE increases productivity with the ability to scan the first article and compare it to the Centroid data.
