Barcode readers for PCB and SMT traceability

Every board carries a code, and every station needs to read it before the board moves on. Electronics lines are where most of our readers work, and the two compact models there are the ReadCell VS95 and VS110R.

Where the reader goes

Typical read points on an SMT and assembly line.

01Board loading

Read the panel serial as the board enters the line.

02Between stations

Read again before each board flows on, so every step is logged to the serial.

03Solder paste

Read jars on a rotary table before the paste goes into the printer.

04Magazines and racks

Read boards going into and out of the magazine rack.

05Several readers, one station

Combine readers to cover more than one side or more than one code.
