Due to the importance to outperform in the electronic industry more companies are improving their leverage on the material management, Smart factory and Industry 4.0 are basic elements in order to achieve such objectives, based on this demand VCcount launches the XRHCount Inline. As it is fully integrated into the manufacturing processes, the system is fully automatic and can count small components on various types of packages around the clock within ten seconds per cycle. The XRHCount Inline impresses due to the embedded high degree of automation. Loading and unloading is carried out by a conveyor belt, and the reel ID is automatically read and recorded by a scanner. Based on the concept of autonomous operation, and taking into account that all manual processes were eliminated, it runs without an operator – eliminating labour in the process. The conveyor belt running through the system, combined with smart automation, leads to the impressive fact that a reel is counted in less than 10 seconds. In addition, the system can count continuously, i.e., 24/7, thanks to the robust design developed and manufactured in Germany. The whole solution is adaptable to the customer application, and so is the investment. The scalable investment solution works for any business size, meaning that every customer can consider an XRHCount Inline. Whether as a stand-alone solution or a fully integrated inline system, the compact format of the XRHCount Inline means that every customer has suitable space for this solution (1100 x 740 x 2440 mm). The flexibility of the design also enables multiple line configurations for endless integration possibilities. The Hermes protocol is the standard implementation. Smema is offered optionally. Errors in the process flow are excluded thanks to the error proof concept of Poka-Yoke that is based on one-piece flow production. Side entrances equipped with locks and safety switches ensure the safety of material and people. The simple operation is complemented by an intuitive software with a user-friendly interface.
