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

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.

Scan a component to automatically calculate and register information such as Lead Pitch, Lead Size, Body Size, Lead Groups and Pick Up Location.

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

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.
