Chip Reel Verification System (preventing reel mix-ups)

This system verifies chip reels at SMT loading with a handheld terminal — preventing the wrong reel from being mounted and causing line-stop defects.

Benefits

Reel mix-up elimination

Each reel is verified against the program before being mounted.

Fewer line stops

Avoids defect-driven line stoppages caused by wrong reels.

Higher quality

Prevents the mount of components that should not be on the board.

Operator independence

Reduces dependence on operator skill for verification.
