SS-SMDC SMD Material Counter by Southern Machinery
Manually counting tape-and-reel components is a time sink that hides inventory errors. The SS-SMDC photoelectric counter changes that with fast, zero-error counting.
What is this machine used for?
The SS-SMDC is a material-management counter, not an inspection machine. It uses photoelectric sensing to read the guiding holes on the tape, letting you count components without unrolling them by hand.
- Counts resistors, beads, capacitors, diodes, and IC chips
- Handles tape pitches from 2 to 56 mm
- Two feed modes: tape feed with set quantity and auto stop, or full-tray counting
- Forward and reverse counting with anti-slip design

Where the SS-SMDC fits in a complete PCB assembly line
- Receiving — count reels before smart rack storage
- Warehouse — reconcile quantities with inventory systems
- Line-side kitting — confirm counts before pick-and-place
- Return counting — verify partial reels before putting them back in stock
Key selection parameters for buyers
- Component types and tape pitch (2-56 mm)
- Throughput: average 18 seconds per tray
- Leakage test option available on 802E/802/802SJ/882IH
ROI perspective
Manual counting burns hours every week and corrupts inventory data, which can stop production lines. One SS-SMDC replaces that with 18-second tray counts and zero error. We provide ROI modeling on a case-by-case basis.

FAQ
What components can the SS-SMDC count?
Resistors, beads, capacitors, diodes, and IC chips on tape-and-reel, with pitches from 2 to 56 mm.
How does it count without X-ray?
Photoelectric sensing reads the guiding holes on the tape — no X-ray needed, and no counting error.
What feeding modes are available?
Tape feed with set quantity and auto stop, plus tray feed for full trays.
Does it integrate with inventory systems?
Yes — computer link, barcode scanning, and printing are standard options.
What power supply does it need?
110 V or 220 V, with a 30 W or 80 W motor depending on the model.
