SPI, AOI, X-ray and component counting: which PCB inspection method catches which defects, and how inspection machines fit into SMT and THT lines.
Manual counting and weighing reels cost EMS factories hours every week and quietly corrupt inventory data. Southern Machinery's SMD Components Counter uses X-ray imaging to count tape-and-reel SMD components in seconds with better than 99.8% system accuracy (AX6000). This buyer's guide covers what the machine is used for, five real applications in receiving, kitting, and warehouse control, how it fits a complete PCB assembly line, key selection parameters, and the ROI of accurate component counting. Established in 2011 in Shenzhen, China, Southern Machinery serves 237+ global customers with SMT, THT, wave soldering, and inspection automation.
