The Barcode Validation System provides a reliable, efficient means of verifying component setup prior to the start of a
production run 

In an increasing number of circuit board applications, it is important to verify component and feeder
set up prior the start of a production run due to the high cost of post process board repair and
unacceptability of board failure.  It is therfore critical to make sure that the correct components will be
placed before production begins. 

The Barcode Validation System provides the ability to verify that the correct component is in the
correct feeder lane position for a given product, prior to the start of the production run.
Using the Barcode Validation System, feeders are set up and prepared for production off line.  When
the time comes to use these feeders in production, they are mounted to the machine.  At the start of the
production run, the Barode Validation System verifies that each one of these feeders, and their respective
components, has been placed in the correct location before allowing the production sequence to begin. 

FEATURES & BENEFITS 

Component validation process begins with off-line feeder set up, eliminating the need
to check each feeder as it is loaded onto the machine. 

Board production cannot begin until feeder configuration is verified, eliminating the
occurrence of placing the wrong components. 

System can be used with both tape and bulk style feeders, expanding flexibility with
alternative packaging methods. 

Relevant checking and process information is logged for easy report generation and
traceability. 

Barcode Validation System – Features 

The operation of the Barcode Validation System is based on the interaction between the machine’s
internal control system, “smart” component feeders, an off-line bar code scanning system and barcode
labels presented on component reels during feeder set up (see diagram).

Each feeder used in the system is fitted with an electronic  memory tag that is capable of storing data
relevant to the component that is mounted on the feeder.

During the feeder set up operation, typically performed off-line, a feeder is loaded with a reel of
components and placed in a holding fixture.  Next, the barcode(s) on the component reel is scanned
using a hand-held barcode scanner.  Simultaneously, the scanned information is “written”to the
feeder’s memory tag.  All information collected during this process is logged by the BVS system.

Once all feeders for a particular product are set up and ready for production use, they are mounted on
the machine in feeder slots coinciding with the pattern program. 

As the placement sequence begins, the memory tags of all feeders used to build the particular product
are read by the machine’s read/write antennas.  The system then compares this information to the
pattern program data to verify that all relevant components have been loaded into the correct feeder
slots pertaining to the product about to be built.

Once the component configuration has been verified, production begins.

The warranty does not apply to:

1. Consumable parts as they are defined in this document.

or

2. Defects or failures as a result of non-compliance with U Southern Machinery’s installation specifications.

or

3. The customer’s failure to perform the recommended normal maintenance, set up and the adjustment of the equipment.

or

4. The customer’s alteration / modification to the equipment without Southern Machinery’s prior written approval.

or

5. Damages to the equipment resulting from non-compliance with published operating procedures.

or

6. The use of replacement parts not supplied by Southern Machinery or Southern Machinery’s approved suppliers.

Definition of Consumable Parts (Non Warranty):

A) Machine parts that come in direct contact with component processing.

Examples are, but are not limited to, insertion head tooling, chain clips, lead cutter tooling, etc.

B) Maintenance/bulk items.

Examples are, but are not limited to, lubricants, adhesives, light bulbs, fuses, seals, o-rings, etc.

All other machine parts are warranted for 12 months from the machine in-service date, completion of installation.

Disclaimer Statement:  

The life expectancy of consumable tooling is dependent on proper preventive maintenance, proper machine set-up, and the type of component used by the customer.  A customer may experience greater life expectancy or less life expectancy depending on the above.

Provide you with LED SMT whole line solution.

For cost-saving or technical reasons (such as improved assembly), multiple circuit boards may be combined to form one large board, a “panel”. This panel is then produced just as a single large circuit board. Consult with us to design the distance of LED chips is same as the spindle distance of placement head.

1. As we consider that many customers products don’t have so many kinds of components in a board .

2. For example ,though in a board ,there are about 20 kinds of different components,but the size of many components are nearly . Sometimes just need about 3-4 kinds of nozzles is ok.

3. Besides, our S-EF30000 have 8 spindles, can install 8 kinds of different nozzles at a time,has mostly satisfied customers’ requirements of production , but also save machine’s cost for them .

4. As per your production ,if no need to install so many kinds of nozzles at a time and  change the nozzles automatically frequency , if we add a alternate pick up nozzle tray on our machine ,won’t it add your cost of the machine?

5. We won’t suggest you to buy our most expensive and with too many functions machine to increase your cost if your production no need. 

1)Visual registration system 

(2) Laser detection registration system .

Both have different characteristics, so there are differences in the use.

Comparison:

Laser detection registration system:

Laser counterpoint to allow flight correction, capable of handling all shapes and sizes of components, and can accurately determine element position and direction, but, even more complex laser systems cannot measure the pin and pin spacing.

Visual registration system :

The visual system is able to judge the position and orientation of components and can  measure lead and lead spacing at the same time .In addition, the visual system does not need to adjust the system will be able to adapt to the update components encapsulation, thus has better flexibility.
