XC-3100

X-Ray Component Counter

The XC-3100 High Precision X-Ray Counting System is an automated X-ray inspection platform engineered to bring fast, accurate component counting into the SMT material control process, eliminating manual counting and its associated errors.

The XC-3100 is the smart solution for manufacturers still relying on manual or semi-automated counting of reel, tray, tube, bag, and loose-packed components, delivering high-speed, high-accuracy X-ray counting that converts a slow, error prone process into a stable, repeatable operation. Built around a premium, custom developed X-ray technology system, the XC-3100 brings automated counting to component formats long considered difficult to verify by eye cutting manpower needs, reducing stocktaking errors, and improving traceability from the very first scan.

The system is built around an 80kV (limited to 50kV) enclosed X-ray tube and a 17×17-inch dynamic flat panel detector, achieving counting speeds of 6–10 seconds per 4 reels on CHIP 0201 components, with an accuracy rate of up to 99.99% and a miscalculation rate of ≤0.01%. The X-Ray tube’s 40° radiation angle and copper casing deliver superior heat dissipation and radiation shielding, while the 1717XN detector’s direct-growth caesium iodide (CsI) scintillator and 100µm pixel size support imaging at up to 3072×3072 resolution with 139µm imaging precision – detecting parts as small as 01005.

What truly sets the XC-3100 apart is its versatility across component types and packaging formats. Tubular, reel-packaged, bagged, tray-packaged, and loose components are all supported, with single or multiple inventory counting selectable to suit your workflow. The multi-reel stage accommodates material reels up to 430mm (4–17 inch) diameter, 92mm height, and 10kg weight, while inductive printing material labelling and optional automatic QR code reading streamline data capture and virtually eliminate mislabelling.

Quality control is built into every scan. The system runs on Windows 11 with radiation safety tested to <1 µSv/h, and every count is logged with no capacity limit, exportable as TXT, CSV, or XLS. Repeatability testing at ≥2.0 sigma ensures consistent results scan after scan, and the built-in database supports quick query and printing for full material traceability.

For manufacturers still counting components by hand or with basic tools, the XC-3100 offers a faster, more accurate, and fully auditable alternative that pays for itself in reduced labour and fewer stock discrepancies.
