Reel-to-Reel

Reel-to-Reel Option

Automated Component Authenticity Inspection

The reel to reel module can be added to any Glenbrook system. This includes the GTI-4000 image processing software. The system will automatically inspect each component on the reel and compare to your know good part. It will check for consistency in lead frames, die size and wire bonds. Any part outside the tolerance will be identified and all images will be saved.

Counterfeit Components

The ever increasing problem of counterfeit components has resulted in problems for thousands of component distributors in controlling the quality of the product. While some problems are detected more easily using visual inspection, there are many issues where only x-ray inspection is more effective.

When would component x-ray inspection be more effective?

This would include checking for the presence of die, cracks in the epoxy, checking wire bonds and product or manufacturing markings that are x-ray detectable.

Since the components generally arrive in reels, trays, tubes and bags, x-ray inspection is ideal since the parts do not need to be removed from packaging. You can x-ray directly through the antistatic bags preserving the quality of the part.

Glenbrook Technologies has affordable, high-resolution x-ray systems that can be used for these requirements.

Now your customer can have the security of knowing that their component distributor is using the necessary quality control procedures to ensure they are getting the actual parts and not counterfeit components.
