Scienscope IMS-100 Receiving Station – Component Management For SMT Production

The IMS-100 can read standard SMT and through-hole (TH) reels up to 15″ diameter, as well as cut strips, ESD bags, JEDEC trays, and reels between ~1-4″ or 7-inch reels (up to 4 at once in many cases).

It uses a high-resolution two-camera system (image-based algorithm) that reads barcodes and QR codes—even if labels are damaged or partially obscured—along with integrated OCR and optional top-side scanner for double-sided labels. This reduces mistakes from manual barcode scanning.

Yes. When a reel is removed, the IMS-100 automatically prints a unique identification number (UID) label, including time/date stamps. This supports full traceability of materials from receiving through to production.

The IMS-100 supports MES / ERP integration so that scanned data and label data can flow automatically into inventory or production systems. It includes software interfaces for automatic label printing with customizable attributes.

It can scan up to four 7-inch component reels simultaneously (or one larger reel like 13″ or 15″). Cycle times are fast due to simultaneous scanning and automated label generation.

• Dimensions (L × W × H): 1000 mm × 810 mm × 1530 mm (≈ 39.4″ × 31.9″ × 60.2″)
• Weight: approx. 194.6 kg (429 lbs)
• Power: AC 110-240V, ~ 600 W consumption.

• Optional top camera/scanner is available so double-sided labels may be scanned without manually flipping reels.
• The barcode-reading algorithm is designed to deal with damaged or partially obscured labels so that barcode errors are minimised.

Benefits:

• Faster incoming material processing and reduced manual data entry.
• Improved traceability (UID labelling, date/time stamp) and inventory control, helping avoid component expiry, shortages, or mis-labelling.
• Reduces operator workload and error, enabling materials to be received rapidly and accurately.
