We use simply Makeblock structure parts to build the base stand. The combination of step motor, gear and automatic cutting apparatus make it possible to drive the SMT reel, count and cut automatically.

Set the amount of different components for counting, e.g. 1~n.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">3. The stepper motor starts\/stops smoothly, avoiding damages to the components\/reels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">4. Accuracy in counting, zero tolerance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">5. Automatically cut the reel when reaching the preset amount of components.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">6. Adjustable conveyor width, making it applicable to SMT reels of different widths. (This device is applicable to width between 8~16mm.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This video shows you how this SMT component counter works.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fojw0XrSwEI\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Have you built any projects to solve problems or add fun to your life?
