The PartScan PS7600 part selection and verification scanner from Scientific Technologies is specifically designed for monitoring bins in sequential assembly applications. Prominent indicator LEDs with multiple display modes help eliminate part selection errors. The low-profile design provides an integrated appearance, and a wide choice of brackets and protective shrouds meet specific application requirements.

The PS7600 is easy to install and use, and features a monitoring range of up to 3m.

Two frequencies help to eliminate crosstalk.

Users simply program a PLC to light the appropriate scanner indicators on the bin with the correct part for the next step in the assembly operation.

When the scanner is blocked by a hand entering the bin, the scanner energises its output to indicate that a part has been removed.

The PLC verifies that this is the proper bin and moves on to the next bin for part selection.

If a part was picked from the incorrect bin, the PLC can energise an alarm or indicator to signal the error.
