We will import these parts to our facility in Virginia, USA, to complete final assembly and to program and test all units before packaging. PCBs and SMT assembly will be handled by our friends at PCBWay, and 3D Printing of the resin component will be handled in cooperation with Wenext. Copy of Printed Instructions (COMING SOON)Īlthough GreatBigFactory is a short-run PCBA, we’re going to be partnering with overseas manufacturers to ensure we can meet demand.In the FieldĮver find yourself at a swap meet or surplus store browsing partial reels? With BeanCounter in your kit, you can determine whether or not that specified quantity-the one that’s been crossed out and re-written several times-is actually correct. Equip each member of your team with their own BeanCounter or use the lanyard hole to anchor them to inventory shelves so they don’t get lost. Spot check a partial reel before you start a build or pick a length of cut tape from a reel without dragging the whole thing to a tabletop reel counter. In the WarehouseĪ tape-and-reel counter that you can carry around the warehouse floor is a game changer for inventory management. Putting together kits for your online shop and need to cut a bunch of strips of resistors? Use Dispense Mode to count out your portions quickly. Keep BeanCounter at your bench to quickly count your cut-tape components. On the BenchĬounting your parts before a build can prevent frustration and wasted solder paste.
To help with this, we’ve added a "pause" button that you can use to freeze the count while pulling empty tape. Because it cannot differentiate between parts and empty pockets, you will need to ensure that it begins counting after empty tape has been pulled through and stops counting before it reaches the tail. Part pitch is configurable in either mode, so you can accurately count any part that physically fits through the counter.ĭigging a little deeper, what BeanCounter actually does is count feed holes and divide by the part pitch.
Pv beancounter full#
This feature is useful in kitting contexts where you may be cutting fixed quantities off the end of a full reel.
Inventory Mode - Using just one sensor, BeanCounter polls at its fastest rate, allowing you to count long tapes and partial reels very quickly.It will immediately begin counting your parts using one of two modes: To use BeanCounter, simply turn it on and start pulling tape through. It’s an affordable SMT tape counter without unnecessary bells and whistles. It works with any opaque, 8-mm-wide carrier tape up to 2 mm in height, which covers most 0805-or-smaller LEDs and passives, as well as SOT23 transistors. It’s battery powered and uses two IR photointerrupters to count parts about as fast as you can pull them through.

We couldn’t find anything that was both portable and simple to use, though, which is why we designed BeanCounter.īeanCounter is an SMT parts counter that fits in your pocket. There are plenty of existing methods for counting parts on tape, from the humble ruler-and-calculator technique to large, expensive, automated reel counters.
As the smallest standard size, 8 mm tape carries tiny, densely packed components that are difficult to count by hand. Whether you’re a hobbyist, a manufacturer, or a supplier, you probably handle 8 mm reels and cut tape all the time. Surface mount components on 8 mm carrier tape are among the most commonly used in electronics assembly today. You'll be notified about news and stock updates for this project.
