WHAT IS ScanPRO?
ScanPRO is a fully integrated, stand-alone workstation designed to produce padmasters and drill files when CAD data is not readily available.

ScanPRO combines a Windows-based software package with a high-resolution flatbed scanner to generate Gerber data and drill files.

SCANNING
Need proper pad and/or drill data and only have the original hand-taped design? Mylar images? Diazo or silver film? Only have an existing PCB or technical drawings? Pad and/or drill data can be generated using each of these types of media!

AUTOMATIC PAD RECOGNITION
Use the automatic pad recognition functions to create Gerber and drilling data. These vectorization processes generate accurately and quickly the Gerber data required for drill files.

The Gerber files may also be utilized for stencil files, padmasters and test fixtures.

EDITING
Editing is performed in the Graphics Screen, a user-icon friendly editing environment. Use the "hot-keys" and menu-driven functions, to modify the drill file quickly and easily.

The multi-color display and multiple zoom levels allow selection of the most convenient editing environment.

SYSTEM FEATURES
    SCANNING
  • Bareboards, film, paper, stencils, screens, diazo or silver film

These check functions will verify layer-to-layer pad alignment, eliminate "double-hits," and identify minimum pad distances.


FILE CREATION
How easy is it to write out a pad or drill file? Use two key strokes! For Gerber data simply select Gerber 274 or 274x. For drill files, a comprehensive tool table will be generated as the drill file is written to disk; this table itemizes the X/Y dimensions of the drilled hole, the number of holes and the number of required tools.

Flexible front and/or back lighting along with color or B&W imaging allow for the inspection of many types of parts. Parts with holes or cutouts can be easily inspected with backlighting and B&W imaging. Any feature that has a slight color difference relative to it's background can be inspected using color imaging and powerful color separation algorithms.

A few of the potential inspection applications are:
  • Hole, slot and/or cut-out size, location, shape and orientation in a wide range of materials
  • Artwork/Phototool - pin holes, mouse bites, feature size and shape on mylar, diazo, glass, chrome, etc.
  • Printed Materials - missing, excess or incorrectly located screened or printed materials
  • Dispensed Materials - missing, excess or incorrectly located materials
  • Cleaned or Used Tooling or Parts - contamination, damage, wear, rework, etc.
  • Inbound Q/A
