How does BarTector know the scrap rate of each component reel?
The BarTector program keeps track of each reel in use on the machine. The number of parts on a reel decrements by one every time the machine strokes the feeder. This information is logged to the database every five minutes (or any time period specified by the user) or when the total stroke count on a placement machine reaches 2000 (or any stroke count specified by the user).
