2000 Pro is a component inventory management system, consisting of a motorized surface mount parts counter, barcode reader and label laser printer. Is said to provide nearly immediate readouts or printouts. May detect shortages by scanning barcode on the reel, verifying the count, then printing a new barcode identity label with the current quantity, date and time. Reportedly will process a 7"or 13" reel containing 5,000 taped parts with pitches of 0.002" to 0.032" in approximately 90 sec.
