Hello everyone, Last year, our company ventured into the SMT arena to manufacture PCBs in-house for our products. We've been utilizing two Neoden 10 pick-and-place machines in series. However, as we grow, we've encountered some limitations with our

| We are currently looking into purchasing a high volume, medium mix production line. We are considering several different vendors and I would like to know if current users of Siemens equipment are happy. Are the machines maintenance intensive? Ho

If I understand customer's intention correctly, it would be fastest, mass production with fully utilizing the Pick-N-Place machine capacity with minimum manual labor which won't break the bank. They used to manual hand soldering the coil to the boar

You're welcome John, it can get confusing but what's important is that machine's exhibit accuracy AND repeatability. Generally, high Cp values represent high repeatability (for instance in darts: hitting a triple 20 over and over means you're very re

I've always hated using machine specs....they're always best case scenarios, and nearly never capture actual through-put rates. Personally, I don't like using first-piece rates, either...unless you're looking for worst case scenarios. Usually, the

In my experience Through Hole equipment normally racks up the downtime due to the amount of process variables. For SMT you would normally try to capture your workhorse machines Utilization. For example a chipshooter inline with glue dispenser,screen

Just a comment, we have been using the OEE as metric in our plant, what I've seen is that can be misunderstood because a good OEE level does not mean a good machine utilization, let me try to explain this on my own words. I have a HMLV line, so when
