Volume dictates throughput required. High-Volume = Requires redundant processes, Two Lines. Mid-Volume = Dual Lane or Two Lines. Low-Volume = Single Line. So Mid-Volume is the only volume scenario that a case for dual lane could be made. Dual Lane :

Ray, I don't know for sure what exact data Ceeris used to come up with their figures. Did they account for shipping? Was the rework done by expensive equipment? When I read your thre

At least the few people left in this industry should make a stink, why all these jobs went to China and take efforts to get them back. If I take a typical line, which can do 20,000 components an hour, costs $ 200,000, a board with 50 different compon

If the batch cleaner is truly closed loop, then 100% of all of the process fluid (water) is captured, filtered (particulate, carbon, resin) and reused. This answer is based on a traditional closed-loop batch cleaning system with an integrated water

That is a tough question. I think that an important point must be made, and that is that the electronics assembly business is just that, a business. And, electronics asssembly companies are in business to make a profit. The profit, or "bottom line

Of course there are solvents which are less harmful to the environment than others. The operative phrase is �less harmful�. As a rule, water-based chemistries are �greener� than solvents. There are some solvent blends designed for aqueous-based eq

You're correct, uV costs 1.7X solvent-based silicone. This high purchased material cost is counter balanced by uV requiring lower thickness due to higher solids and that 60 to 80% of a solvent coating is volitile and goes up the pipe between applicat

Gimme a break I am rather disappointed with many of the comments here. Most appear to think that the OEM should supply what ever is needed and when ever it is needed and not charge for it or just do it cheap. Or you think they overcharge for it.

Chris, Have you considered Fuji? The robustness of Fuji is proven. I have recently done floor space analysis and cost per placement/sqr foot studies. I have also performed ROI studies on these machines. The new CP7 machine from Fuji outperforms th

Good morning. I am currently in the process of validating our quoting process in comparison to what our colleagues are doing. If anyone could let me know what is the average cost per component for their smt operations I would really appreciate it.
