Apart from recommending a placement machine since I don�t know you product, part mix or tact time; I would just like to point out a few other things to consider when choosing a different placement machine. Feeders are a big thing. Mydatas are good

When looking at surface mount equipment you also have to remember your line pull process. Wil you issue reel of parts or just strips? Most of the bigger machine cannot take strips of parts. What about your set-up? Will you have a dedicated top an

You had mentioned that your volumes will be low? How about the mix? will you be changing over to different products a lot? How many different products will you be running? Will feeder setups be done by the operators or will you have a another departm

How are companies handling lot tracking of parts, down to the serial number of the PCBA on which each component is being placed? We have customers who are needing information on Mfg. Lot numbers on mission critical product in the event of Manufact

An ICT solution seems to be overkill for what you've described. What kind of volumes are you hand building? How many components are not marked? What is your current yield with the process you are using? What is/was your yield prior to implementing m

In regards to baking an assembly prior to hot air (BGA) rework.... 1) Do people always bake, sometimes or never? Does this depend on whether MS sensitive components are near the rework site? If a BGA is to be removed and reballed, baking is a no-br
