In a past life I ran F1 systems post placement / pre reflow behind a MyData My12E, so it didn't exactly have to keep up with a speedy chip shooter, but it did pretty well. The AOI would end up being the bottle neck some of the time, but not because

Tony, I'm in Ken's corner.....the speeds the manufacturers offer are pretty much meaningless when it comes down to your particular board. Brand X can say they will do 1,000,000 cph but when you put your board on the machine with multiple parts at di

Hi, Does anyone know the aprox. parts per hour a cp3 and ip2 should place assuming the program is optimized and everything else goes well (yeah right!)? I understand there are a lot of factors involved to get the correct numbers but what is the BEST

Thanks for all the input everyone..... At least I have a starting point and have something to compare my actual numbers with. It seems to me the most important thing to worry about is feeders and writing the program correctly. I have spent most of my

The "BEST" thsat they could do is what is in the manual. BUT we all know that no-one that I know of designs boards with only 0805 on .100" centers with one component. CP 3 should give you on average maybe 10k per hour. IP 2 I really don't know sin

Hey Tony Although clearly everyone so far on this forum agrees that there is no real number in real life and virtual life is well....useless. The reality is that what you are really after is maximizing uptime, meaning, look closely at every event t

If you are talking actual placement rate- from first fiducial read of board no. 1 to first fiducial read of board no. 2, here is the best I've ever seen based on the boards I've run: CP3- 141 seconds for 468 components per board (all rectangular chi

Dear all, Our company is using middle speed pick and place machines for LCD TV power boards and am considering to use high speed pick and place machines. Are there any methods to evaluate the profitability of implementing high speed ones? Thanks,

Take a look at the ROI tools supplied my MyData and others and draw inspiration from there. Presumably if you are looking at a higher speed line you are looking at higher throughput than you currently achieve or possibly fewer/shorter shifts? The eco

Whenever your line doesn't cover your requirements and you can't build your boards in schedule, it is time to go to higher throughput machines. Of course you should have some contracts for the next year or two that will cover your line. You should kn
