So let's see, Cost of Ownership = [[Equipment cost + Setup]+[Operating costs]] / [Yield*Throughput*Utilization], where 'Operating costs' include: chemicals, water, electricity, DI tanks, filters, recycling costs, etc.

All of your maintenance costs, grease, filters etc. on a scheduled basis.

Danny: Beyond the US$40k that you mention for the machine, how much money should be budgeted for: * Facilities cost for spray room contruction, venting / filtration, fire proofing, etc? * Operating costs, such as training, maintenance, operation, et

Tools, installation rigging, and training.

What are the non-recurring operating costs of running this machine? How long does it take to program a rework operation, assuming you have CircuitCAM or something like that?

Hello Everyone, I am wondering what you are paying for Nitrogen (N2) in for your re-flow or wave, in $ per m3/hr. Please get back to me so I can determine some long term operational costs. Best regards, Gary Z.

We use a SAWA to clean our stencils and it performs quite well on solder paste but not so great with epoxy. Operators find the machine very easy to use and like mentioned before it takes up minimal space and has a lower intial and operating cost.

The boards are expensive because they are your product... covered in circuitry. A 2% scrap rate costs twice as much as a 1% scrap rate. Say the parts on your consumer electronics board cost $5. A machine that makes 99% good boards and 1% bad boards

The company I work for is installing a SMT prototype line, and I've been asked to determine the cost of operation. I know there will be cost for solder, solder paste, flux, stencils, glue, nitrogen, ect... I just want to make sure I'm not missing any
