The question new or used was discussed several times. If you start fresh and have no experience with one or the other machine vendor, I would get a new machine, whose supplier has a service tech in driving distance. If you select the used machine pa

I'm looking for some input on a pay scale for experienced SRT/DRS operators. They do not do any profiling or process work - only remove/site prep/replace type work, along with any 'special' jobs like trace repair, masking repair, etc. They're current

So the only difference between the "regular solderers" and the BGA people is trace repair? If that is it than you should put the pay in range with your PCB repair people. We do not pay any extra for BGA rework since all they do is wick pads (common

Good point tommy, I think we are confusing what we are talking about here. It was not asked if the operators should do inspection. It was asked if an operator should pass boards through a machine. The operator is not inspecting anything just as t

Smaller companies many want to rent a machine, but may not necessarily use it 24/7, and a smaller machine may require less expertise to use. If many small machine can work fast enough, it can operate for less time and reduce operating costs. (I'm mo

Thanks for the info because I honestly have no darn clue about the whole industry. Does anyone know why it is expensive to have an operator? If it has conveyors can't it operate on its own? Why are the boards expensive? Why wouldn't any rigid piece

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

@Comatose You answered all my question about the board and operator costs, and I'm getting a good idea of how the numbers look like.

Thanks for the comment regarding the CPH. In fact, the benchtop oven we have takes 7 minutes to complete a batch soldering, so you can imagine that our production volume will not be very high. We can parallelize PCB assembly and oven phase. But defi
