We're looking at buying some new hand insertion slide lines here, and I was curious if anyone had any suggestions. Of course cost and footprint size are important. What we have now are mostly home made and we're looking to improve. We do a medium

Dave is correct that AEGIS has a line balancing module to its CAM software called CircuitCAM if that is something you are looking into, however, the number Dave gave is a few years outdated. The new number is 215-773-3571. Or visit our website at h

First thing, I wouldn't buy new. There's tons of this stuff out there, the problem is finding the used stuff. One place to look is the SMTnet used equipment sales watteverzits called. Roland knows the name. Most work bench suppliers [eg, Arlink,

Where can I find information on how to setup a prewave slide line and automated tools to calculate the workload balance? Regards

Can anyone help me out. I'm trying to find a MTM Standard Booklet to get a recommended number of parts that one operator should populate at one time. During the slide line operation thanks

One per operator is the optimum for obvious. 3 to 4 per operator is more typical. The number is not as important as the type and time. Like don't have someone handle 2 different TO92 part nrs., splitting them up to different operators eliminates the

the information on "slide lines" in this forum sounds fine, but if you have to stuff 10 boards with 100 or more components a slide line is not very practical. We therefore have 1 worker do the whole board. I assume that others face the same task. Wh

Hi Adam...thanks for your follow up comments. The auto inserter in the video is a machine from a time gone by...But quite impressive. Those machines are good for higher volume where high flexibility may not be required. not sure if all of the comp

MTM. Wow, people still do that huh? The problem I have with MTM, it assumes everyone performs things in robotic type motions. The best time study is one that relies on sound statistical methods, and across multiple operators. MTM, however, is gre

Hi Adam, So with two to three people on the slide line, each only able to place five different components maximum, this means you generally don't exceed 10-15 through hole parts per assembly, correct? I am guessing these are mixed technology boards
