Hi Rob, Thanks for the reply. Our boards are 4 ~ 6 ups and mostly double sided. The ratio between chips and IC/Odd shape varied from products to products. So, line balancing between chipmounter and GSM is tough to do. Some boards are mirror image to

Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum. I have posted a similar question on this subject (Chipmounter Plancement Speed). Does the 60% inclusive of the PM and Downtime ? I also find that line balancing also plays a part. For example the Universal GSM II

Hi Peter, We're typically seeing 60% on the average subcontract job, but on high volume, high density & well laid out boards we are seeing up to 95% on our chipshooters. The things that usually kill the speed for us are: multiple circuit panels (3

Hi Peter, You certainly have a selection of kit. We use 2 CP6's & 2 GSMs per line, and that balances pretty well (sometimes one of the fuji's is idle though - but we can live with that). When we had S20's we found 2 of them roughly kept up with a

Can anyone tell me what a reasonable real world percentage would be for tact time on SMT machines. If I have a machine rated at 14,400CPH what would be real world, 85%, 75%? Thanks

Peter- If you have all of these machines in your factory, why are you asking what their throughput and tact time speeds are? You should know better than anyone.

I've done a few capacity and capability studies and bought new SMT equipment (Pick and Place) based on the above required capacity. I did not rely on equipment manufacturer's tact time. I used only 60% of their tact time as achievable in real manufac

I think realistically any speed quoted by any manufacturer should be down graded to 80% of what they quote. This should be used as top end, then the component, feeder count and complexity will start digging into this. As for achieving 75% of book spe

Hi Peter, I've got to admit we cheated by adding another GSM per line, but that's not always the most economical option. Cheers, Rob.

Hi Fastek, Why am I asking ? Cost pressure ! Down 10~15% every year to remain competitive. Need to do differently for better $ per unit. Hi Rob, Thanks for your candid advice. Kind Regards, Peter
