Is SMT line uptime measured from 24/7 or from actual working time if working time is less than 24/7?

Hi Zambri, I work for Philips EMT (supplier of SMT equipment) as technical consultant and application specialist. depending on what you want to know there are several ways to calculate machine utilisation. 1) Machine efficiancy. Available uptime

Mark, I guess while your machine sits idle, it could do boards. While the machine processes boards it breaks down by a certain percentage rate. I would multiply the placement rate with the idle time, multiplied by uptime divided by hundred. 10.000 (

Hi Brandon. You should always try to optimize / "balance" your line in a way so the machine with the shortest time per placement is your bottleneck. The other machines in the line should then have a 10 - 20 sec sorter cycle time, to be able to cope

I am interested in seeing how some of you calculate machine utilisation. Currently this was calculated off against the uptime. I really believe there is a better way of doing it i.e if I were to calculate this against machine's capacities. Any feedba

It sounds like your inspector improved quality and pre-staging your feeders dramaticaly increased uptime on your machine, thats great to hear. One cautiionary note, be careful not to flood your production area with parts off of your SMT line. With

Hi All, We are thinking about adding a SPEA 4040 flying probe tester to our facility to add some flexability to our test capabilities. Does anyone have experience they could share on these units? I would be most interested in programming and overa
