Daan has made a valid point with regards to expertise and use of a machine. Yet I recognize that with advanced technology, trades must occur. A hghly sophisticated AOI unit can and will help reduce overall cost of production. Therefore, a need to ha

Start with a definition of what you expect the AOI to achieve at each station. Will your in-line machine be post print? Place (pre-reflow) or post reflow? Rather than buy one very expensive machine to put at the end of the line, maybe a couple of

Hi JVO, I just learned about a system from a company called CR technology... (there's still more I need to find out). But supposedly, they make a machine called the CRX2000 that is both a real-time xray and AOI machine all rolled into one. Wh

Hi everyone, First post here. I am completely new to smt as well. We are a small startup and would like improve our in-house smt assembly capability from manual assembly. We are looking at small production runs, initially about a total of 200 board

I like what you're doing. 20 years ago anyone, hobbyists and tiny garage-shop companies could create electronics devices just as sophisticated and cool as big corporations. Today, SMT has largely trashed the creativity (and competition) that existe

Is there a cost analysis? How can a small business (4 employees) compare small lot sizes with companies who have auto insert. machines?

Also company B may have far higher overheads to support - sales guys, directors, accountants etc. They may also be set up for longer runs so as Ms Chunks previously mentions, the set up & teardowns would also incur the opportunity cost of not being

Hi Phil, It all depends on your product. You say small lot sizes, but are your board 20 by 20 inches in size with 5K parts both top and bottom? If so then even building 3 of these could take you days to build. Then take you weeks to trouble shoot
