Manuel, How do you calculate the rate? Is it the cycle time for the bottleneck process on the line? Please advise. Thanks, Abhinav

Well, sample inspection should be saving some time already. What other fat are you trying to trim here? Where is your bottleneck?

Hello experts, We have a XPM3m reflow oven and for certain boards, the oven is the bottleneck. I am curious if someone knows how to increase the throughput by decreasing the distance between the boards in the oven. It has to be in the software somew

Be careful using charts like this to characterize the performance of a production line. The only part of the line that needs to be optimized is the bottleneck. Stencil printer probably.

JS: The issue is not how efficiently/effectively that you can run your placement machine, probably. The issue is how efficiently you can run that part of your assembly process that is the bottleneck. Other than improving quality, optimizing any pa

WARNING: This is a plug. I have read post on this site where the question is raised: "My machine can do 80 units per hour, but I am only getting 35 - WHY?" Well I have written w95/database code that reads FUJI output files (CPII,CPII,IP2 etc) and d

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

We have inline reworkers, so this time has been factored in. We currently use Siemens S25/20 machines with M1 systems. The placement machines run a little slower than the AOI at times so there is time to perform review, most of the time. It's not

Grandpa, You got it - Identifying the bottleneck operation is the key. The secret is to design a tool can predict accurately where this bottleneck is. In your formula you can use machine process time, PCB transportation time, part trim time, part in

Hi Daisy, I have worked with Viscom AOI before, I am in training with Omron now, but there were many times when this happened to me in the past. Recommended things to do: - Check for duplicated analysis - the AOI might spend time with taking pictur
