Smaller companies many want to rent a machine, but may not necessarily use it 24/7, and a smaller machine may require less expertise to use. If many small machine can work fast enough, it can operate for less time and reduce operating costs. (I'm mo

We had a Tim at Daycounter engineering ask about nozzle styles for placement machines they intended to build. I do not know if they have brought anything to completion yet. Here is his contact info if anyone wants to inquire: Tim Daycounter Engineeri

Not to squash anybody's ingenuity, but most of the problems that you're trying to solve have been solved, and fine tuned, over the last 30 years of SMT. (Surface Mount Technology) I'm all for reinventing the wheel, but I suggest taking some time to

hmm... the picture of the funnel didn't display very well because it's double spaced. Just out of curiosity I have to ask, does anyone even understand what I wrote? Does anyone know where on the internet I should actually post something like this?

Thanks for the info because I honestly have no darn clue about the whole industry. Does anyone know why it is expensive to have an operator? If it has conveyors can't it operate on its own? Why are the boards expensive? Why wouldn't any rigid piece

The problem about covering it with glue (without using solder) is that the components might dislodge by a miniscule amount underneath the glue. So maybe the contact points will disconnect. I'm not sure if this will be a real problem, but if so it wo

@Alexei Shkolnik Ah, I hope this doesn't become a problem. But if it does perhaps we can redesign the whole system? Push the components with a pusher that's connected from above rather than pulled by a magnet below. Perhaps the pusher can still clim

The boards are expensive because they are your product... covered in circuitry. A 2% scrap rate costs twice as much as a 1% scrap rate. Say the parts on your consumer electronics board cost $5. A machine that makes 99% good boards and 1% bad boards

I'm very sorry I did not see this reply earlier. It's been almost a month and I hope you get to read this! I really like your idea of a *personal* electronic circuit factory. You should try getting schools to buy it, because students will love the o

1 - Too messy, parts already come in nice easy to use machine compatible packaging, tapes, reels, tubes and trays. All you are doing is adding an extra step and complication. A key production aim is to reduce the number of steps. 2 - BGA - a chip wi
