Greg: You might look for : - smallest board size - largest board size - finest pitch you are able to handle (safe) - Parts/hour - units/hour (If you find your bottleneck it will be easy to determine) - number and kind of feeders, components per line

Sam, Cyber Optics inline paste measurement machine is probably the easiest to program, maintain, and operate but it does have some drawbacks in my opinion. It is slower than some other machines on the market. This might not be a problem unless

| I'm very new to the SMT process but I'm tasked to qualify a MPM Printer and a Panasert PnP m/c. The product consists of 6-10 different parts of a total of around 70. Please advice on the parameters for each m/c which I should focus on for optmizati

Machine feeder setup reduction

Electronics Forum | Tue Oct 09 12:04:37 EDT 2001 | Mike

Has anyone looked at setup reduction for machine feeders. We have made some gains through changing the flow of work but as lot sizes decrease the number of parts required remains the same. We remove all reels from the feeders after a job is complet

Laser Machine for Solder Paste Volume

I have worked w/ the GSI SVS 8200's. They seem to do a pretty decent job, but, they are a "bottleneck" on my lines. I hope you are using good screen printers, because they WILL find the slightest "defect". About 75% of our failures are actually fa

How long can you leave paste - update

Electronics Forum | Mon Apr 02 10:46:03 EDT 2007 | slthomas

Hand up here too. While most pastes have some flexibility and you may get by without too many problems, I don't think any of them are designed with long wait times in mind. What I'm confused about is what your operator is doing when boards ARE runni

SMT Production Performance Metrics

Electronics Forum | Wed Mar 03 19:30:37 EST 2010 | dcell_1t

Yes, it is basically: Rate = Time interval/Cycle time I put time interval since you can measure however you want (pc per hour, per day, per quarter hour... it is relative) the most used is Pc/Hour, so the time interval is 1 hour (3600 sec). Lets sa

If you are interested in LEAN type of software where you have realtime view on your bottlenecks so that your operators are actually focussed on more performance, than our LineSight system will provide this info (and more). This is a completely new sy

Pick and place machine for small productions. Any suggestions?

Electronics Forum | Fri Sep 20 00:22:41 EDT 2013 | jvadillo

Thanks for the comment regarding the CPH. In fact, the benchtop oven we have takes 7 minutes to complete a batch soldering, so you can imagine that our production volume will not be very high. We can parallelize PCB assembly and oven phase. But defi

When to implement high speed pick and place machines?

Electronics Forum | Tue Feb 04 21:07:16 EST 2014 | sarason

You should ask yourself a bunch of questions before you consider going down this path. The first being where are the bottlenecks in your existing line and is there anything you can do to eliminate or decrease there bottleneckness (made up word). I
