my two cents is double sided lines aren't worth the trouble if you are low volume/high mix. As others have said, balancing this is a nightmare. There are tradeoffs, of course. You will build up WIP, and this is especially problematic if there are MSD

Does anyone have an idea of what a good placement rate (pph) is for a low volume, high mix smt line? We do small lots (10-300pcs), with a feeder count that ranges from 28 to 130 per setup. We have low volume machines (an old (real old) Siemens HS-180
