Are the jobs so small and the setup time so high that it precludes running them on two or three machines?

We have several selective soldering machines, that because of several minutes of process time per PCB, one operator can keep 2 or sometimes 3 machines loaded and running. Other days only 1 machine is running but operator does not have enough time to

For me it looks like a sales issue. Having more operators would probably not help them meet their metric. If you cannot meet or defeat a metric, switch metrics. (said tongue in cheek)

For me it looks like a scheduling issue. You can do time studies on your assemblies and predict the best workload, based on scheduling the jobs in the right sequence. Also it sounds like you have only one operator. Train more people to operate will h

Is the process the same for every product running through the selective solder machine? Load program, acquire or set up fixture, Change/load flux?, Change/Load solder pot? Are the machines cold when the operators need to use them or are the machin

All the response is appreciated. We have 4 SS machines and 2 operators (normally). Some jobs take up to 15 minutes (multiple boards), some take less than 2 minutes (machine time). Some involve fixtures, preheat, some may require the operator to mon

Is there anyone on here that is currently using a RPS Selective Solder Machine? Rhythm SS ?

What is the industry standard for wave and selective solder PPM defect rate for a world class facility, any responses are appreciated.

Trying to understand the impact of iron contamination above IPC recommendations (0.02%) on selective solder joints. Brittleness and discolouration are known but are there other factors that should be accounted for?
