| I would like to hear from anyone producing high mix (~200 modules) with low volumes (5-2000 per year) using an automatic line running lot sizes in the 5-50 range. We are engaged in an investigation to invest in this capability. A view into the or

We're a U.S.-based small-medium sized CM and have a relatively high-mix of boards. We want to start a new machine platform starting from lower-end (slower) and later to higher-end (mass production) machines of the same brand (programs). Other than

We're in the process of trying to select a rebuilt, refurbished, or well serviced flexible placer, something that's capable of placing in the neighborhood of 10k and up. We're a high mix low volume shop so easy setups is key. I'd be looking at a MY-9

I have done some revision work on the UFOS format. But in my research I found that the format has a bit of variation in it on my old YM6021 the component field has 6 digits and the later YM series it has 8, also does the designator comment crash your

What pick and place machine? Depends where you are. If in the UK or Europe and on a tight budget I would go for an old Philips/Assembleon Topaz, but only because I know the machines and where to buy them cheap, good freelance engineers and a good lo

It's been awhile but yes, if you do not allow the machine to optimize your program and your placing sequence is such that the tallest component is perhaps the 1st or last placement so it doesn't bump into other components, next is you may look into a

Hi Folks, Starting a second SMT line this year and it's been (too) long since I have looked at newish machines and I am in need of some assistance with P&P machine selection. Here is what we currently have: Panasonic CM-202 chip shooter 216 8mm reel

Ari, I would suggest you make a checklist of all your requirements (not just large scale production) and prioritize them with weights assigned to each. Fill in the checklist for each equipment and manufacturer and you'll have the results out. I wou

The Fuji flexible model is the XP, (Stay away from the QP!) but (as a previous poster mentioned) I'm used to the Bomb proof Chipshooters. They still make these and from memory I think they are around $350,000 each. They will place BGA's and reasona
