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

Although I am certainly no expert here I have seen a very fine looking piece of machinery for selective soldering. Although it too has a small fountain it is fully programmable and relatively fast. It is the Seho MWM3250. Check it out, it will be wor

Per our selective solder provider, they recommend a PSA type generator to supply the needed 99.999% pure N2. The membrane type (which we have) does not provide the minimum (99.995%) purity necessary for lead free wave soldering. They happen to sell P

What are the continuing costs on the N2 generator? Is there replaceable media that needs to be monitored/replaced at regular intervals to maintain N2 generation? We're currently using tank-supplied N2, but are just getting ready to fire up our sele

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

Liquid is significantly cheaper than compressed gas tanks if you are in continuous production. Of course, it will eat your lunch if you're running things for a few days, then the machine sits idle for two weeks. It boils off whether you use it or n

Pascal, Have a look at this Web site:- http://www.solbraze.ltd.uk e-mail = info@solbraze.ltd.uk I think you may find a suitable alternative here. You have a nice Christmas also. Regards, Chris May.
