The problem about covering it with glue (without using solder) is that the components might dislodge by a miniscule amount underneath the glue. So maybe the contact points will disconnect. I'm not sure if this will be a real problem, but if so it wo

@Alexei Shkolnik Ah, I hope this doesn't become a problem. But if it does perhaps we can redesign the whole system? Push the components with a pusher that's connected from above rather than pulled by a magnet below. Perhaps the pusher can still clim

We currently have Yamaha/Assembleon Opal with heller 1800. I think we can start with just a printer and PnP. I am open to a refurb printer but would like to get a new PnP. I understand it costs a minifortune but working out bugs and lack of maintenan

I have a customer who ask close to prototyping jobs with low volume and high-mix components. A regular job have around 5-30 pieces board but have high quantity and many type of components. All the time over 1000 pieces of parts on board from 250-350

Assuming you want to run 8 hours a day and 5 days a week, you need a sustained throughput of 2.5k components per hour. With fine pitch, futzing around, setup, etc you should really look for machines rated in the 4k to 5k per hour range. That's not sc

200 unique components across an entire range is nothing, Were we all so lucky we would all leave the inventory permanently loaded on the line. The Manncorp machines are probably your cheapest solution new. These chinese machines with western input

1 - Too messy, parts already come in nice easy to use machine compatible packaging, tapes, reels, tubes and trays. All you are doing is adding an extra step and complication. A key production aim is to reduce the number of steps. 2 - BGA - a chip wi

Hi, You don't need X-ray and all that crap. I would get an old MYDATA TP9 or something like that, and a manual stencil printer and a batch oven or a small inline oven. Should do the trick and be very low cost. Should be simple to use as well. Tha

Hi there, I've been happy with the iiNeo and iiNeo+ from Europlacer, both have the capacity of 8*33 8mm feeders (264 slots in total). It can build boards up to 505*360 mm (our biggest PCBA, maybe it can do bigger one too). 6 and 12 monthly services

I'm very sorry I did not see this reply earlier. It's been almost a month and I hope you get to read this! I really like your idea of a *personal* electronic circuit factory. You should try getting schools to buy it, because students will love the o
