Hello. I am sourcing machines for an SMT line (for the first time) and would like to understand features of current and earlier model SPI and AOI machines. In the intended application, a high volume of PCAs aren't required to be processed but there

| Earl, | As always, I am interested in what you have to say, but I am still a little vague on your application of ANSI Y14.5 as it relates to the manufacturability of an assembled printed circuit board. Are you implying that component placement coor

Graham STOP!!! You can not be totally serious. A five year old cost model counts bean, and beans are beans. I have to know more about the calculation. If this bores some of your gear-heads, click on "return." � Help me with the terms: - "Ops cos

It is evident that the SMT process affects the results at testing, hence I thought this was relevant to this forum. An alternative to the NEMI (National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative) PCB test cost model (see http://www.nemi.org/newsroom/PR/2

I also have a spreadsheet tool for comparative analysis using criterion weighted scoring. It can be used to analyze any decision, and helps groups reach consensus on why a particular alternative is the way to go. As final steps you can also consider

I commend you for doing your diligence. It sounds like you have a solid plan, and a few decisions to make. I have used Assembleon machines before, a Topaz X and a Emerald X. They seem to be a good compromise between speed and cost. If you are close

Dave You are so right about that point. I still use some cost models we ran up some 5 years ago. I took one to a customer and showed them that they could make $400K more PROFIT PER YEAR running OA v No-Clean. Their response? Well, we don't believe

Jim, In most cases if you can eliminate a process you will save money. With that in mind, an all surface mount or all through hole design is prefered. There are alternatives to that rule, like hybrid designs that can be pin and paste soldered. It al
