Great advice!........Single tier feeder set-up carts are also available through Universal instruments directly for this exact purpose. Most people who really care about this changeover time have "pit-crews" that work in the component storage areas, o

Most PIck and place manufacturers have off line feeder set up available. Dedicating common feeder types to one side and having the other side available for job specific is also an option. *****note dedicating feeders can effect your throughput num

Has anyone looked at setup reduction for machine feeders. We have made some gains through changing the flow of work but as lot sizes decrease the number of parts required remains the same. We remove all reels from the feeders after a job is complet

Hi mike The solution is simple but two fold, first your process needs to be changed a bit, you need additional feeders to pre-stage the new P/N run and prestage the extra feeders for reload as certain higher volume components exhaust. The idea is t

also think of the space u can save by getting rid of the stencils and reduction in set-up time (no more stencil/blade cleening, just load the file)

Just a bullet! My results are, .005" stencil thickness should measure between .0055" - .006" if your pressure is correct, metal blades and snap-off is set up correctly. Do you have aperture reductions at the QFP locations "typicial industry standard

Wow, you have received a lot of suggestions and opinions. Here is one more for the record. First try to improve the performance of your sub-contractor. While you are doing that start bringing in low quantities of parts to develop your in-house cap

We have been using a hot air knife on Electrovert equipment for a few years. It must be set up properly for a given machine, primarily the distance from the trailing edge of the wave. Sometimes the set up must be adjusted for the assembly being sol

sin: You're correct, there is no defect reduction program that's perfect, in fact nothing is perfect!!!! That's why people talk about 6 sigma and not 20 sigma!!!! If you had a perfectly controlled process, you'd still have defects due to random va
