Simplify. FInd your botle-neck process (use a stop watch). You assume it is a P&P machine...(it could also be print or glue etc.) Your only concern is that bottle neck process and how many parts / hour that process can deliver. That is your gatin

Hi, I don't know anyone who uses Mancorp, and apart from this forum have never heard of them. I guess the big problem I faced when getting into SMT is trying to find a machine that could do what we wanted at a good cost. I originally purchased MYD

If you had a blank check, what would the ideal/dream SMT line look like? I would like to get an idea of what are the best equipment models out there. I have not been able to go to APEX and I am not sure what new stuff is out there. Basic configur

So far, So good! We are currently standardizing the Lightning Head Advantis as our chip-shooter. We only place chip packages, 0201-1206 with the Lightning Head and everything runs great. We performed qualification testing with components up to 20mm

I would like to enter the discussion by tossing some numbers in. First of all I don�t like the 3 Sigma value. 3 Sigma are 2000 defects per mio. if I remember correctly. This means, if you have 200 components on the board, then every 10 boards have on

I currently am doing it. Keep in mind the parts are split up, such that, the chips are on one machine and the IC's and odd parts are on the second. It takes much more time to place IC's and odd parts because they need to be handled slower and often c

When the are up and running they are hard to beat, but when they go down they go down hard. Keep field service close. Don't get me wrong they're great machines and the company I used to work for had some of the first machines available. I come fro

I Kyung: I'm not sure if we are working with PIHR but we insert some pines in a PCB with a pin inserter machine, after that we run this pcb in a screen printer and put over its solder paste, and then run in a chip shooter and then IC placer and f

If your pads are raised as you mentioned, you will reach just the tip of your tiny glue dot, which may not hold the part in place. However, you should be using two glue dots on each side of your 0402 component. See under adherence force in paste a

I would definitely check the amount of adhesive/paste that you are putting on the board. It may not be enough for any moving table application. If you think you are OK there, lets go on. As you probably are aware, the HSP tact times can be independan
