Clarissa Even with a sound support team, buying used equipment is always risky. Some things to consider 1) Call the manufacturer, and make sure they still support the equipment, Parts and Technical. 2) Look at the machines with somebody who knows t

We usually program the components in the component database with pin 1 in the lower left corner. Then in the feeder database we set the component orientaion to 270 deg for Tray feeders(turn the tray in the feeder 180 deg) and "tube" feeders. For tape

Two reasons company B is asking $40 instead of $15-$20; 1. The set-up of their placement equipment takes time, thus the extra labor. Parts may be hard to get or what they norm keep in stock, plus storage of parts. 2. They know they can get awa

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 Folks, I'm working on a LED display that is composed of multiple layers. What is interesting for the point of this discussion is the PCB layer and the light deflector layer on top of it. Please take a look at the related pictures at http://plus

It will be tough to get a good line for that cost. You might want to start by looking at Mydata and Juki for the machines. Ekra for the screen printer and Heller for the oven is where you might want to start. If you have not already you might want

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

Clarissa, Buying used equipment should not be risky if you do your homework. As M COX said, you should find out if the manufacturer still supports the machinery but don't take everything they tell you as gospel. Remember, they want to sell you a new

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
