It sounds like you are getting CPH numbers without taking into acount Machine utilization and efficiency. By doing that you can overlook what the real problems are. First find your utilization numbers... available machine run time with respect to th

Hi jax Have checked actual assemby time against machine up time and have a figure of 5440cph which seems to be ok from what others are saying. Its just the utilization that i need to sort but this is difficult with the resources/restrictions that i

Thank you very much. I swapped the component length and width measurements in Autoprogram and it now places the SOT23's with image verification no problem. As for the 0402's I am still working on this. Pick and place is very new to me, well I start

We had 6's, 6-4000's, 6E's, & 6E-4000's. They we all the same to program, but from memory: the 4000's could handle larger boards (356x457mm?) & the E's had the Back/front key switch on the side of the monitor block, whereas the straight 6 had it on
