I agree with everybody here. There are plenty of better options than what you have proposed. Without knowing your equipment brand, or what type of offline software you have, if any, I have a few suggestions. 1) If you don't have any offline softwa

You should ask yourself a bunch of questions before you consider going down this path. The first being where are the bottlenecks in your existing line and is there anything you can do to eliminate or decrease there bottleneckness (made up word). I

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

You are looking for a complete SMT assembly line plus possible X-Ray inspection and rework equipment. The 3 components of the SMT line are stencil printer, pick-n-place machine and reflow oven. How small are your components? 0603? 0402? What is the

I am looking at buying a pick and place machine to assemble the circuit boards we make. Most of the boards are small (2 to 10 square inches), most are 2 sided, and have maybe 20-50 parts per side. I use mostly 0805/0603 chips, SOT-23, SOD-123, SOIC

Hi all! after hours of manual hand soldering and after spending thousands of euros subcontracting PCB assembly, we have decided to buy a fully automated pick&place machine. Our main assembly requirements are 0805/0603 for passives and TQFP-64

We have already one desktop oven and a manual stencil printer. And we have a quite complete soldering bench with several JBC tools. We also have stock for all active elements we use. We normally relay on the PCB assembler to provide the passive comp

My advice for what it is worth. Your description of the problem at first glance suggests a communication problem, now is it the bus, the SMT machine or the PC. The bus could have a short or an open. The PC could have a dud controller card. or so co

Hi, I don't know what you mean by really odd parts. Are they SMT parts that have a flat surface to pick them up? If so, probably several machines can do it. I know for sure Siemens can place almost anything. THey will help you with any type of nozzl

I used to work with S15/F3, was a 10 years ago. 1. Test your machine controllers and station controllers. Load the last program with actuell command. 2. You can check what happening in the SiPlace, switch the monitor to MC, let see all bootup perfec
