What key factors should be considered when configuring an SMT production line solution?

Production Line Configuration Flowchart

Customer Requirements and Production Line Design Description

1. Understanding component types: Select appropriate printer, pick and place machine, and corresponding inspection equipment based on component size (whether there are high-precision components such as 01005, 0201, BGA, and chips);

2. Understanding PCB dimensions: This is one of the key factors in evaluating the board loader machine, unloader machine, printer, pick and place machine, conveyor, reflow oven, and corresponding inspection equipment;

3. Production site: This is the main basis for SMT production line design.

4. Understanding transportation routes: This involves the necessary access routes for equipment to be transported into the production site, requiring detailed understanding and communication with the customer in advance;

5. Capacity analysis: Typically, when a pick and place machine is used as a general-purpose machine, the capacity is in the range of 40%-70% of the optimal speed. If more accurate capacity is required, the customer needs to provide corresponding documents for simulation testing;

6. Customer's budget range: This determines the level of the production line, and the ability to plan according to the customer's budget is necessary. 1. Prototyping/R&D Solutions: Semi-automatic and Fully Automatic Types (Specify length + machine name and optimal capacity)
