A practical guide to picking PCB conveyors, loaders, unloaders, and buffers for smoother SMT automation, with tips on SMEMA/Hermes and WIP control.
From prototype to volume, learn how to build fan mesh covers that repeat: DFM, fixtures, weld checks, finish control, pilot runs, and stable supply worldwide!
Practical tips to maintain and re-fill solder paste printer depositors: handle paste, tune dispense, check cleaning, use SPI, and guard airflow with fan guards.
Line balancing for rear wire shelving: set takt, map cycle times, use Yamazumi, and rebalance work to cut bottlenecks, lower WIP, and keep OEM/ODM flow steady with Qiao
Pick a PCB panel laser cutter with less guesswork: compare UV, CO2, and fiber, set kerf/HAZ checks, plan fume control, and go inline-ready for SMT teams daily!
A practical guide to working with OEMs on SMT line customization: define scope, align Hermes/CFX data, run FAT/SAT, and plan traceability and support parts now.
Keep AOI and SPI in peak condition with practical checks, calibration triggers, and data rules. Reduce false calls, catch drift early, and stabilize SMT output.
