How to Choose a Suitable SMT Placement Machine

 

In the previous article, we explained the advantages of the placement machine, and then we will introduce you how to choose the appropriate placement machine.

Choosing the right high quality pick and place machine, SMT placement machine and chip mounter can improve production efficiency.

SMT is the booster behind the electronics manufacturing and processing industry. With the rapid development of the electronics industry, SMT mounting technology is indispensable. The production efficiency has been greatly improved, and the electronic components are becoming more and more refined, resulting in the enrichment of electronic products. With small size and diversified product forms, the core equipment behind this is the placement machine, which quickly and accurately mounts various types of electronic components on the PCB circuit board, greatly improving productivity.

 

Faced with the many brands and models of SMT placement machines on the market, how to choose placement machines? The following ETA will give you an analysis and explanation

 

1. Place of origin of SMT placement machine

Choose imported placement machine or domestic placement machine. Import placement machine currently accounts for more than 80% of the market. The main reasons are stability, good reliability, fast placement accuracy and speed, and easy maintenance.

 

2. Old and new SMT placement machine

There are also many brands of imported placement machines, mainly occupied by Europe, America and Japan. Imported placement machines in different countries have different prices. Most of the new imported placement machines are more expensive. If the placement manufacturer does not mind second-hand, you can consider importing Used SMT placement machine brand.

3. High-speed, general-purpose SMT placement machine

Different brands have high-speed and medium-speed placement machine models. High-speed placement machines have been widely recognized by the market including three major brands such as Siemens (acquired by ASM), Panasonic, and Fuji; this is like the BBA in the automotive industry. Although Honda and Toyota also have high-end models, the general market recognition of high-end brands is the concepts of BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz.

 

4. Market holdings, hedging rate

There are many brands and models of imported and domestic placement machines. Choosing a placement machine needs to be determined from the two aspects of market retention and value retention. The retention is large, and the accessories and later maintenance are easier.

 

5. Existing SMT production line

If you have a line body of the placement machine and need to expand the line, then you can consider the placement machine and equipment of the same brand, because the early installation and commissioning and technical training can be ignored.

 

Conclusion:

When purchasing a placement machine, you cannot determine the choice based on a certain placement machine brand. You need to consider your own production capacity, products made and budget. If the product reliability is high, the board material is large, and the production capacity is large and stable, then Consider the high-speed placement machine, and consider the imported high-speed machine, because the imported placement machine has high stability.
