Summary
In this week's article, we tell you a bit more about our SMT production line. Since 2019, WBS Pump start to built our own SMT line for WBS solar pump controller. This in-house production is efficient and faster for electronic devices in general, but it also gives us a more comprehensive range for solar pump controllers.
What is the SMT production line?
SMT stands for surface mount technology, PCB stands for printed circuit board. To mount electronic components directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board, we use the SMT production process. This means that we also give our clients the possibility to produce circuit boards (PBCAs) for electronic devices. Electronic manufacturing using SMT implies that the electronic components are assembled automatically. The SMT line machine and the SMT assembly line equipment place the electronic components onto the surface of a board.
Our SMT machines are mainly used for sectors such as telecom, automotive, strategic electronics and healthcare. Therefore we must be capable of placing components with a high level of accuracy, especially in modern times where technology is increasing in complexity and variety. Downsizing of the circuit boards also became an important innovation as the demand is for smaller and faster boards.
SMT line efficiency
Line efficiency is essential for every manufacturer and assembler. This goes especially for printed circuit board production. Line efficiency is the ratio of the number of hours a pick-and-place machine positions parts on the PCB divided by the quantity of hours the SMT assembly lines are staffed. The overall aim is to manufacture as many PCBs without quality loss of the product in the shortest period of time.
Let's improve our efficiency!
We always continue to improve our line efficiency. Collecting data is one of the many important ways to improve efficiency. But just collecting data is not enough. With the data, we calculate and identify factors that could be improved.
