How to calculate the line capacity | 6 February, 2006

Get a stopwatch & time your functions to see which is the slowest. I am guessing it's going to be the oven, printer (if using paste inspection) or the AOI.

If you are talking the average or optimum speed in CPH, that would depend on the type of board & layout.

We had a couple of similar speed lines (2 CP6's instead of 4 S20's, everything else the same) and we used to get 50-70K per hour depending on board type.
