Talking about the cost. we should mention the manufacturers or the brand. As you know. the price is highly linked with the quality and stability and etc.. The brand for SMT line is mainly from Asia. Europe and America.

• Brand from Asia are blow:

Japanese SMT development status and brand: The SMT started early in Japan. there are some brand such as Fuji. Panasonic. Yamaha. Juki. Hitachi(Sanyo). Sony.

Korean SMT brand: Mirae. Samsung. Assembleon.

Brand from Europe and America: Siplace. Universal.

The cost for the SMT line will be different base on the particular situation.

Since the pick and place machine is the very important one in the SMT line. the cost of the pick and place machine is about 60%-70% of the whole SMT line.

And the cost of the pick and place machine is mainly depended on the following factors:

• production capacity

The capacity for the pick and place can be divided into Large. Middle. Small.

The brand for large capacity are Asm. Fuji. Panasonic. The capacity for some of them can reach more than 100.000 CPH.

The price for these brand will be about 700.000 USD that is a really huge cost for most of the companies.

The brand for the middle capacity are Yamaha. Juki. Samsung. The range for theoretical capacity is from 20.000 CPH to 70.000 CPH based on different type. the range for actual capacity is from 12.000 CPH to 35.000 CPH.

The range for the price is from 100.000 USD to 200.000 USD.

• Equipment accuracy

The SMT line is for the production which requires high accuracy. The accuracy is always measured in microns.

The trend for the component mounted on the SMT line is getting smaller and the function for the component is getting more intelligent.

If the size of component is 01005.0201.and etc.. you need the machine for higher precision. and the cost is more expensive accordingly.

PCB Accuracy

• Parameter Specification

There are limits for the size of the component for the particular pick and place machine. The size of the PCB and component is more small. the price is more expensive.

The brand mentioned above is usually expensive. hence some people may ask is there any machine with lower cost?

The answer is yes. As you know there is need for small capacity and have to change the type of the component frequently in the production. how about the SMT line for that?

Since China is the world factory. the industry for SMT has achieved a great development. Some brands have already sent to the field all over the world.

ElectronicsTalk already combine these brands and provide the competitive machines here you could refer to, it has good performance while the much lower cost which is mainly suitable for research institutes and small and medium-sized enterprises to meet the needs of multiple varieties. small and medium batches or single varieties.

About the cost for the SMT line. based on the information. we knew. most of the brands in Japan. Europe and America are very expensive. maybe at least 8.000.000 USD for each line.

Thus. many factories can barely afford it. and most factories don’t need such huge capacity. The cost for the SMT line in China. it is only 1/10 of the cost compared to others in the world.

So how to choose the SMT line based on the critic needs and the development of the factory.
