MYDATA pick & place machine does the work of six for BOR
For Dutch electronics developer and manufacturer BOR, located in the North of the Netherlands, one recently purchased component placement machine from MYDATA has replaced their six existing machines from another supplier. The machine is providing not only enhanced flexibility and possible component range but also greatly increased throughput capacity. To satisfy strong growth in demand for its services, BOR has purchased a pre-owned MY12 machine, which is capable of mounting up to 21,000 cph and which has capacity for up to 144 tape feeders for 8 mm components.
Before supplying the machine to BOR, MYDATA refurbished it and installed the latest compatible version of the operating software. As a result, the MY12 is providing BOR with many of the benefits of MYDATA’s latest MY100 generation machines, at a cost that is significantly lower than that of purchasing a brand new machine. In particular, the MY12 is capable of efficiently handling all component types currently in common use, including BGAs and 01005 devices.
The MY12 will not only enable BOR to better satisfy the needs of its existing customers, but will also provide a sound foundation for further business expansion, as it will allow the company to handle much more complex boards cost effectively.
Since it uses Intelligent feeders, which are renowned for their ease and speed of handling, the new machine will also help BOR to minimise changeover times and thereby maximise productivity, even with the small batch sizes that are becoming increasingly common in the electronics subcontract manufacturing sector.
Even though it has purchased the MY12 machine second hand, BOR will also benefit from the extensive range of support and training services that MYDATA offers to help all users of its equipment to maximise the productivity and profitability of their SMT lines. And, since all MYDATA machines are designed and built with longevity and future proofing in mind, BOR can expect its investment in the MY12 to continue generating attractive returns for many years to come. www.mydata.com
