How to make the right SMT machinery choice

As SMT machinery is a big investment, whether you choose a second hand SMT machine or new SMT machinery. That makes it crucial that buyers make the right investment the first time around. Both to meet needs in daily production and quality wise.

Unfortunately, none of us have a crystal ball, but at CORE-emt we have a thorough understanding and expertise of the SMT business. That gives us the best foundation to guide you in choosing the right SMT machine the first time around.

Second hand SMT machinery

It’s not a bad choice to buy a used SMT machine. At CORE-emt we do occasionally sell second hand machinery. Choosing the right solution for you all narrows down to 3 factors:

  1. Your present production,

  2. what you aim to produce in the future

  3. and at what level of quality.

No electronics factory is identical, and that makes this a very individual choice. At CORE-emt we take pride in guiding our customers in the best direction for your SMT company.

New SMT technology

Naturally there is a lot of benefits and advantages when you invest in new technology. Production speed, quality and meeting the new requirements when working with SMD components and SMT production.

By lifting your SMT technology into the newest standards, you will ensure that your production will run more reliable, increase capacity and be cost effective now and many years to come.

Comtec went from buying second hand to new technology SMT machinery

From second hand to new technology

In 2018 COMTEC OY in Finland made in collaboration with CORE-emt a choice to step up their game and purchase a new Yamaha pick & place mounter.

They choose the pick & place mounter with the world’s fastest mounting technology at that time; the Yamaha YSM10 Compact High-speed Modular Surface Mounter which will give them the advantage of being up to date on all present SMT components such as 01005, BGA or even large connectors. At the same time COMTEC OY can introduce 100% intelligent feeder platform.

Previously, COMTEC OY had purchased a second hand screen printer and a conveyor loader from CORE-emt.
