Second hand or new technology? Making the right SMT investment
Key factors that determine whether used or new SMT machinery fits your production
Investing in SMT machinery is a major decision, whether you are considering second hand SMT machinery or new SMT technology. The right choice has a direct impact on daily SMT production, product quality and your ability to scale efficiently. That is why it is critical to make the right SMT investment from the start.
There is no single solution that fits every electronics manufacturer. Production volumes, component complexity, quality requirements and future growth plans all play a role when selecting the right SMT machines or used SMT equipment. Without clear guidance, the risk of over- or under-investing is high.
At CORE-emt, we combine deep industry knowledge with hands-on experience in electronics manufacturing. This enables us to guide our customers toward the optimal solution, whether that means a carefully selected second hand SMT machine or a step up to new SMT technology. Our goal is simple: to ensure your SMT machinery supports reliable production, consistent quality and long-term performance.
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:
- Your present production,
- what you aim to produce in the future
- 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.
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.
