Ulimate soldering machine

[Laurynas]

Hi,
I am a new member here. I am looking for some information about picking and placing soldering machine, maybe someone could give me few examples about it.
P.S. I have to make 50 000 of circuit on PCB. Waiting for wise advise.

thanks

How about this machine?

Will it work?? Please explain.

Do you have a specific question?
Are you wanting to buy a machine or find a company to run the boards for you or what?
We aren't here to write a book on how a pick/place machine works.

I've did work on both pick and place and thru hole machines for several years. At the quantities you specify and your apparent level of knowledge. You would be better served just contracting out the PCB board assembly.

Even the cheapest ones start at like $50K USD.. Not to mention setup/training/reflow oven/conveyors/buffers/board stackers,etc... You would be very hard pressed to setup a SMT line for under $250K.

Obviously you farm this job out to a SMT assembly house.

Ok, another question.

So how much would cost to make 50 000 of those. (see the attachment )

P.S. I know that circuit won't work, but just to get an idea..

Go to digikey.com and add up the cost of your components (based on tape and reel pricing) then add a dollar or 2 for the circuit board and then add 5-10 dollars per board for assembly. That will give you a "rough" price.
When you have the BOM/Gerbers/NCDrill/PicknPlace files simply ask for a quote from a SMT assembly house.
