Hi Technetters,

I've looked at machine specifications that quote placement rates per IPC9850. 
How do these rates compare with actual throughput? If a machine quotes 
20,000 CPH per IPC 9850, and a PCBA has 2000 components, should the 
machine be able to produce a board every 6 minutes? 

Obviously, nozzle changes will reduce throughput, as will layout and de-
optimziation of the placement (layout, feeder positioning, etc.). 

Has anyone looked at actual performance vs. quoted performance to get a 
real world estimation?

Thanks,

Blair
