Gary, The tack time can vary greatly depending on component mix on the product. For a good summary of SMT equipment performance, Circuits Assembly (January 1997) published an equipment survey that includes a breakdown of placing rates for component types. However the best way to get this info is to measure it yourself. Chris Messner U.T.
