The running cost of the solder paste printing machine mainly includes the following aspects:

I. Equipment purchase cost

Although this is not strictly a running cost, the initial investment in equipment can affect long-term cost considerations. Higher-end solder paste printing machine is usually more expensive, but may have better performance and stability in the long term may maintenance and repair costs.

Second, the cost of consumables

Solder Paste:

Solder paste is one of the main consumables for a solder paste printer. The price of different types and brands of solder paste varies greatly, and its performance also affects the printing quality and cost. High-quality solder paste can improve printing accuracy and reliability, but the price is relatively high.

In order to solder paste cost, you can choose the type of solder paste reasonably according to the production demand and avoid excessive use of high-priced solder paste. At the same time, pay attention to the storage and use methods of solder paste to extend its use and reduce waste.

Stencil:

The quality and use of stencils will also affect the cost. High-precision stencils are more expensive, but can improve printing quality and reuse.

Regularly clean and maintain the stencil to prolong its use. Reasonable selection of the thickness and opening size of the stencil to adapt to different printing needs, to avoid frequent replacement of the stencil.

III. Maintenance and Repair Costs

Regular maintenance:

The solder paste printing machine needs regular maintenance, including cleaning, lubrication, calibration and so on. This requires a certain amount of time and labour costs, but also requires the use of some maintenance materials and tools.

Make a reasonable maintenance plan, according to the specified time and method of maintenance, you can extend the use of equipment, repair costs. At the same time, training personnel in the correct maintenance methods to improve maintenance efficiency.

Failure maintenance:

When equipment malfunctions, it needs to be repaired. Maintenance costs include maintenance personnel's labour hours, the cost of replacement parts and so on.

For the sake of maintenance cost, equipment with reliable quality should be selected, and regular inspection and maintenance should be carried out to find and solve potential problems in time. At the same time, stock up some common wearing parts so that they can be replaced in time when needed to reduce downtime.

IV. Energy Costs

Power consumption:

Solder paste printing machine needs to consume electricity in the operation process. Different models and performance of the equipment power consumption varies greatly.

Select energy-saving solder paste printing machine can power consumption. At the same time, reasonable arrangements for production schedules, to avoid prolonged idling equipment, reduce unnecessary energy waste.

Compressed air consumption:

Some solder paste printing machines need to use compressed air for driving or cleaning. The production and supply of compressed air also requires energy consumption.

Optimise the compressed air system to ensure that there is no leakage in the pipeline, and reasonably adjust the air pressure to compress the air consumption.

V. Labour costs

Personnel:

The personnel needed to come and maintain the solder paste printing machine. Personnel training costs, wages and benefits are part of the manpower costs.

Training personnel to master the equipment and maintenance skills, improve efficiency and reduce equipment failure and production losses due to improper. At the same time, consider using equipment with a higher degree of automation to reduce reliance on labour.

Technical support personnel:

Technical support personnel that may be needed when equipment malfunctions or technical upgrades are required. The cost of technical support personnel can also add to operating costs.

Establish a good relationship with equipment suppliers to obtain timely technical support and services. At the same time, cultivate internal technical personnel to improve the ability to solve problems independently and rely on external technical support.

In order to the running cost of the solder paste printing machine, the following measures can be taken:

First, optimise the management of consumables

Reasonable selection of solder paste and stencil:

According to the production demand and product characteristics, choose cost-effective solder paste and stencil. Different brands and models can be tried and compared to find a suitable combination of consumables.

Establish long-term relationships with suppliers for better prices and services. At the same time, pay attention to market dynamics, keep abreast of new consumable products and technologies, and continuously optimise the choice of consumables.

Control the amount of consumables used:

Use solder paste and stencil in strict accordance with process requirements to avoid waste. For example, reasonably control the printing thickness and dosage of solder paste to avoid excessive accumulation of solder paste on the circuit board.

Perform regular cleaning and maintenance of the stencil to extend its service life. At the same time, according to the production plan to rationally arrange the use of the stencil, to avoid frequent replacement of the stencil.

Second, improve the level of equipment maintenance

Regular maintenance:

Carry out regular maintenance in strict accordance with the equipment maintenance manual to ensure that the equipment is in good operating condition. Maintenance content includes cleaning, lubrication, calibration, inspection and so on.

Establish equipment maintenance records to track the operating conditions and maintenance history of the equipment, and discover potential problems in time and deal with them.

Preventive Maintenance:

Adopt a preventive maintenance strategy
