Analysis of Common Maintenance Costs for Samsung Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Machines: Where Does the High Maintenanc

Don't think that the repair order is simply written as "replacement + adjustment". In fact, the money you pay is mainly divided into the following three parts:

There's no need to elaborate on this. The original accessories of Samsung surface mount technology (SMT) machines are not cheap to begin with, such as:

• Nozzle: tens to hundreds of yuan each, with a large price difference depending on the model
• Camera module: A few thousand yuan is not uncommon. It's the original imported type
• Feida motors, electromagnets, etc. : 500 to 1,500 yuan per set is common
• Spindle motors or Z-axis encoders: They basically start at a thousand yuan

Sometimes you may think a small thing is unremarkable, but in fact, it is a core component for surface mount technology (SMT) precision, and its high price is quite reasonable...

Samsung surface mount technology (SMT) machine technical service fee

When maintenance companies or factory engineers come to your door, it's not just about replacing parts; they want:

• Fault diagnosis (Troubleshooting time: 1 to 2 hours)
• Maintenance and debugging (Adjusting a surface mount technology (SMT) machine is not adjusting a printer)
• Finally, testing, mounting and trial running, as well as precision calibration are required

It takes at least half a day for a trip. Calculated by manpower, a labor cost of 300 to 800 yuan is considered a normal level. If an engineer needs to come all the way, additional travel expenses or business trip subsidies will be required.

This one is often overlooked by everyone, but in fact, it is the most expensive. As soon as the surface mount technology (SMT) machine stops, the entire production line behind it has to take a break. It's not worth it no matter how you calculate it, to produce tens of thousands of less patches a day.

Based on the practical experience of our factory and our peers, the common troubleshooting methods are roughly as follows:

A small tip: If the machine is over three years old, many problems are due to "aging + accumulation", and the frequency of maintenance will naturally increase.

Original vs. aftermarket parts repair

The answer to this question is: Look at the accessories and the purpose.

• For suction nozzles and feida types: Third-party products offer good value for money, but it's important to choose a reliable brand. For instance, the compatible parts of JUKI third-party products are quite stable.
• Core components (such as visual cameras and electronic control boards) : It is advisable to use original or second-hand original ones as much as possible. Third-party manufacturers have more unstable factors and are prone to rework after repair.

In fact, the high maintenance costs are mostly not due to the poor quality of the machine, but rather the inadequate maintenance!

Here are a few suggestions to share with everyone

1. Regular maintenance of the visual system: Clean the lens, calibrate the light source brightness, and do it once a month.
2. Check the suction nozzle once a week: Don't wait until it flies to think about it.
3. Clean the feeder after use: Avoid long-term dust accumulation and material jamming.
4. Timed drainage of the air pressure system: If there is too much water in the air, the vacuum will be unstable.
5. Parameter backup should be done well: Once the system crashes, recovery is guaranteed.

If you take good care of yourself in daily life, you will spend less money when it comes to critical moments!

Why is the maintenance cost of Samsung surface mount technology (SMT) machines so high?

• The main reasons are the high price of the accessories themselves, the high technical requirements for labor, and the large cost of machine downtime.
• But as long as you prepare in advance and maintain it regularly, many small problems can be prevented in advance.

In a nutshell: The surface mount technology (SMT) machine is not afraid of being used, but it is feared that you do not take good care of it.
