Major Cost Drivers -- PCBA PTH Auto Insert
PTH Auto Insert Cycle Time is the sum of the time to load the machine, check the positioning of the PCB (using fiducial markings), have the machine insert the components, and then unload the machine.
Process Time = (Auto Insert Process Time)/Panelization Quantity
Auto Insert Process Time = Load Time + Fiducial Check Time + Auto Insert Placement Time + Unload Time
Load Time = (Machine variable)
Fiducial Check Time = (Machine variable)
Auto Insert Placement Time = Qty TH Auto Insert Components/Auto Insert Deposition Rate
Auto Insert Deposition Rate = (Machine variable)/SEC_PER_HR
Unload Time = (Machine variable)
