SMT operators should possess a strong sense of responsibility and work carefully and diligently.
Operators must undergo systematic training from the engineering department before commencing duties, including education on process discipline and safety production.
Operators must pass an assessment and obtain qualification before being allowed to operate SMT equipment.
New operators should be supervised by a mentor during their initial period of operation.
Strictly adhere to the procedures outlined in the “Equipment Operation Manual,” with required process documents displayed before production begins.
It is forbidden to access or adjust menus that are not relevant to production; any adjustment during material shortages must involve engineering personnel.
Erection of material racks while the machine is running is strictly prohibited. Safety covers must be opened when installing a new rack, and the appropriate feeders must be used.
Never extend any body parts into the machine’s safety enclosure while it is operating.
Care should be taken to avoid rough handling; material racks should be orderly and securely positioned.
Operators must not leave the workshop for meals or end shifts while the SMT equipment is in operation.
Any error messages from the SMT equipment must be carefully reviewed. Operators should consult engineering personnel for any unclear messages.
Complete daily cleaning and maintenance tasks in accordance with the “Equipment Maintenance Manual,” and ensure they are documented and verified by engineering personnel.
Material changes in production must be documented, and confirmation by IPQC should occur within 15 minutes to ensure consistency.
The production display screen of SMT equipment should typically indicate a material throwing state, and any abnormalities must be reported immediately.
Only one type of material should be stored per production line; any leftover materials should be returned to the workstation with sufficient empty material tape reserved.
Strive to collect all necessary materials at the beginning of the shift to minimize interruptions for additional materials.
Prepare for material changes in advance to reduce downtime.
Empty material reels should be placed in the designated location for easy IPQC verification.
Maintain punctual production output records as prescribed.
Fill out downtime records accurately and in detail as per regulations.
At the end of the shift, complete detailed production information records and have them confirmed by the oncoming operator and engineering personnel.
Clean the area, dispose of used materials, and maintain the 5S principle before leaving.
Conduct an inventory check of important materials with the next operator when finishing the shift.
Fill out handover records according to prescribed guidelines when completing the shift.
Materials and tool records must be stored in designated areas; avoid clutter on the machines.
Waste tape should be cut promptly, with a specified length to prevent it from trailing into the waste basket while ensuring machine safety.
Complete any production boards still running before leaving for a meal or break.
Any abnormal equipment must be reported; if there is a red warning, engineering personnel must resolve the issue before reuse.
In the case of an equipment accident, the scene must be preserved without any excuses for tampering.
When shutting down SMT equipment, it must be done through normal procedures, returning to the origin point for the pick-and-place machine.
If manual placement is required due to equipment limitations, it must be confirmed by onsite engineering personnel, following the order of machine placement first before manual placement.
Before shift changes or production changes, the “three checks” must be performed: check for foreign objects inside the machine, ensure the rail width is suitable, and verify that the rail coupling platform is in a safe position.
During initial production, closely monitor material usage, flow, and substrate positioning within the machine.
Operators must wear anti-static gloves when handling ICs during production.
NG products with defects must be recorded according to IPC standards, and any boards with two or more defective units should be isolated for separate production.
This document outlines the operation standards and guidelines for SMT equipment. We welcome everyone to participate in discussions and exchanges related to SMT practices.
