製造業サプライチェーン研究所 2026年10月8日 07:14 As part of new employee training,
However, if you take someone who has never seen PCB assembly before directly to an SMT line, they often only remember the size and speed of the equipment, and the essential processes do not stick in their minds.
Even if these are standard pieces of equipment for the trainer, for a new hire, it is a series of machines they are seeing for the first time.
This time, I will focus on pre-learning before visiting an SMT line.
In conclusion, it is because the new hire does not yet have a map of the SMT line in their head.
If they walk through the line without knowing that, they will likely just end up looking at each piece of equipment one by one.
Even if that is sufficient explanation for an experienced person, for a new hire, it is just a series of new equipment names appearing one after another.
This is less a matter of the newcomer's comprehension and more a matter of preparation before the visit.
Even when visiting an unfamiliar city for the first time, how well you remember it differs depending on whether you looked at a map beforehand or walked around knowing nothing.
SMT stands for Surface Mount Technology, which is the technology for mounting electronic components onto the surface of a printed circuit board.
Printing solder ↓ Placing electronic components ↓ Heating to solder ↓ Inspecting for correct assembly
Printer ↓ Mounter ↓ Reflow oven ↓ Inspection equipment such as AOI
Actual lines also include SPI, pre-reflow AOI, transport equipment, loaders, unloaders, etc., and the configuration varies by factory.
However, there is no need for newcomers to memorize all the equipment in their initial pre-learning.
"The board moves through the line, gradually becoming a finished product."
This difference is quite significant in new employee training.
There is no need to memorize equipment manufacturers, model names, tact times, or detailed condition settings here.
It is sufficient if the newcomer can explain it in their own words:
"Print the solder, place the components, join them with heat, and finally check them."
Heating to melt the solder and bond the components to the board.
The key is not to explain things too technically from the start.
As the same board moves through the process, it gets closer to being a finished product.
It is not just the machines that you want the newcomer to look at.
If you convey this perspective in advance, their way of looking at things when they enter the site will change.
In new employee training, the more you teach, the more you want to explain.
However, if you teach them everything before their first visit, they will lose track of what the basics are.
It is to "make them capable of understanding what they see on the shop floor."
Therefore, it is fine to limit the content checked before the visit to this level.
・Can state the general order of an SMT line ・Can explain the roles of printing, mounting, reflow, and inspection in one sentence ・Understands how the board changes at each process ・Knows what kind of equipment a mounter is ・Has thought of one question to ask on the floor
If they can do this, their prior knowledge will begin to connect with the actual site when they see it in person.
There is no need for training before a site visit to be about
not making them read documents for hours before sending them to the site,
nor is it taking them to the site without explaining anything.
Building a foundation first so that they can understand the meaning when they see the real thing.
This is an introductory guide for those who are not familiar with PCB assembly to grasp the overall picture of
As written in this article, if you take a newcomer directly to an SMT line, they may end up just looking at the equipment.
↓ See the actual SMT line ↓ Connect the processes seen in the book with the actual equipment
I hope this will be used not only by the newcomers themselves but also as pre-learning material by
