SMT Capacity Calculator

Calculate the capacity and utilization of your SMT production line. Factor in line speed, OEE, shift model, and product mix to understand your true production potential.

Line Parameters
cph
Placer nameplate capacity in components per hour. Use the slowest machine on the line.
%
Overall Equipment Effectiveness. Typical SMT lines run 55–75%. Accounts for availability, performance, and quality losses.
Shift Model
Calculation Assumptions ▼
Capacity is calculated using 50 working weeks × 5 days/week × selected hours/day.

Effective line speed = Nameplate speed × OEE factor.

PCBs/hour per product = Effective speed ÷ components per PCB.

No material cost, overhead, or labour is deducted. Use for capacity planning and top-line scheduling — not margin analysis.
Product Mix
# Product Name PCBs / Year Price / PCB (€) Components / PCB
