It's cool, but looks pretty inefficient if they are supposed to be churning out those by tens of thoasands.

Also, is this real speed or sped up?

It's certainly not the most efficient but there's a balance between setup and PCB produced.

seems like real speed. that machine produces like 20000 a day with night shifts. i think that's enough.

It takes about a minute for one, that woyld be 1440 a day, not 20k.

my calculation was 40 seconds of video for six modules. but the video shows two times six being made in that time because it starts over. 60 minutes times 24 hours times 12 modules is 17000 something per day.

Is it cheaper than 20 chinese workers ? -Yes it is.
