zianuraysomebody get a straitjacket ready, size 26WP please.
we have been doing a set of engineer-test panels at work....something to the tune of 19 cores (with a layer on each side) per finished board. these cores are big, flimsy, and brittle. it takes two of the engineers to punch them (put holes in the edges for scanners and layup).
there is one scanner they can be run on. we have two scanners of this type and size, but one is broken and has been for 11 months now.
these panels will NOT lay flat, so the scanner thinks they do not have circuits where they should and do have blotches of conductive material where they should NOT. so it takes several tries (passes) to get one layer to scan. if it will at all.
and today i am told we will be having 200 of each core coming through per month very soon.
on a real good day, with very cooperative panels of this part, i can do 6 ten-panel sets. that's 120 sides, or 60 cores.
19 x 2 x 200 = 7600 sides
120 sides in an 8-hour shift....(second shift doesn't like these so they say "we couldn't get them to run" but just for the sake of charity we're gonna call it 2 shifts, ok?)
so 240 sides in 2 (8-hour) shifts
20 to 23 work-days in a month.....4800 to 5520 sides. OK, add in 4 Saturdays....that's another 960....well, maybe we need to work Sundays on these babies also. Add another 960.
Hmm. 7440.
Remember, that was on a GOOD day, with relatively good parts....
And what about when this scanner (or the operater) breaks down? only one we have that these will fit on, since the other is-and-has-been down.
Something tells me i need to start cancelling any non-work plans i may have (like the Handfasting? LIKE HELL!!) and stock up on coffee and multivitamins. AND look for another job.
