Case Study

Third Used Yamaha YSM20R for LED Production in Spain

See how a Spanish LED display maker added the third of its four used Yamaha YSM20R machines from JHIMS to open a third production line — 30% efficiency boost, CPK-tested.

Direct answer: A leading Spanish LED display manufacturer — already running two Yamaha YSM20R machines from JHIMS — added a third used Yamaha YSM20R to meet growing LED module demand. JHIMS sourced a low-usage machine with full service history, performed CPK accuracy tests and functional checks, then cleaned and lubricated it before delivery with a competitive discount. The customer reported a 30% increase in production efficiency, with the third unit providing redundancy and scheduling flexibility for parallel LED module batches.

Project TypeThird used Yamaha YSM20R (line expansion)
Existing Fleet2 Yamaha YSM20R machines from JHIMS
Driving RequirementAdditional placement capacity for growing LED display orders

LED display orders arrive in campaign peaks, so capacity must scale without a permanent cost step. With 0201 to 55 × 100 mm parts and up to 140 feeder types at 8 mm, the plant’s two YSM20R machines had run out of hours.

Customer Background: Scaling LED Display Production

The Spanish LED display manufacturer already ran two Yamaha YSM20R machines ordered from JHIMS in November 2022. Orders across European markets filled both, so a third used YSM20R — the third of four machines JHIMS supplied — raised placement capacity without buying a new machine. See the full four-machine case study.

The used Yamaha YSM20R places at 95,000 CPH and covers components from 0201 to 55 × 100 mm. It is the same platform as the two machines on site, so programs, spares and operator training carry over.

Peak orders exceeded what two machines could place. The plant had standardised on the YSM20R, so accuracy (±0.035 mm, ±0.025 mm at Cpk 1.0) was never the limit — a third machine closed the gap without a new line.

Project Challenges

Customer discussing used Yamaha YSM20R purchase with JHIMS
Payment confirmation and machine loading videos exchanged with the customer during the order.
  • Capacity Bottleneck Two YSM20R machines reached full capacity as LED display orders grew across European markets.
  • Cost Control The customer needed additional placement capability without the cost of a brand-new machine.
  • Quality Assurance A used machine must deliver new-machine output reliability.
  • Seamless Integration The third machine had to integrate into the existing LED module line with minimal disruption.
  • Delivery Confidence The customer needed verified machine condition before shipment.

Two commercial drivers — cost per placed component, delivery time — and three engineering drivers — capacity peaks, compatibility with both on-site machines, operator familiarity — decide if a third used machine works.

The published project drivers, what each of them costs in production terms, and how the third used YSM20R addressed them.

Reported driver What it means in production How the decision addressed it
Capacity bottleneck Placement hours are the binding constraint; extra orders cannot be accepted A third mounter adds production hours without a new process to qualify
Cost control Peak capacity that only smooths demand is hard to justify at new-machine prices Lightly used unit sourced at used-equipment economics with full service history
Quality assurance Pre-owned condition is uncertain, so buyers carry the risk of hidden wear Full service history, axis and feeder checks, cleaning and lubrication before shipment
Verified accuracy The published accuracy figure must hold on this specific unit CPK placement accuracy testing performed before delivery
Seamless integration The unit has to run the same products and programs as the existing fleet Identical model: shared programs, feeder pool, nozzle sets and operator knowledge
Delivery confidence Condition must be proven before payment rather than discovered on arrival Test evidence shared with the customer ahead of shipment
Redundancy A single machine stop removes half the placement capacity Three-machine fleet keeps two machines producing during planned service
Scheduling flexibility Campaigns must run one after another on a two-machine plant One machine can be set up for the next campaign while the others produce
Component range Campaigns mix fine chips and larger LED components on the same line 0201 to 55 x 100 mm range with up to 140 feeder types at 8 mm equivalent

Customer Requirements

Before purchasing the third used Yamaha YSM20R, the customer verified five non-negotiable requirements:

  • High-Quality Used Machine Lightly used Yamaha YSM20R with documented service history.
  • Affordable Pricing Competitive SMT equipment pricing within the customer’s budget.
  • Reliable Performance Used-machine performance matching new-machine output.
  • Verified Accuracy CPK-tested placement accuracy before shipment.
  • Proven Supplier A partner with a track record — the customer already trusted JHIMS for two machines.

The five requirements read as an acceptance spec: capacity matching a new machine (95,000 CPH, 0201 to 55 × 100 mm), compatibility with the two YSM20R machines, CPK accuracy at ±0.035 mm, spares, and delivery time.

The five requirements the customer verified before purchase, and the evidence that closes each one.

Why a Third Machine Adds Capacity a Bigger Machine Cannot

The alternatives were a new machine, a higher-speed model or a second shift, and each costs more. A faster mounter only helps while it runs; a third YSM20R adds placement capacity with no new process to validate.

The second reason is risk, and it is why the timing of the purchase matters: the third unit is rated the same 95,000 CPH as the two already in place, and the reported gain was 30%.

  • A used machine from a verified source carries documented condition instead of unknown history
  • Compatibility with the two existing machines removes a second learning curve
  • CPK verification before shipment moves the accuracy risk to the supplier
  • Spares and service continuity protect uptime after delivery
