Juki to Display High-Volume Production Equipment at APEX

Juki Automation Systems (JAS), Inc., a world-leading provider of automated assembly products and systems and part of Juki Automation Systems Corporation, today announced that it will exhibit in Booth #763 at the 2016 IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take place March 15-17, 2016 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Juki will display a high-mix line along with several updated flexible solutions designed for both high-volume and high mix environments, including:

The high-mix line will feature the GL Fully Automatic Screen Printer, KE3010 and KE3020 Flexible Mounters, and RS-600II Six Zone Reflow Oven. The JM-20 Hybrid (Through-Hole) machine also will be on display.

Designed for the optimal management of larger dimension reels, the ISM2000 Fortress offers the flexibility to support a combination of 7" reels from 8-16 mm in height, 13"/15" reels up to 44 mm in height as well as JEDEC trays. The ISM2000 uses a patented multiple outlet system that allows for the simultaneous extraction and insertion of up to 27 reels at a time. The outlet system also supports the extraction of a single reel in quick fashion.

The ISM UltraFlex 3600 builds on the strengths of its ACS/ISM 2000 predecessor, with even higher speed/throughput, powerful software that is constantly improved with new features; and an intuitive interface, now fully on touchscreen devices. The new machine and case designs enable the UltraFlex 3600 to store a maximum number of 3600 7"-8 mm reels, but can accept any mix of reel sizes. During idle time, the machine will automatically sort cases to optimize the distribution of reels of different formats, always providing the maximum possible storage capacity.

The CUBE.460 selective solder system sets the new standard for dual nozzle mini-wave soldering systems. The unique CUBE.460 batch platform offers excellent flexibility for through-hole applications. The CUBE.460 can be configured with a single nozzle or dual nozzle for increased flexibility. The system comes equipped with many standard features that include heated nitrogen at the soldering nozzle, 0° and 7° soldering to accommodate various types of nozzles and an exchangeable pot system to support both leaded/unleaded alloys.

The RX-6/RX-7 Flexible Placement Machines are now available in a 6x6 version (six heads front/rear) for high-speed and the 6x3 version (high-speed front/flexible rear). All machines include both standard and high resolution front/rear cameras for added speed, accuracy and flexibility. The RX-6 also includes two feeder trolleys – additional are optional. The system supports the new smaller TR8 Matrix Tray Changer that takes up less feeder space while allowing for maximum capacity.For more information about Juki Automation Systems, visit www.jukiamericas.com.
