JUKI Releases JX-350 Long Board SMT Placement Machine

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

JUKI introduces JX-350, a long board SMT placement machine. JX-350 is the successor to JUKI’s LED dedicated mounter JX-300LED, and significantly improves the placing ability of diffusion lenses for LED production.

By reducing the weight of the beam and revising the head drive control, its placement speed increased by 18% to 32,000cph compared to previous model.

Additionally, the component capability has expanded remarkably. By incorporating a newly developed screw type nozzle (option), it can place six pieces of large components up to 25 mm diameter or diffusion lenses simultaneously. The screw type nozzle improves productivity by performing pick, recognition and placement all in one pass for the six nozzles, which previously was done in two passes.

Placement range is a maximum 650 mm in 1 clamp (previous model max. 610 mm) and 1,200 mm in 2 clamps (standard specification). It can handle up to 1,500 mm board (option) — the largest board size in the industry — making it ideal for long board production such as LED lighting.

Users can select either electric or mechanical feeder for supply method, enabling them to utilize their existing assets. Matrix Tray Server TR5S is also available as an option for supplying tray component from rear side bank.

JUKI promotes the new JX-350 long board SMT placement machine as an ideal solution for LED and various other long board productions.

Features:

- Advanced placement speed: Placement speed increased to 32,000 cph, 18% speed-up compared to previous model (optimum conditions, component height 6mm) due to lighter beam and revised head drive control.

- Improved productivity and capability of large components and diffusion lens: Newly developed screw type nozzle (option) expands the capable component size up to 25 mm diameter, also enabling accurate placement of diffusion lens. It can pick, recognize and place six pieces of diffusion lens in one pass and realize high productivity.

- Long board production up to 1,500 mm – largest board size in industry: The machine corresponds to 650 mm width board in 1 clamp (standard), up to 1,500 mm long board production (option), the largest board size in industry.

- Various supply methods: Users can select electrical or mechanical feeder specification. Rear bank production is available as an option, which is capable of feeders, manual trays, and Matrix Tray Server TR5S (option).
