Juki Offers 3600 7" Reel Storage Capacity
June 30, 2016 | Juki Automation Systems (JAS), Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Juki Automation Systems (JAS), Inc., a world-leading provider of automated assembly products and systems and part of Juki Automation Systems Corporation, is pleased to announce that its ISM UltraFlex 3600 Intelligent Storage System provides automatic kitting for the next run on placement machines. Providing the ultimate flexibility, the system communicates with the placement system when a reel of parts is low.
The ISM UltraFlex 3600 builds on the strengths of its 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 ISM UltraFlex 3600 to store a maximum number of 3600 7"-8mm reels, but can automatically 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 ISM UltraFlex 3600 offers unsurpassed ROI.
Key features include:
- Full MSD control that reports when a parts has been out of the system too long
- Ability to dynamically support 8mm up to 88mm thick cases for any volume on any reel size
- Ability to deliver a minimum of 27 parts and up to 54 parts for kitting
- Ability to communicate across multiple placement vendor platforms

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
