Juki to Showcase Its UltraFlex 3600 Intelligent Storage System and Launch a New X-ray Platform during SMTAI
August 31, 2016 | Juki Automation Systems (JAS), Inc.Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
Juki Automation Systems (JAS), Inc., a world-leading provider of automated assembly products and systems and part of Juki Automation Systems Corporation, today announced plans to exhibit in Booth #213 at SMTA International, scheduled to take place September 27-28, 2016 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. Juki will showcase the UltraFlex 3600 Intelligent Storage System that provides automatic kitting for the next run on placement machines, and showcase the CUBE.460, RX-6R/RX-6B and GL Screen Printer. The company also will demonstrate its new X-ray platform for the first time.
The ISM UltraFlex 3600 offers the utmost in flexibility, storage capacity, intelligence and ROI in the industry. It can communicate across a wide variety of vendor platforms. Capable of providing up to 54 reels for production simultaneously, the ISM3600 can read low parts, warning to output the required reel in advance. With the capability to grow reels up to 88mm in height, the ISM3600 is the next piece in building out your smart factory.
The new AXI 5100C X-ray component counter uses X-ray technology and sophisticated algorithms for counting a reel of components in as little as seven seconds. It can interface with inventory management software to transfer the count instantly.
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.
JAS will show the new RX-6R/RX-6B High-Speed Compact Modular Mounter built on the same platform as the proven, reliable RX-6. The new compact system has a width of just 1.25m and the new head design results in increased placement speed over the previous model. Replaceable heads allow user to configure a production line best suited to the current requirements.
The GL Fully Automatic Screen Printer enables users to achieve 01005 (0402 metric) printing utilizing a patented mathematical calculating algorithm to ensure the machine’s high accuracy print alignment. Additionally, the system features a patented PCB Flexible Auto Clamp (FAC) system and Stencil Position Memory (SPM) function for easy and quick change-over.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
