"The flexibility of the KE-2020 allows fast changing production environments, like those seen in our contract manufacturing customers, to continually produce a wide variety of jobs in less time," said Juki's Director of Technical Services Chris Lawing. He added, "There isn�t another machine on the market in this price range that offers this kind of flexibility in this size.
The KE-2020's multi-nozzle laser head places 11,000 CPH including 0201s. Also equipped with the Super H-Drive gantry system with dual motors for the X and Y axes. Both placement heads have individual motors to control the Z and theta axes, which simultaneously centers parts for faster cycle time.
The fine-pitch head utilizes Juki's unique vision centering system, featuring FlexLighting, which illuminates all sides of a component for precision identification and placement of odd shaped components. The KE-2020 is also equipped with All-Ball Recognition, which detects faulty or defective balls and rejects any flawed components before entering production.
When configured with Juki's KE-2010 high-speed flexible chip shooters, the KE-2020 allows for a high-volume, high-mix and highly flexible automated assembly line.
