PRIDE Industries, Inc., a social enterprise providing first-rate manufacturing and service solutions to business and government, now can handle board sizes up to 1200 mm with the addition of a JX-100LED from Juki Automation Systems.
PRIDE purchased the Juki JX-100LED pick-and-place machine to complete the company’s prototype service offering. The JX-100LED meets the capability requirements of PRIDE customers’ new technical prototype demands while providing the diverse functionality often needed in the electronics prototyping industry.
With speed in mind, the JX-100LED can place 15,300 chips per hour at IPC 9850 and support the placement of parts from 0201 to 33.5 mm2. Ideal for NPI or prototype production, the JX-100LED is backed by Juki’s full three-year parts warranty supported by the leading service group in the industry.
“The Juki JX-100 LED is a very nice contribution to our prototyping cell,” commented Steve Twitchell, VP Sales Operations, at PRIDE Industries. “It rounds out our prototyping capabilities and services nicely.”
Juki’s JX-100LED is the “must have” machine for low-cost, high-speed LED tube production. Targeted specifically for LED manufacturing, the JX-100LED can support boards up to 800 mm in length and features new algorithms created for the placement of side-view type LEDs, top-view LEDs, rectangular ferrite chip-type and PLCC-type LEDS, making it the ideal low-cost placement solution for LED chips.
