Juki Automation Systems (JAS), Inc., a world-leading provider of automated assembly products and systems and part of Juki Corporation, along with Inertec Soldering Technologies, are pleased to announce that they have been awarded a 2014 NPI Award in the category of Soldering – Selective for the CUBE.460 Selective Soldering System. The award was presented to the companies during a Tuesday, March 25, 2014 ceremony that took place at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center during the IPC APEX EXPO.

The CUBE.460 sets the new standard for mini-wave soldering systems. The unique 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. It supports an easy-to-use exchangeable solder pot for dual alloys. The CUBE.460 comes equipped with many standard features that include heated nitrogen at the soldering nozzle, 0° and 7° soldering to accommodate various types of nozzles including wetted nozzle tips and non-wetted nozzles, a live viewing camera and fast reacting Quartz IR bottom side pre-heater to name a few.
