Juki Introduces Feeder Refurbishment Program

MORRISVILLE, NC - June 2009 - Juki Corporation, a world-leading provider of automated assembly products and systems, announces that, in a continuing effort to offer the Lowest Cost of Ownership to its customers, it has started a Feeder Refurbishment Program designed to inspect, repair and calibrate existing feeders at minimal cost and quick turn around for its customers.

As part of this program the company also will offer fully refurbished Juki feeders for sale at a very competitive market price.

Top feeder performance is essential to running production at peak efficiency. Properly maintained feeders will improve line performance and reduce changeover time by:

• increasing the capability to gang pick parts

• reducing the number of component mispicks

• eliminating the need to manually teach feeder pick positions

• correcting feeder advancement problems.

As part of the program, a certified Juki technician will inspect all feeders. Any parts deemed in need of replacement or repair will be replaced by new Juki parts. Finally, feeders will be calibrated within Juki's specification using the latest feeder calibration equipment.

For more information about this program, contact Juki at 1-800-938-2209 ext. 153 or e-mail jukifeederdepot@jas-smt.com.
