Juki’s new KE-1070/KE-1080 modular placement systems are built using the same topology as the popular KE-2070/KE-2080 machines that have had tremendous success in the marketplace. The KE-1070 has a four-nozzle head with a rated IPC9850 speed of 15,500CPH and a component placement range from 01005 (0402 metric) to 33.5mm2. The KE-1080 adds a fifth nozzle to handle larger parts and uses a tri-colored advanced vision system featuring blue, green, and red LEDs for accurate placement of fine-pitch ICs, connectors, and odd-shaped components. Additionally, the KE-1080 has an IPC9850 rated speed of 14,100CPH for chips, and 3,400 CPH for IC components when using the advanced lighting system. The effective component placement range for the KE-1080 is 01005 (0402 metric) to 74mm2 or 50 x 150mm.
The FlexSolder W510 inline uses proven technology but with a new flexible design, allowing the machine to be upgraded in the field with a complete option set as soldering needs or alloys change. Juki maintains a distinct advantage over selective soldering machines from competitors’ with the ability to have multiple mini-wave nozzles soldering simultaneously, or even better, running separately with two different sized nozzles.
