The KE-2080 together with the KE-2070 is the sixth generation of Juki multipurpose mounters.

At the Nepcon show in Birmingham, UK from 15th to 17th May, Juki will display the new KE-2080 along with an FX-1R machine The KE-2080 together with the KE-2070 is the sixth generation of Juki multipurpose mounters

The new head has six nozzles with laser align function and in addition a standard IC head for fine-pitch components.

This new generation machine is 23% faster than its predecessors with an IPC9850 speed of 15,400 components per hour.

The new machine offers users a wider parts handling range from 01005 placement capability (0402 in metric) up to 74mm square components or 50 x 150mm.

A new concept in component centring that is capable of on-the-fly centring of six components simultaneously is available as standard: LNC60 laser align sensor.

It offers higher accuracy with the use of a powerful new algorithm and a simple and robust structure.

The sensor includes an internal control system and, by communicating with the main CPU via IEEE1394, cabling is minimised.

Additionally, the KE-2080 features speed improvements by using step motors to control the input and output buffer conveyors.

The new nozzle head effectively reduces the number of nozzle changes required in production.

Easy to use, the KE-2080 offers compatibility with data, feeders, nozzles and feeder trolleys across the full Juki range.

The KE-2080 also features improvements in the user-friendly graphical interface while still maintaining the ease of use and continuity of previous Juki models.

Head filters can be more easily accessed to help keep preventive maintenance to a minimum.

Focusing on high throughput and precise component centring, the FX-1R is equipped with a double head system driven by two independent linear motors that create both high-speed and precise positional accuracy.

Both quadruple heads have a multiple-nozzle alignment system using a high-resolution laser developed exclusively for Juki's assembly systems.

This unique technology simultaneously measures four different components in width, length and height.

Additionally, in-flight measurement eliminates idle time.

The chip shooter features a placement rate of 27,000 components per hour (IPC9850), and a component range from 0201 (inch) to 11 x 26.5 to 20 x 20mm.

Additionally, the system consistently has a placement accuracy of +/-50um (3 Sigma).
