Fuji Machine Manufacturing has developed the new DynaHead (HX) and HexaFeeder for its electronic component mounting machines. DynaHeads are supported on AIMEX II and AIMEX IIS machines while HexaFeeders are supported on NXT II, NXT III machines as well as AIMEX-series machines.
DynaHead is a versatile, high-speed placing head that automatically switches the tool being used during production between the high-speed 12-nozzle tool, the 4-nozzle general purpose tool, and the large odd-form part single nozzle tool.
HexaFeeders allow users to set six 8 mm tapes in the space of four 8 mm tape feeders, effectively increasing the loadable quantity of parts by 50%.
A single DynaHead can support parts from the smallest 0402 (01005”) chips up to 74 x 74 mm (100 x 32) with heights up to 25,4 mm. In addition, it can flexibly support sudden production plan changes in which the ratio of small to large parts changes with the synergistic characteristics of HexaFeeders.
The DynaHead is scheduled to be supported by Fuji’s NXT III and the company also plans to develop a glue tool for this head.
