Juki has announced the release of its KE-1070/KE-1080 modular placement systems that are intended to meet the need for reliable, cost-efficient placement solutions for the mid-range market. The systems are built using the same topology as the already established KE-2070/KE-2080 machines.
The KE-1070 has a four-nozzle head with a rated IPC9850 speed of 15 500 CPH and a component placement range from 01005 (0402 metric) to 33,5 mm². The KE-1080 adds a fifth nozzle to handle larger parts and uses a tri-coloured 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 14 100 CPH for chips, and 3400 CPH for IC components when using the advanced lighting system. The effective component placement range for the KE-1080 is 01005 (0402 metric) to 74 mm² or 50 x 150 mm.
The machines use the LNC60 optical centring laser that is built into the head to measure components while moving from the pick site to the placement site. This eliminates the need to move to a stationary or line scan camera, creating an efficient method of component measurement centring. The LNC60 is not affected by the colour of a part and can easily transfer a part profile back to the database. Other important features of the LNC60 laser include the ability to detect the exact height of the nozzle tip, bent nozzle detection and a tombstone pick check. Additionally, the laser ensures that a component is present before placement and that the component has been placed successfully.
The KE-1070 and KE-1080 are compatible with all current Juki feeders and trolleys. The mounters feature powerful line optimisation software and rugged trolley carts that make changeover quick and easy. They also feature an auto-pick correction feature that minimises setup time and ensures accurate picking of even the smallest components, as well as a BGA auto-teach feature that allows the operator to automatically learn the ball or lead pattern on BGAs and QFPs.
