Juki recently released the FX-3R high-speed modular mounter. The newest model in the series, the FX-3R has significantly higher production capacity than its predecessor, the FX-3. Through design improvements to both hardware and software, the new machine realises a production capacity of 90 000 CPH (0,040 seconds/chip under optimal conditions).
The FX-3R is equipped with new linear servo motors in the X and Y axes to drive the heads. Additionally, by reducing the weight of the head and updating the head design with a more rigid structure, placement speed has been increased. Improvements have also been made in the optimisation software to increase the efficiency of actual placement operation. Through these improvements, the new system manages to be 21% faster than the FX-3. Supporting large boards up to 610 x 560 mm (XL board specification) as a standard feature, the FX-3R offers an optional feature to produce a long board up to 800 mm wide, mainly used for LED lighting.
The machine inherits the hybrid tape feeder feature which was first incorporated into the previous model. This allows it to accept both electric and mechanical tape feeders in one machine. In combination with the KE-3020 high-speed flex mounter, the FX-3R creates a high-speed production line capable of meeting a variety of manufacturing needs.
