Juki’s KE-1070 is a modular placement system intended to meet the need for reliable, cost-efficient placement solutions for the mid-range market.
The machine 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. To ensure repeatability, accuracy and reliability, the system uses the LNC60 optical centring laser that is built into the head to measure components while moving from the pick 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 centring 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 is compatible with all current Juki feeders and trolleys, resulting in seamless installations into existing Juki lines. The mounter features powerful line optimisation software and rugged trolley carts that make changeover quick and easy. It also features 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, which is faster and more accurate than manual data entry.
