High-speed component mounting machine

5 August 2009 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

The successor to Juki’s KE-2060, the KE-2080 is a sixth generation high-speed modular flexible mounter.

Built upon the one-piece SuperCast single casting base that includes the Y beams, the KE-2080 is designed for speed, accuracy and reliability. Combined with the new LNC-60 high-resolution 360° component laser centring system and an improved magnascale resolution down to 1 μm, the machine is 25% more accurate than previous models and capable of placing down to 01005 components.

A new head design featuring six nozzles reduces the number of required nozzle changes, improving the rated IPC-9850 speed to 15 400 components per hour. This new design also increases the maximum component size that can be placed to 33,5 x 33,5 mm. A separate head is available on the machine for placement of components after inspection from an upward looking camera. The component range for this head is 74 x 74 mm or 50 x 150 mm.

A new multinozzle vision centring system (MNVC) is available for use with the KE-2080. This system enables the machine to inspect leaded or BGA parts via an upward looking camera on all heads for placement.

The KE-2080 introduces the Load Cell option that gives the machine the ability to measure nozzle placement force necessary for high accuracy, stackable and fluxing applications. The machine also introduces new stepper motors in the conveyor system that allow for enhanced speed control for the entire conveyor. The motion control communications have been upgraded from serial communications to fibre-optics, resulting in fewer and smaller cables with increased speed. A USB port is also available as a means of communication to and from the machine.

The KE-2080 has been designed for compatibility with existing Juki feeders, trolleys and software.
