Juki’s KE-3020 Demonstrates Success After Its Release

The KE-3020 adds a seventh high-resolution nozzle for handling larger parts and uses a three-color vision centering system, featuring bottom, side and back lighting that can view all ball and split recognition images for quick and accurate placement. Additionally, the KE-3020 has an IPC9850 rated speed of 2,200 cph for IC components when using the advanced vision centering /effective tact system and 5,800 cph for IC components using advanced vision centering with the Multi-Nozzle Vision Centering (MNVC) option.

The KE-3020 is compatible with all current Juki feeders and trolleys, resulting in seamless installations into existing Juki lines. It features powerful line optimization software and rugged trolley carts that make changeover quick and easy. The KE-3020 also features an auto-pick correction feature that minimizes 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. This method is much faster and more accurate than manual data entry.

Juki manufactures high-quality SMT placement systems for use in the electronics manufacturing industry. Renowned for producing reliable, flexible placement equipment that is easy to use and maintain, Juki has recently emerged as a significant player in the high-speed market. As the pioneer of the modular placement machine in the early 1990s, Juki has increased the speed of its machines while maintaining quick changeovers and high uptimes. Juki also is the first SMT placement manufacturer to offer a standard three-year full parts warranty on machines sold in the Americas and Europe.
