Valtronic buys Juki Equipment at IPC APEX EXPO
Valtronic used 2016 IPC APEX EXPO to purchase Juki equipment for its Solon, Ohio-based location. Valtronic purchased the TR6DNR-D Matrix Tray Changer along with additional tape feeders. The company will use the tray changer to duplicate its second JUKI SMT Line, enabling Valtronic to run various products and allowing various feeders and overall efficiency to the production line.
Juki’s Matrix tray changers are part of a modular product line that can be matched to customers’ exact requirements, providing the optimum combination of productivity, flexibility and reliability with the lowest cost of ownership. The TR-6 is equipped with a dual shuttle that brings the components to the head for picking. The big advantage of this system is that no feeder space is lost. Components with a minimum flat surface of 5x5 mm can be picked with a vacuum nozzle. Other rectangular components such as BGA,FBGA and connectors with a minimum outline of 17x17 mm will be handled mechanically.
