environmentally friendly products; and play an active role to hand down a better global environment to future generations through continuous activities. Juki’s insight into


the world of sewing machine manufacturing began with home machines in 1947. The company progressed to basic industrial machines before advancing to electronic units and eventually to today’s automated sewing systems. The company’s current slogan — “Mind and Technology” — refl ects its global philosophy of providing customers with the highest quality product and services according to their specifi c needs. Juki shipped its fi rst SMT placement machine in 1987


and by 1993 became the pioneer of the modular assembly line. Since that time, the company has increased the speed of its machines while maintaining the fl exibility and high quality for which it is known. In today’s fast-moving production environment,


diversifying needs and borderless price competition mean that even higher levels of quality and more effi cient production are required. In December 2009, Juki completed building its new headquarters in Tokyo’s Tama City, using a Japanese comprehensive building plan that received an “A” rating for environmental effi ciency. This investment in infrastructure represents the company’s understanding of the importance for state-of-the-art technology. The placement technology center is fully equipped with class 1000 clean rooms for developing hybrid solutions for SMT and semiconductor placement. Juki’s strength in the SMT placement market comes


from its renowned core competency in manufacturing. Juki uses the concentration of product bases for the uniform production system throughout group companies while utilizing digital cell production lines that lead to stable production quality. These effi cient production methods help enable the company to continually supply high levels of outstanding products at all times. This production strategy includes centralizing mounter and accessory production into one centrally located facility for quality purposes, allowing the various departments to interact,

ensuring that the company continuously meets and exceeds customer requirements. Today, Juki maintains


its role as the leading innovator of high-quality


products with leading-edge technology that is demanded by an electronics industry that continuously calls for miniaturization, high effi ciencies and low cost. Juki continues to build on its “3E concept” of ease of use, expandability and economical products. The JX series is an excellent entry-level, low-cost machine that is widely used for


prototyping, OEM production and for the expanding LED market. The JX series is a compact mounter that spports the manufacture of up to 1200 mm long circuit boards that enables production of modern and environmentally friendly LED-based products. The FX series high-speed chip-shooter combined with the KE series fl exible mounter has the ability to run high-speed, high-mix production lines that support quick changeover with the use of rugged in-line trolleys supported by industry-leading line optimization software to eliminate production bottlenecks. The manufacturing quality and reliability of the equipment is supported with a full three- year parts warranty for all machines sold in the Americas and Europe. As a result of this warranty, customers do not pay for parts for the fi rst three years of ownership. After that, the average cost is less than $500 per year. The winner of more than 30 industry awards, Juki has built its global image on a combination of top-quality and high- reliability machines with a reputation for world-class service and support that result in the lowest production costs for its customers. Additionally, Juki Automation Systems offers selective solder and stamp soldering machines backed by the largest fi eld service group in the industry. Juki Automation Systems’ President and CEO Bob Black


commented on this milestone, “All of us at Juki want to thank our customers worldwide who have enabled us to reach this 75th anniversary. It is their repeated purchases of our products that is the foundation of our success.” For more information, visit www.jukiamericas.com.
