Juki’s strength in the SMT


placement market comes from its renowned core competency in manu- facturing. Juki uses the concentra- tion of product bases for the uniform production system throughout group companies while utilizing digital cell production lines that lead to stable production quality. These efficient production methods help enable the company to continually supply high levels of outstanding products at all times. This production strategy in- cludes centralizing mounter and ac- cessory production into one centrally located facility for quality purposes, allowing the various departments to


interact, ensuring that the company continuously meets and exceeds cus- tomer 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 continuous- ly 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 excel- lent entry-level, low-cost machine that is widely used for prototyping, OEM production and for the expand- ing LED market. The JX series is a


compact mounter that supports the manufacture of up to 1200 mm long circuit boards that enables produc- tion of modern and environmentally friendly LED-based products. The FX series high-speed chip-


shooter combined with the KE series flexible 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 manu- facturing quality and reliability of the equipment is supported with a

ates 38 assessment items relating to the environment at the development stage. Juki recognizes that activities of enterprises are closely related to the global environment and, as a re- sult, makes strong efforts to con- tribute to the local community and society through environmentally- conscious activities; provide people around the world with environmen- tally friendly products; and play an active role to hand down a better global environment to future genera- tions through continuous activities. Juki’s insight into the world of


sewing machine manufacturing be- gan with home machines in 1947. The company added basic industrial machines before advancing to elec- tronic units and eventually to today’s automated sewing systems. The com- pany’s current slogan — “Mind and Technology” — reflects its global phi- losophy of providing customers with the highest quality product and serv- ices according to their specific needs. Juki shipped its first SMT


placement machine in 1987 and by 1993 became the pioneer of the mod- ular assembly line. Since that time, the company has increased the speed of its machines while maintaining the flexibility and high quality for which it is known. In today’s fast-moving produc-


tion environment, diversifying needs and borderless price competition mean that even higher levels of qual- ity and more efficient production are required. In December 2009, Juki completed building its new head- quarters in Tokyo’s Tama City, using a Japanese comprehensive building plan that received an “A” rating for environmental efficiency. This in- vestment in infrastructure repre- sents the company’s understanding of the importance for state-of-the-art technology. The placement technolo- gy center is fully equipped with class 1000 clean rooms for developing hy- brid solutions for SMT and semicon- ductor placement.
