lated high reliability microelectron- ics are goals for Valtronic, a company headedquarterd in Valley de Joux, Switzerland and with facilities in the United States and Morocco. Cus- tomers include leading global suppli- ers of medical implants and devices, diagnostic imaging equipment, and sensitive aerospace and industrial assemblies. For more than 30 years, Valtronic has helped hundreds of companies develop and produce Class II and III medical devices and advanced miniaturized electronic as- semblies in its worldwide facilities. The company aligns itself with forward-thinking, experienced, reli- able partners with a goal of becoming a world-recognized partner for inno- vative personal healthcare devices. For example, when the US facility, based in Solon, OH, expanded from 25,000 sq. ft. to 68,000 sq. ft., JUKI Automation Systems (www.juki-
americas.com) partnered with Val- tronic to provide assistance in its commitment to manufacturing inno- vations. According to Valtronic Pres- ident, Jay Wimer, “We analyzed sev- eral competitors and it became ap- parent that JUKI provided the equipment with the placement rate and quality to support the current and future growing business needs
E
ngineering, industrialization, and manufacturing of high- quality medical devices and re-
while keeping us ahead of our compe- tition.”
New Juki Equipment This is Valtronic’s first pur-
chase of JUKI equipment, even though the firm has had a relation- ship with JUKI’s independent sales
lines in support of its surface mount technology (SMT), both installed at the end of April 2014. Each line in- cludes a precision JUKI K3 fully au- tomatic screen printer, a JUKI high- speed flexible parts placer KE-3020 VLN, and a JUKI RS800 eco-friendly reflow oven.
metric) printing accuracy. The print- er was designed to handle require- ments of different pressures on the front and rear squeegees and of the squeegee’s leveling stability, helping to prevent solder paste leakage. In addition, the K3 screen printer offers a two-dimensional (2D) solder paste inspection system that immediately identifies any solder paste deposition defects at critical locations. The KE-3020 VLN high-speed
parts placer is a flexible system for high-density parts placement. From placing a wide range of components such as 01005s (0402) and integrated circuits (ICs) to odd-form devices, the system achieves high accuracy and speed. Placement speeds range up to 17,100 chips per hour (CPH) (vision centering/effective tact). The multi- ple-nozzle laser head includes six nozzles plus one high-resolution head. Component sizes range from 01005 to 47 x 47mm components. The eco-friendly RS series re-

nitrogen gas (N2) back to its oven chamber, the reflow oven reduces thermal loss while getting better flux reclamation.
