Juki offers a new lineup of popular selective soldering equipment � the FlexSolder Series. Comprised of three models, the FlexSolder W510 is a mini-wave that handles boards up to 510 x 510 mm.
FlexSolder W510 uses the same selective soldering technology that has been successful in the past but with a new flexible design that allows the machine to be assembled anywhere, and to allow complete option upgrades in the field.
The advantage of Juki's selective soldering machines over competitors remains the same as in past machines, i.e. the ability to have multiple mini-wave nozzles soldering simultaneously or even running separately using two different size nozzles. The benefit is that a nozzle as small as 1.8 mm can be used for tight areas (1 mm away from SMD or other components) on densely populated boards and a larger nozzle for making single passes on large connectors. This adds much needed flexibility to the process, allowing various soldering options with no changeover.
Juki Corporation's experience as the market leader in industrial sewing machines was the stepping-stone�for the�entry into the printed circuit board assembly market in 1987. Since then, Juki has delivered more than 20,000 automated assembly systems worldwide and is currently shipping an average of 200+�assembly machines per month. This extraordinary achievement makes Juki one of the world's�leading providers of automated assembly products and systems. In addition to�its core technologies, Juki's Electronic Assembly and Test Systems Division develops and manufactures advanced electronic systems and computer software for data entry, mail processing and other electronic equipment.
With the purchase of Zevatech's assets in November 1999, Juki Automation Systems now brings Juki's reputation for top quality and reliable service also�to the North�and South American and the European electronics assembly markets. Juki recognizes the challenges of the new century and is prepared to respond to the globalization of electronic manufacturing. With a sophisticated knowledge base, advanced technologies and a high commitment to its customers, Juki is poised for continued growth in the 21st century.
