One JUKI RS 1000 nitrogen oven covers the whole production of three SMT assembly lines at FERCAD Elektronik

The very successful medium-sized EMS service provider from North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany continuously invests in new production equipment. That is why the old mounters from a Korean provider were replaced with three new lines by JUKI during the last two years.

Zollner Elektronik AG relies on integral manufacturing systems with integrated intelligence and traceability by JUKI

"We bought our first JUKI assembly line a few years ago. At that time we were especially thrilled by the LED placement in terms of different software solutions for the binning subject as well as the LED handling. During the last four years JUKI has proven that they are in a league of their own regarding their systems long-term quality and lowest cost of ownership. Now the same decision was pending, as we have been developing out technology continuously. Today we trust in complete manufacturing systems with fully integrated intelligence and traceability. Nowadays the cost structure of the systems plays a more important role. JUKI has further improved the past last years and now offers complete production solutions."

With the help of JUKI assembly machines, Tesat-Spacecom GmbH & Co. KG produces PCBs which endure the tough challenges of missions in space

The requirements for quality, traceability and the First Yield Pass are very high in the SMT production of Tesat-Spacecom, located in Backnang, Germany. The whole production is subject to the strictest norms worldwide set by the space agencies and fulfils the ECSS standard of the European Space Agency - ESA. In the course of renewing the assembly machines, Tesat was on the lookout for a partner who could help meet the complex criteria and would contribute to an intensive cooperation.

Our cutomer portrait - Digital Elektronik, Austria

To describe the company Digital Elektronik, headquartered in the province of Salzburg, in one sentence is hardly possible. Today, the company sums up its forty-year history with the slogan 'Performing Excellence'. Slightly less polished, Digital Elektronik could also be called a real problem solver around mechatronics. "You could say that many of our customers have all failed somewhere else before they came to us," is how Johannes Hainzl, one of the two managing directors, sums it up.

Balance between productivity and flexibility

NES – an EMS provider based in Naples, Italy – has fully modernised the hardware and software of its assembly production line. The installation of the first SMD pick-and-place machine – an RS-1 equipped with a Takumi Head – took place about one year ago, followed by another five models of the rapid, intelligent and modular all-rounder as well as IFS-NX traceability software. I-Tronik, JUKI‘s Italian sales partner from Padua, was in charge of the systems‘ installation and commissioning.

Robert Virant, Director and owner of VIP-Virant, explains: "After concentrating on German products that are already in use in many places of the automotive electronics industry, JUKI presented us with an entire production concept. My team was ecstatic. JUKI not only guaranteed all benchmark data for a top automotive quality assembly, but also continuous quality control of under 30 dpm, a guaranteed line output, traceability integration from the laser marker through to the finished product, the whole coordination from one single source and their support not only until the approval but lasting the whole service life of the systems. This was further emphasised by reference to the 3-year warranty."
