MORRISVILLE, NC — Juki Corporation, a world-leading provider of automated assembly products and systems, announces that it will introduce its 350E Selective Soldering System to the electronics industry in booth 817 at the upcoming Nepcon East exhibition and conference, scheduled to take place April 30-May 1, 2008 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in Boston.

The Juki 350E is a complete low cost, high-level package ready for lead-free production offering high reliability and industry-leading service and support features. It comes standard with an X,Y, Z and A axis servo drive system and is fully equipped with all of the functionality necessary to begin production immediately. The system includes a soldering unit that features forced hot air nitrogen pre-heat at the mini-wave nozzle. Nitrogen pre-heat limits dross build up, opening the process window and reducing maintenance. An innovative nitrogen management system is used to reduce nitrogen consumption.

Other standard features of the Juki 350E include: a spray fluxer or micro-dot drop jet fluxer mounted on an individual A axis servo drive, a 5 liter pressurized flux tank, an exchangeable quick exchange mini-wave nozzle from 4mm to 30mm in diameter (custom nozzles are available by request), an exchangeable lead-free ready solder pot with 110 lb. capacity, an auto feeder solder roll for maintaining solder pot feed level, a wave height on/off control feature, online/offline programming software that can accept images such as JPG, BMP, TIF, as well as Gerber files for easy programming with a simple to use GUI, and a float sensor for keeping constant levels of solder in the pot at all times.

The 350E is available with a dual nozzle, dual fluxing capability allowing different types of nozzles to be utilized on a single board. This feature makes the 350E the most flexible machine in its price range. Also available on the 350E is an endoscope process camera that allows for viewing the process live and in real time to ensure quality soldering of each board.

The 350E Selective Soldering System is a result of the partnership of Soldercom, Inertec, and Juki

who have teamed up to design and manufacture, sell, and service selective soldering products of the highest quality, reliability and innovation. The 350E is supported by the experienced and highly trained Juki service group, providing the largest service coverage in the Selective Soldering industry in North America.
