The high-resolution laser centering system continues the company’s core technologies of automatic nozzle detection, ensuring the correct nozzle is in use, and component presence monitoring that monitors the presence of the part from pick to place. These features are built into the head making a side trip to a camera unnecessary. A new multi-nozzle vision centering system (MNVC) is available. It allows the chip shooter to be capable of inspecting leaded or BGA parts via an upward looking camera for placement, adding to the versatility of the machine. The high speed modular chip shooter introduces stepper motors in the conveyor system that allow for enhanced speed control for the entire conveyor. The motion control communications have been upgraded from serial communications to fiber optic communications, resulting in fewer and smaller cables with increased speed. A USB port is available as a means of communication to and from the machine. The chip shooter has been designed to be compatible with existing Juki feeders, trolleys and software.
