Because the traceability of products down to individual components is gaining more and more importance and cannot be avoided at all in some areas, Juki offers the IFS-X2 upgrade as a solution for the MTC. This is an enhancement on the successful IFS-X2. Each JEDEC tray is provided with a barcode clip and is matched with a suitable position in the magazine. If the palette with the tray proceeds to the component pick-up position, it is automatically checked with an RFID label as to whether the correct component is in place. Thus faulty mounting is prevented. All components taken from the tray are automatically entered into the database with the associated information for traceability. Therefore, it is possible to determine in which production batch, on which circuit board and with which reference ID the component in question was mounted, without high expenditure and at a later time too.
