The newly deployed system delivers improved precision, flexibility, and productivity. With two independent soldering heads and inline integration, it streamlines throughput and supports conveyor board sizes up to 460 × 460 mm (~18 × 18 in)—key for high-mix, high-reliability production across medical, defense, aerospace, and industrial markets. It builds on core Juki capabilities such as servo-driven XY and flux axes, ActiveFlow solder circulation, and multiple nozzle support for board and component variability.
“Our first Juki Cube 460 has proven itself to be workhorse, so adding the inline model was a natural step forward,” commented Robert H. Donovan, CEO of DISTRON. “The Cube Inline gives us twice the headroom, tighter process control, and faster changeovers—essential as we continue to grow in sectors demanding zero-defect soldering.”
The platform offers advanced features including offline programming, high‑precision servo motion, fiducial recognition, and full nitrogen support to reduce oxidation and improve joint consistency. Its modular architecture supports ActiveFlow modules, quick-change solder pots, and nozzle configurations to enable efficient transitions between different paint profiles and alloy types.
The upgrade reinforces the company’s commitment to lean, high-quality electronics manufacturing using trusted automation technologies. With selective soldering now fully automated and scalable, DISTRON can deliver complex assemblies faster, more accurately, and with industry-leading consistency.
