Molex ensures positioning accuracy of miniature parts with FUJI NXT series pick-and-place machines

Efficiency and quality in production due to precision in placement as well as simplified maintenance processes of placement heads and nozzles

Kelsterbach, July 21, 2021 – Molex CVS Dabendorf GmbH has decided to use the NXT III placement machine from FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH (www.fuji-euro.de). With the modular and scalable placement platform, the company, which is specialized in the development and production of electronic components and solutions, achieves high positioning accuracy and efficiency as well as simplified maintenance processes.

Molex’s electronic products are used, for example, in smartphones, household appliances and connected cars. The Molex CVS Dabendorf GmbH branch manufactures components for the automotive industry, among others. The NXT III from FUJI is used at this site for the placement of very small parts as part of the placement process.

“The automotive sector in particular is highly sensitive. The smallest parts used in mass production must have extreme positioning accuracy and high consistent quality. To meet these challenges, we use the NXT III placement machine, the Smart Nozzle Cleaner and the Auto Head Cleaner from FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION,” explains Joost Voskamp, Dabendorf Maintenance Technician at Molex CVS Dabendorf GmbH.

Speed in placement as well as positioning accuracy

The modular and scalable NXT III placement platform is particularly suitable for the placement of multifunctional and highperformance electronics with, for example, high placement density of tiny components and much more. NXT III is designed for high productivity, placement quality, ease of use and speed – and this with very high flexibility due to its modular design. All this makes it very easy to adapt the machine size and configuration to the current requirements. Accordingly, fast XY robots and feeders are used.

Automated head maintenance

FUJI’s original compact, lightweight placement heads can be replaced on the NXT III without tools. On-site operators can perform offline maintenance and troubleshoot problems.

Molex CVS Dabendorf GmbH also uses the Auto Head Cleaner from FUJI. This tool automates and intensifies head maintenance work, where manual execution, especially for the placement heads used for the smallest chip components, cannot keep up with the extended possibilities offered by the Auto Head Cleaner. The use of the Auto Head Cleaner provides a significant quality improvement in head maintenance. It thoroughly removes any dirt that has been gathered in the airways of the heads and also performs a subsequent inspection. The maintenance history and inspection results are automatically stored in the system.

Joost Voskamp explains: “The new maintenance processes for the highperformance placement heads and nozzles enable us to maintain and operate our machines in parallel, so we can keep production running at all times. The machines enable the placement heads and nozzles to be replaced without great effort. We are also impressed by the modularity of the NXT. We can keep the placement output per square meter very high despite the limited space in our production hall. In addition, the system is designed for the future and can be flexibly expanded.”

Simplest nozzle cleaning and inspection

“Regular cleaning of the nozzles is also essential for a smooth process and corresponding placement quality. This is why Molex uses the Smart Nozzle Cleaner from FUJI,” explains Steffen Enderlein, Area Sales Manager at FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH.

The Smart Nozzle Cleaner not only cleans the nozzles, but also performs an inspection of the nozzle suction surface and a test of the smooth running of the nozzles with springs. Defective nozzles are sorted out separately according to the result. All this is done fully automatically. The operator simply places the nozzle station with the nozzles to be cleaned in the Smart Nozzle Cleaner – complete as removed from the pick-and-place machine without tools – and starts the cleaning program. By using additional nozzle stations, this process takes place offline while the pick-and-place machine is producing.

The maintenance history and inspection results are automatically stored in the system. In addition, the Smart Nozzle Cleaner offers the possibility to store and manage cleaned nozzles inside the unit and also to use them for new setups.

By using the smart factory solution, KATEK is focusing on high productivity and quality through optimized and digitized processes.

KATEK GmbH is one of the largest electronics service providers (EMS) in Germany. At the production sites in Grassau and Györ (Hungary), highly automated large-scale production orders, among other things, can be carried out on the basis of all common certifications. The company relies on process automation in various areas for the benefit of efficiency and high quality. For this reason, KATEK GmbH has decided to install the NXTR-S smart factory platform from FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION at its Grassau site.

Designed by FUJI as an evolution of the proven NXT series (scalable placement platform), the NXTR is designed to free operators from repetitive tasks – while maximizing quality and productivity. The NXTR follows the “3 Zero” strategy: zero placement errors, zero machine operators, zero machine stops.

High savings potential through optimization of existing feeders

The NXTR-S is the first expansion stage of the Smart Factory platform. It relies on new Multi Feeder Units that facilitate and optimize feeder operation. The Manual Mode uses the feeders that are currently already in use at customers of FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH. This has the advantage that no generation change of feeders is required, resulting in a high savings potential.

In addition to the unique features that mark the FUJI products NXTR-S and also NXTIII – such as the one-side operation, exchangeable heads and much more – the following features in particular tipped the scales in favor of the NXTR-S:

  • Increase in productivity due to better exchangeable MFU 52

FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION launches Manual Mode, the first stage of the NXTR smart factory platform

Hohes Einsparpotenzial durch Optimierung der bereits in der Nutzung befind­lichen Feeder und Ermöglichung eines bestmöglichen Durchsatzes

FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION launches Manual Mode, the first stage of the NXTR smart factory platform

11th March 2020 The FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION presents the Manual Mode as the first step in the development of its NXTR. NXTR is a smart factory platform for step-by-step automation and digitization in electronics manufacturing. Solutions for automated, efficient workflows – especially for repeating tasks – are a significant element in Industry 4.0. NXTR aims at the optimization of production preparation and maintenance processes as well as the automation of manual assembly processes for networking and self-optimized production. The “Manual Mode” focuses on the optimization of feeders already in use and is the basis for the best possible throughput.

“The digitalization of processes is on the top of the agenda for many companies in the electronics manufacturing industry. However, Industry 4.0 is not available “off the shelf” but requires gradual implementation. There is no turnkey solution for Industry 4.0. If you start small, you can automate step-by-step, in order to produce self-optimized and autonomously later on. All buttons that no longer need to be pressed on the line are relieved. Those responsible should therefore ask themselves the question which processes can be automated relatively easily in order to achieve a good result quickly,” explains Stefan Janssen, Assistant General Manager of FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH.

Manual Mode as first level of expansion of the NXTR
The Manual Mode is the first step in the evolution of NXTR. It is based on new Multi Feeder Units, which facilitate and optimize the feeder operation. The Manual Mode uses the feeders that are currently already in use by customers of FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH. This has the advantage that there is no need to change the feeder generation, which results in a high savings potential.

This is made possible by the new MFU-47 and MFU-52 Multi Feeder Units, which allow the simultaneous pick-up of two components and thus achieve optimum throughput. When using the MFU-52, the use of only one pick-up position reduces the placement capacity only slightly, but the feeders that can be used simultaneously on one module are increased by 11 percent. The MFU makes handling noticeably easier. It is a unit that does not consist of two separate parts – the feeder pallet and the pallet change unit. This makes it fundamentally different from previous generations.

The „3 Zero“-Concept
The Manual Mode is the launch of the Smart Factory platform NXTR. It was designed by FUJI as a further development of the proven NXT series (scalable placement platform) and is designed to free the operator from repetitive tasks – with maximum quality and productivity. The NXTR follows the “3 Zero” strategy: zero placement errors, zero machine operators, zero machine stops.

These advantages are mainly achieved by the following developments: With a newly developed sensor technology, a stable and high quality placement can be guaranteed. The NXTR platform completely automates the feeder exchange process for the first time. Placement heads and other units can be exchanged without tools. Foresighted maintenance is made possible by a self-diagnosis system that prevents sudden machine stops from affecting the production schedule.

“The primary goal in electronics production is to completely avoid placement errors and machine stops and to enable more efficient and independent work. The goals of our NXTR are extensive simplifications in the working environment, more efficient production, and increased work safety. With the Manual Mode we are taking the first step in this direction”, explains Stefan Janssen.

Assembly processes at high speed: New sFAB-Alpha from FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION

Kompakte Maschine für die Backend-Automation –
extrem schnelle Handhabung von Axial-/Radial-Bauteilen und Jumper

Assembly processes at high speed: New sFAB-Alpha from FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION

Kelsterbach, 27th. February 2020 – The automation of processes after the SMT phase can now be implemented at very high speed. FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH has launched a new multifunctional placement platform for this production phase: The sFAB-Alpha combines the functionality of three machines in one and supports the integrated handling of several types of parts. It efficiently assembles axial/radial components and jumpers. The sFAB-Alpha takes up little space, reduces workload and ensures faster changeover times.

FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH, specialist for highly flexible placement systems in high-mix up to complete placement lines in high-volume, presents with the sFAB-Alpha a new innovation for backend automation. The mixed placement platform enables the integrated handling of several part types (radial parts, axial parts and jumpers) in one compact machine. This 3-in-1 principle increases utilization, saves time for changeover as well as space and installation or operating costs.

All-in-One-Solution for fast automated processes

The compact sFAB-Alpha requires only 25 percent of the space of a conventional machine. It is designed to automate manual assembly work and at the same time achieve high productivity and top quality. It offers immediate support for variable mix or variable volume production. The platform works with freely combinable parts supply units. The required units are set up according to production requirements. This significantly reduces the amount of work involved. Shorter and more efficient changeover times are also possible.

“The main reason for machine stops is the replacement of parts. If part types need to be replaced, the process can take a considerable amount of time. The sFAB-Alpha supports offline exchange and stack exchange of feeders. This makes it possible to change the feeders in a batch using the feeder carriage feeding method. In this way, parts can be exchanged in the shortest possible time. In addition, the speed of processes can be significantly increased by optimizing the cycle balance in the line,” explains Stefan Janssen, Assistant General Manager of FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH. The sFAB-Alpha communicates with the Nexim software system provided by FUJI. Since it is possible to use shared panel and parts data, the time required for order creation can be reduced.
