FUJI MACHINE MFG. (EUROPE) GmbH starts construction work for the new business building in Kelsterbach

FUJI MACHINE MFG. (EUROPE) GmbH celebrated today the ground-breaking ceremony for the new business building at industrial area Staudenaecker, close to the Suedpark of Kelsterbach. In addition to the management team of FUJI MACHINE EUROPE and TAKENAKA EUROPE GmbH, invited guests from the city of Kelsterbach as well as the press took part in the celebration at the site. The ground-breaking ceremony was held in Japanese traditional symbolism.

FUJI MACHINE EUROPE is since 1991 a direct subsidiary of the Japanese FUJI MACHINE MFG. CO., LTD. working on the european market. The group has already been managing european customers from the Rhine-Main area a decade ago.

“At that time, the Group operated an office in Kelsterbach. In one year from today, we are moving back to Kelsterbach and realizing a long-cherished wish,” so Klaus Gross, Managing Director of FUJI MACHINE MFG. (EUROPE) GmbH.

Kelsterbach is a city in the heart of the Rhine-Main region and is as a business location very popular with its proximity to Frankfurt am Main airport. The city has a number of commercial areas and settlements. More than a thousand companies are registered here. “With the arrival of FUJI MACHINE EUROPE in our city, our location is enriching. We warmly welcome you and will appreciate you at Fujiallee in the future,” said Mayor Manfred Ockel, symbolically presenting the new road name.

Today, the european head office has about 60 employees and has been located in Mainz-Kastel since its foundation. As a strong and competent partner, FUJI MACHINE EUROPE can look back on more than 25 years of best service and sales support in the area of electronic placement systems for full-line suppliers.

“The new building is designed to achieve a growth factor of 1.5,” adds Bernd P. Buetzler, Managing Director of TAKENAKA EUROPE GmbH. Due to the positive business development and considerably expanded activities in Europe, an expansion of the business building had become inevitable.”As a planning and executing general contractor, we are very pleased to be able to carry out the new project for FUJI MACHINE EUROPE in the city of Kelsterbach.”

The modern business building includes office premises as well as showroom and warehouse. FUJI MACHINE EUROPE has the opportunity to grow innovatively and forward-looking – both technologically and in terms of staff.

Together with Mayor Manfred Ockel, Messrs Gross and Buetzler presented the cleansing of the plot in a symbolic act. At the four outer corners of the future building were spread, salt, against negative influences, rice, for good results, and sake, as thanks to god. Subsequently, the gentlemen made the first cut of the ground, the KUWA-IRE, for a safe construction and a brilliant future of the new business building of FUJI MACHINE EUROPE.

A successful partnership over 30 years

Statement from Jabil Corporate about Fuji as their long term key supplier (Nov 2016):

Since the advent of mainstream SMT in the 1980’s, our industry has come a long way. From the standard chip package size in the 80’s being 1206 and larger, to now where we consistently see 0402 and smaller.

50+ years in manufacturing machine tools, coupled with Jabil’s roadmap direction, Fuji has been able to supply solutions to the industry that have outperformed many of their competitors.

Fuji has been a key Supplier of placement systems to Jabil. They have supported Jabil through times of rapid expansion of high volume and higher technology products. It shows how Fuji and Jabil have enjoyed a great working relationship & growth during that time.

As Fuji has been a major part in our success as a world leader in electronic assembly, we would like to recognize Fuji as a “Preferred Supplier” and say thank you for the past 30 years and we hope to enjoy many more years in this partnership.

As we move forward with our development of the “Factory of the Future”, SMT placement will be an integral component and we believe Fuji will be well placed for supporting this initiative.

Introducing the Fuji Flexible Placement Platform AIMEX III

In regard to the placement processes used for electronic circuit boards, there are ever growing calls for high-mix, as well as variable-mix and variable-volume production in order to keep up with changes in the marketplace.

In order to meet these demands, Fuji developed the flexible and expandable AIMEX IIIc, which was announced in October 2015. On this occasion we would like to announce the release of the AIMEX III, a machine built with the same concepts as the AIMEX IIIc, as well as the ability to produce large panels.

 

Product features

  • Optimal for high-mix production
    It has an industry top class in loadable number of parts with up to 130 part supply positions. AIMEX III also enables you to increase the loadable number approximately 1.5 times more by using HexaFeeders, offering flexible responses to variations in the quantity of supplied parts. Furthermore, using a DynaHead (DX) makes it possible for a single machine to support a wide range of part sizes from 0402 (01005″) parts* to 74 x 74 mm parts.
    *0402 (01005″) parts: Electronic components 0.4 x 0.2 mm in size
  • Support for variable-mix, variable-volume production
    This machine can be set with a coplanarity check function which detects defects on parts before placement as well as the LCR check function. This enables users to build quality in the production process even for variable-mix variable-volume production.
  • Large panel support
    Panels up to 774 x 710 mm can be produced. A double conveyor configuration is also possible, allowing for production using many different panel types and production modes.
  • Easy-to-use, on-machine editing function
    12-inch touch screens improve usability on AIMEX III.
    Ramping up production for new products and responding to errors can now be handled faster than ever with on-machine editing.
  • Improved productivity
    Productivity is better with the high speed head H24, providing a throughput of 37,000 cph* in high productivity mode with a placing accuracy of ±38 μm.
    *Cph: Chips per hour, the quantity of parts possible to be placed per hour

50,000 NXT modules have been shipped

Fuji Machine Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has shipped its 50,000th NXT module. This goal was reached just two years after the 40,000 module milestone and represents a great achievement for all those involved in the development, manufacture, sales and support of the NXT.

Sales of the NXT started in 2003. The series has a revolutionary modular concept in which the platform is split between modules and bases, and features lightweight compact heads which can be exchanged in seconds without tools. These have helped to make the NXT series the flagship model of the SMT market.

The current NXT III supports world class quality levels with 25 µm placing accuracy and 0.5 N placement impact values, as well as being able to handle advanced placing technology such as placing 0201 mm sized parts. This machine has excellent surface area productivity with its compact design, and a whole new level of versatility is provided by using the DynaHead.

Fuji will continue to develop machines that amaze and inspire customers based on our original concepts and world-leading technology.

NXT III Wins Prestigious Japan Robot Award

Fuji’s Scalable Placement Platform NXT III has been announced as the winning robot in the 6th Robot Awards, a competition organized by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Japan Machinery Federation which was created to recognize the most outstanding robots for their present and future potential contribution to creating new markets.
To receive this award in a country renowned for its advanced robot technology is an extremely proud honor for Fuji.
The NXT III is an electronic component mounter featuring a modular design and heads which can be easily exchanged based on the size of components to be mounted, thus maintaining high productivity of the equipment at all times. The NXT III uses automatic correction technology such as image capture and image processing to achieve high overall system accuracy, and is a showcase for Japan’s high-level production technology, commanding at least a 30% share of the global high-speed, high-accuracy mounter market.
Even though more than 10 years have passed since the initial release of the NXT series, the modular concept has lost none of its appeal and continues to receive acclaim from customers around the world.
The winning NXT III will be on display at Japan Robot Week 2014, which is being held from October 15 at Tokyo Big Sight (Tokyo international exhibition center). A demonstration of the NXT III mounting the latest ultra small 0.2 x 0.1 mm components will be performed at the exhibition.
We hope that you can take this chance to see the advanced concepts of the NXT III being put into action.

Fuji will continue to develop machines which meet our customers’ needs head on.
