JM-10 is for radial and axial component mounting. Feeders are compatible with all Juki machine types. Has a footprint of 1.5m. Components do not experience mechanical wear. During component measurement, body dimension is checked, and every lead is inspected. Twisted leads are recognized by the system; the affected component is not selected for assembly. Vibrating bowl feeder has capacity for up to six different components; each machine can place a max. of 12 different bulk components. For taped components, radial feeders are available. Between seven and 10 feeders can be set at the front or the rear of the machine. Can handle a mix of THT and SMT components. For QFPs, it provides vision centering with a 54 or 27mm view field.

MT8870A universal wireless test set has test capability for up to eight user equipment devices in a single mainframe without the need for external switching. Basic module includes an integrated vector signal analyzer, vector signal generator, and multi-core processor. Can configure a mainframe with up to four modules with four VSAs and four VSGs. Implements test capabilities for multiple formats through the addition of VSA and VSG software options, with current support ranging from Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to LTE and 802.11ac. Can be configured with one to four VSA/VSG modules, supporting 10 MHz to 6 GHz, as well as the 160 MHz bandwidth. Each module has two duplex and two simplex RF connectors. GPIB and Ethernet control of the VSA/VSG modules are available.

X8011 PCB comes with a link to the verification station for ease of analysis. Unspecified defects can be automatically pinpointed and re-examined in detail. XMC analysis software allows convenient operation, containing several automatic analyses such as BGA, QFN and inspection, and void calculation. The verification terminal link is identical to the inline system’s. All data and images of the type of defect can be stored and called up over the traceability system. Defects that evade conclusive identification can be directly and automatically pinpointed for detailed examination; i.e., with an inclined view or zoom enlargements.
