However, because electronics have such a short life cycle, the quantity and ratio of parts used changes frequently with changes in the product type. In these situations, we need to respond quickly to new challenges such as the following. When proportionately more reel parts need to be used, and there is not enough space remaining to load a tray unit at a part supply stage. When proportionately more tray parts need to be used, and not all parts can be loaded into the tray unit. When only a few tray parts are used, and it might be better if there was an option that did not require an investment in a large tray unit. In answer to these kinds of issues, Fuji has developed the new "inner tray stage".... Learn More Tuesday, December 1st, 2020 News: Fuji America: Supply Parts Description: When producing test panels or running production for very small lots, production sometimes uses parts packaged in tape that is cut in a shorter length ("shorter tape") for providing only the necessary amount of parts. This type of tape supply cannot be automated using usual tape feeders designed for mass production, so extra work such as repacking parts is required at the production floor.....

However, while the 3D coplanarity check unit is an accurate and versatile tool for detecting potential defects, there are also many who could benefit from the function to check for bent leads but have passed on it when weighing up the merits vs the initial costs of a unit that has a full-range capacity to check for missing or misshapen bumps, as well as missing and warped leads..... Learn More Tuesday, December 1st, 2020 News: Fuji America: SIP and Module Parts Description: As electronics become smaller with greater functionality and along with demand driving shorter development times, there is an increased demand for package parts such as SiP and module parts. There are many different configurations of package parts that can be found in the market, but the common threads in the manufacturing process of these parts; multi-layering and thinner structures in the Z direction, and higher density in the XY direction, are being used in combination and continue to evolve. For these kinds of cutting-edge processes, Fuji is on hand to talk directly with factories to talk shop and provide an array of solutions.... Learn More Tuesday, December 1st, 2020 News: Fuji America: Reliable Process Description: There are a lot of settings that must be specified to create vision processing data for placement machines, and creating the data for each part to be vision processed takes time and experience. Creating vision processing data becomes especially difficult when there are elements outside the part body such as the bumps and leads on package parts. These programming issues can be remedied using Fuji's Auto Shape Generator and VPDplus.....
