The Juki assembly machines absolutely convinced us since our first investment in 1993. We have expanded our SMT production capacity several times over the past few years. Today we have four SMT production lines equipped with a total of ten Juki assembly machines. The last investment was a line consisting of an FX-3, KE-2070 and KE-2080. This line shows perfectly the capability of Juki equipment. In addition to the high flexibility, this line performs at a practical throughput of up to 70’000 components per hour. The Lowest Cost of Ownership slogan by Juki is absolutely true. Apart from filters and other wear and tear parts we have only had one single incident in all the years we have had Juki machines.”
