1. Introduction

1.1 Machine Outline

The NXT is not simply a placing machine, but is the result of Fuji’s endeavor to provide a
revolutionary new SMT line concept system, providing a total solution for the requirements
of the next generation, today.
By incorporating unique technology to enable the machine to automatically adapt to high-
mix, variable volume production, and extensive use of sensors to achieve reliable
placement and quality management, this new machine represents innovation at the
highest possible level.
Incorporating a flexible two type (M3 and M6) modular configuration, combined with a
thorough effort to reduce both the size and cost of the machine to an absolute
minimum has resulted in a more cost effective, more efficient machine with a greatly
reduced footprint in comparison to previous generation machines.

1.2 Features

• The placing head is attached to the XY-robot, and offers the choice of an 8 nozzle,
horizontal indexing type, or a single nozzle type for odd-formed and large parts,
allowing flexible reconfiguration for a varied range of production tasks.

• This easily attached head enables ultra quick changeovers in response to changes in
production volume and product type. Furthermore, downtime is reduced to an
absolute minimum, as the operator is not required to perform any troublesome
settings following head exchange.

• Maximum loading efficiency is realized using a double conveyor system, reducing

panel loading time to zero.

• Stable parts supply performed using newly developed, low cost, easy to use motor
powered feeders. Furthermore, efficiency is maximized with the ability to load
replenished feeders and perform part splicing while the machine is operating.

• The user-friendly operation panel provides clear, intuitive, step-by-step operating

instructions, making life easier even for the most inexperienced users. As a result,
time spent on operator training is minimized, ensuring swift commencement of
production following machine delivery.
Even when using a multiple module configuration, the modules function as a single
machine during operation, and as individual units when performing maintenance.

• In addition to a comprehensive support system for program creation and production

information, great efforts have been made to further enhance communication with the
end user, and reduce downtime with swift solutions for trouble related issues. This
has been achieved through liberal access to machine preventative maintenance and
inspection related information, as well as an online support system.

4. Machine Structure

4.1 Machine Base

The base is the foundation upon which the modules are mounted. Bases are available
in three sizes (2-base, 4-base, and 8-base), depending on the line configuration.

4.2 Modules

Each module comprises an XY-robot, placing head, PCB conveyor, PCB clamper,
feeder pallet, and vision system cameras.
Two sizes of modules are available: a 325(W) mm M3 module, and a 650(W) mm M6
module. Reconfiguration of the line is made simple with a module change unit that can
be used to quickly remove and replace modules.

4.3 Placing Heads

Depending on the parts being handled, two different, easily exchangeable head types
are available: H08 (8 nozzles), and the H01 (single nozzle).

4.4 Main Conveyor

The NXT PCB conveyance system provides shock-free transport of the PCB, with a
servo driven, conveyor width adjustment function, and simple PCB flow direction
change capabilities.
Independently adjustable conveyors minimize the Y-axis stroke by bringing the PCB on
the secondary conveyor closer to the feeder pallet, therefore increasing productivity.
However, a dedicated back-up plate is required for support of this feature.
When the standard back-up plate is used, the secondary conveyor front rail is fixed at a
position based on a 280 mm wide PCB on the primary conveyor. The Y-axis stroke,
however, is lengthened when placing on the PCB held by the secondary conveyor in
the case where the standard back-up plate is fitted.

4.5 Parts Camera Unit

Each module is equipped with a fixed parts camera unit which is used to acquire the
part image and perform the necessary compensation for placement.
All parts are processed using frontlighting.
