1. Introduction
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.
• 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.

Items Specifications
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.
Depending on the parts being handled, two different, easily exchangeable head types
are available: H08 (8 nozzles), and the H01 (single nozzle).
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.
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.
Lighting Frontlight
Field of View 50 mm x 50 mm *
* Images for parts over 45 x 45 mm in size are acquired incrementally and processed
as one complete image.
Camera units attached to each head are used to process the PCB fiducial marks in
order to compensate for PCB misalignment and warpage etc. by offsetting the part
placing position.
Furthermore, PCB type recognition is achieved by reading a 2D code.
The H01 and H08 placing heads hold 1 and 8 nozzles respectively. Supported nozzles
for each head are listed in the table below.

• The “M” suffix on the end of the nozzle size indicates nozzles designed for MELF parts.
This highly flexible feeder loading unit allows feeders to be replaced during production,
and supports batch replacement using a dedicated feeder pallet change unit.
Pallet sizes differ depending on the module size used.
A waste tape cutter box is fitted below the feeder mounting area.

The part height detection function enables population of the PCB with parts placed at
optimum height.
Note: This feature comes installed on the H08 head
Production is shared between two modules when PCBs exceeding 250 mm in length
are produced on M3 modules.
The machine heads can place parts in the production area of the adjacent module,
therefore eliminating any dead space.
This unit holds the nozzles used for automatic nozzle change by the placing head and
differs depending on the placing head and module types.
Nozzle station units can be replaced quickly and easily, with identification of new units
performed using the auto recognition function.
The following options are available in order to further enhance the machine’s
functionality.
The options are classified into those that are installed during machine assembly, and
those that are installed upon purchasing individual units. Furthermore, it also possible
to install options on-site (charge incurred) even after the assembled machine has been
shipped.
[Classification]
A: Installed during machine assembly
B: On-site option installation possible
C: Supported with purchase of individual unit.

The feeder loading stand is used to fix feeders in position, enabling quick and easy
part reel setting.
Feeder pallet units are available for quick and easy replacement of feeder pallets.
There are two separate types for the M3 and M6 modules.
The one module change unit can be used to replace both M3 and M6 type
modules.

• The “M” suffix on the end of the nozzle size indicates nozzles designed for MELF parts.
The reject parts device, available in both S and L sizes, is loaded on the feeder
pallet.
7.2.8 Feeders
The NXT supports tape feeders as well as stick feeders. Tray units are also
supported when using the M6 type module.
The same dual-purpose 8 mm feeder is used for both paper and embossed tape.

The feeder stand is a double rack stand designed to accommodate tape feeders
and stick feeders.
Each rack can hold a total of 45 feeders when using all 8 mm feeders.
As with the feeder pallet, feeders are arranged on the rack with a 20 mm gap
between each feeder. For feeders that exceed 20 mm in width, it is necessary to
load the feeders appropriately to ensure a sufficient gap between them.
The nozzle height is detected prior to placing the part, and the placing pressure is
applied to the part by controlling the amount of force applied to the nozzle. This
function is enabled using a spring to provide variable pressure.
This function is designed to detect bent leads on leaded parts such as QFPs etc.
This jig facilitates the splicing of new tape to the end of the almost spent tape.
A cutter is used to cut the tape at the position where the tape pitch apertures on
the new tape line up with the existing tape. Finally, the splicing jig is used to join
the two reels.
Accurate pick-up and placing height are guaranteed using a sensor mounted on
the placing head to detect both the pick-up and placing height.
Use of these sensors, however, will adversely affect the overall cycle time.
PCB conveyance is improved using rollers located underneath the conveyor belt.
This type of conveyor is required when the total weight of the PCB (including a
supporting pallet) is between 1 and 2kg.
Standard pins are supplied with the machine, however, dedicated back-up pins
are available on request.
Back-up pin positioning is performed manually.
Note: Panel loading time is longer when using vacuum back-up pins.
Dedicated back-up pins, back-up plate and software are required for compatibility
with the auto PCB support facility.
Note: The engineering panel can also be used to access the Fuji Flexa Editor by
remote control in order to support the teaching function.
8.1.2 Fujitrax
Note: Hardware required for use with the Fujitrax software is supplied separately.
The Fuji Flexa host software is designed for creation of production programs,
control of the machines, and the acquisition of production information.
Administration of job data for the NXT should be performed using Fuji Flexa.
