Meeting the challenges of digitalization and energy transition

FUJI at InnoElectro: Increasing energy efficiency and productivity in placement

Kelsterbach, March 21st, 2024 – There is currently a great deal of untapped potential for energy savings in industrial production – and it is important to leverage this potential as part of the energy transition. FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH ( www.fuji-euro.de) will be demonstrating at InnoElectro from April 23 to 25 in Budapest (booth D05) how productivity increases and energy efficiency in placement can work in harmony. The specialist for electronic pick-and-place machines will be presenting the NXTR-S from its “R-Series” at the trade fair. These are machines that reduce manual activities to a minimum and focus on energy efficiency, flexibility, high-speed and high-precision placement.

“Increasing energy costs in a long-term perspective, climate changes and shrinking resources are making energy efficiency in production an increasingly important strategic issue in the industry. This is why we also pay attention to these factors when developing our electronic pick and place machines. We strive to constantly increase the efficiency of SMT production with our machines and at the same time reduce the environmental impact,” says Ádám Salusinszky, Managing Director Hungarian Branch Office of FUJI EUROPE CORPORATION GmbH.

SMT production needs energy-saving and cost-efficient solutions

At “InnoElectro”, a trade fair for companies involved in the development and manufacturing of electronics-based solutions, FUJI will be demonstrating various automation solutions from the “R-Series”. With its “R” placement machines, FUJI is aiming for highly efficient and agile production that is also designed for sustainability. The pick-and-place machines support a wide range of production types and are very cost-efficient and energy-saving.

The ‘R machine series’ includes the NXTR-S smart factory platform, for example. It offers a modular design that enables quick adjustments to be made when production requirements change. Heads, units and even entire modules can be replaced without tools. In addition, predictive maintenance is possible thanks to self-diagnostics – this prevents sudden machine stops from affecting the production schedule. The pick-and-place machine is also designed for better PCB handling, more CPH – components per hour – and greater flexibility in terms of part size, with fewer head types.

The NXTR models support high-speed panel production, with a high throughput without compromising on quality. The intelligent sensor system ensures stable and high-quality placement. The status of the machine is monitored in real time and the load on components and panels is controlled at the same time.

Hungarian electronics industry on the rise

“At InnoElectro in Hungary, we will be presenting solutions and tools that enable fully automated, efficient processes. This is an important trade fair for us, as the Hungarian electronics industry has grown strongly in recent years and is developing very positively. This is partly due to a boom in investment in electromobility. There is enormous potential for development and optimization in this country, for example in PCB production,” says Ádám Salusinszky.

The business area of the Hungarian branch is very important because we want to offer our regional customers short distances and response times as well as high quality service and support. We have greatly expanded our activities in recent years and serve customers from Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina. We are also focusing on training, as the branch in Budapest is FUJI’s second training center in Europe.
