The company has the capability to handle large, heavy components measuring 200 x 200 mm and weighing 2.0 kg with the standard configurations of both its NXTR and AIMEXR pick and place machines, it said. These trends require support for panels and components that are larger and heavier. Fuji is driving the development of technologies that eliminate restrictions in the placement process one by one under the concept of Zero Placement Limits, which aims to reduce the placements that cannot be performed to zero, the company said. “To this end, Fuji has established placement technology for large, heavy components measuring 200 x 200 mm and weighing 2.0 kg and has successfully demonstrated the ability to place such components under our evaluation conditions, enabling us to meet emerging placement requirements for next-generation electronics, including AI server-related equipment,” Fuji said. Looking ahead, the company said it will continue to expand its capabilities in anticipation of components becoming even larger and heavier.
