NBS Adding Juki's GL Stencil Printers to Five Manufacturing Lines
Leading EMS provider NBS (www.nbscorp.com) announced the deployment of Juki GL Stencil Printers to two of its SMT assembly lines with orders pending to upgrade three additional lines at their Santa Clara manufacturing headquarters.
The fully automatic printers utilize a patented alignment algorithm to ensure the high accuracy essential for 01005 (0402 metric) printing. NBS was the first Juki customer in the United States to place 01005 components, and the complexity of the products they build places high demands on process capability. The new print systems also feature a patented PCB Flexible Auto Clamp (FAC) system and Stencil Position Memory (SPM) function for rapid change-over.
"This investment perpetuates our philosophy of valuing common equipment sets and continuity in partnerships," said Michael Maslana, President & CEO of NBS. We all recognize the critical relationship of solder paste application to product quality and reliability. Our extensive research into every available system on the market, and 3 month in service evaluation led us to the clear conclusion that Juki once again delivers the most in overall performance and cost. NBS' unique approach to providing NPI services has long set the standard by which all other EMS companies are measured. This is precisely why we enjoy such a large and diverse customer base, and continue to attract new engagements from throughout the US marketplace."
Founded in 1999 as a PCB design company, NBS delivers a wide variety of leading-edge services in PCB design, end to end manufacturing, test and verification. The company also offers comprehensive component services from its team of dedicated engineers providing BOM scrub, RoHS review, obsolete alternate parts analysis and component standardization. The company recently announced the expansion of their engineering portfolio to include electronic, as well as mechanical design services.
Bob Black, President & CEO of Juki Automation Systems, commented further on the new equipment deployment: "We at Juki are delighted that our friends and longtime customers at NBS have selected the Juki/GKG GL Stencil Printers for their production lines. NBS builds very demanding, quick turn assemblies for their customers in Silicon Valley and beyond. The high accuracy and reliability of the GL will enable NBS to continue to provide the high quality for which they are well known. We thank them for their continued confidence in choosing Juki to fill this need."
