The JUKI High-Speed SMT Chip Shooter KE-3010A is made for factories that need fast chip placement and steady SMT production. It uses a single gantry with one head, and the multi-nozzle laser head can place small components efficiently. This model is suitable for high-mix production where operators change products often and need a machine that can return to production quickly. It supports electronic and mechanical feeders, with up to 160 positions for 8 mm tape when using double tape feeders. The machine also supports large PCB handling, giving factories more space for future product plans. For electronics manufacturers, this equipment is a practical choice for fast chip mounting and stable PCB assembly.
The JUKI KE-3010A Chip Shooter uses a six-nozzle laser head for efficient chip placement. This head structure allows the machine to handle several components in one operation cycle, which helps improve placement flow during mass production. It is especially useful when the PCB has many small chip components, because repeated pickup and placement can be completed with better rhythm. The design also supports on-the-fly centering, so the machine can correct component position while continuing movement. For a factory that handles frequent product changes, this head design is useful because it keeps the setup simple and the production process clean. It gives the SMT line a direct and stable chip mounting base.
The High Speed SMT Chip Shooter uses laser centering to improve component alignment before placement. In real SMT production, chip components may be small, light, and easy to shift during pickup. Good centering helps reduce wrong position, skew, and placement offset before the board enters reflow soldering. According to the product data, the machine can support laser recognition from 01005, also known as 0402 metric, up to 33.5 mm components, depending on configuration. This makes it suitable for many common PCB assembly applications. For production teams, stable centering is not only about accuracy. It also helps AOI inspection become cleaner and reduces unnecessary repair work after soldering.
The JUKI SMT Chip Shooter Machine supports both electronic and mechanical feeders, giving factories more freedom when preparing different jobs. When using 8 mm electronic double tape feeders, the feeder capacity can reach up to 160 positions. This is helpful for PCB products with many component types because operators can prepare more materials on the machine and reduce repeated feeder changes. In high-mix production, feeder planning often decides how quickly a line can move from one order to the next. A flexible feeder system helps reduce waiting time, improve material organization, and make production changeover easier. For factories with many small-batch orders, this function is very practical.
The SMT Chip Shooter For PCB Assembly is suitable for high-mix and high-changeover environments. The screenshot data shows a single gantry and one head per gantry structure, which makes the machine easier to configure for different production needs. Many electronics factories do not only produce one board for months. They may need to build control boards, power boards, consumer electronics, and computer-related boards on the same line. KE-3010A is useful in this kind of factory because it supports fast chip placement while keeping production planning flexible. It helps customers respond to changing orders without making the SMT line too difficult to manage. That is where it earns its place.
The JUKI High Speed Chip Mounter supports different PCB and component needs in SMT assembly. It can handle larger boards, with 22 × 24 inches shown in the product information, and longer PWB support can be selected as an option. Component height can support 6, 12, 20, and 25 mm options according to the production setup. This gives factories more room to arrange different PCB projects without changing the whole line design too often. For manufacturers that expect product updates, board and component flexibility matters a lot. A machine that only fits one narrow product type may become a limit later. KE-3010A gives the line more usable space for future orders.

| SMT Line Equipment List
The JUKI High-Speed SMT Chip Shooter can be placed inside a complete SMT production line from I.C.T. A typical line can include SMT loader, automatic stencil printer, SPI machine, PCB conveyor, chip mounter, Lyra series reflow oven, AOI inspection machine, PCB router, PCBA cleaning machine, and unloader. These machines build a full process from PCB loading to printing, paste inspection, chip placement, reflow soldering, optical inspection, depaneling, cleaning, and final unloading. For a production line, each machine must match the next process. If one step is weak, the whole line slows down. Good line matching helps customers turn machine capacity into real daily output.

| Customer Success Video
I.C.T supported a Customer in Uzbekistan during the construction of a large electronics manufacturing factory. The Customer’s products included computer motherboards, SSDs, memory-related products, and other electronic assemblies. From early planning to installation, debugging, and trial production, the I.C.T team worked closely with the Customer’s engineers to help both SMT and DIP lines start smoothly. The SMT line included an I.C.T-5151 stencil printer, four SMT placement machines, Lyra series reflow ovens, SPI, AOI, and PCB handling systems. The DIP line included a manual insertion line, JUKI odd-form insertion equipment, I.C.T-Acrab350 wave soldering, and conveyor systems. After testing, the Customer recognized I.C.T’s service, response speed, and line quality.
| Service and Training Support
I.C.T provides service from the full SMT line point of view. Before a project starts, our team reviews the Customer’s PCB size, product type, BOM structure, required output, factory space, material route, air supply, power supply, and inspection needs. After the line arrives, engineers can support machine positioning, line connection, process setup, software preparation, trial production, and operator training. The training is not limited to one station. It can include printing setup, SPI checking, placement preparation, reflow profile control, AOI operation, PCB handling, maintenance habits, and product changeover. This helps the Customer’s team understand the full process and build stable production faster.
| Customer Feedback
Customers often value I.C.T because our support follows the whole production line from delivery to real output. During overseas projects, Customers have praised our engineers for clear explanation, patient training, fast response, and practical problem-solving. They also notice our pre-shipment testing, export packaging, and continued after-sales communication. In a complete SMT line, a small issue may affect solder paste quality, placement results, reflow stability, or inspection data. That is why full-line support matters. I.C.T keeps communication close during installation, trial production, and the first stage of mass production. This helps Customers reduce startup pressure and gives their local team more confidence on the factory floor.
