JUKI SMT Nozzle: Full Types, Models List, Installation&Maintenance Guide

For SMT production lines, the nozzle is the core component of JUKI pick-and-place machines that determines placement precision and efficiency. Choosing the right JUKI nozzle, mastering standard installation steps and scientific maintenance methods can significantly reduce material throwing rate, improve production capacity and cut maintenance costs. This guide covers all key points of JUKI SMT nozzles to help you optimize your SMT production process.

Core Types of JUKI SMT Nozzles

JUKI nozzles are classified by application scenarios and component sizes, mainly divided into two core categories to meet diverse SMT production needs:

1. Standard Suction Nozzles: The most widely used type for common SMD components (0201 to large-size BGA). Made of high-hardness ceramic and metal materials, it features strong wear resistance and stable vacuum adsorption, which is the first choice for mass production lines.
2. Special-shaped Custom Nozzles: Designed for non-standard components such as high-power inductors, large-size connectors and irregular-shaped components. It adopts a clamping or special adsorption structure to solve the problem of difficult pickup of special components and realize zero error placement.

Standard Installation Steps for JUKI Nozzles

Correct installation is the premise of stable operation of nozzles. Follow these steps to avoid placement deviation and nozzle damage:

1. Pre-installation Check: Confirm that the nozzle model matches the current component, and check the nozzle tip for deformation, wear or rubber pad loss to ensure no blockage inside.
2. Fixed Installation: Align the nozzle with the mount head interface, press it firmly until a “click” sound is heard, and manually rotate it to confirm that it is locked without loosening.
3. Post-installation Verification: Start the machine’s automatic nozzle detection function to check the height, vacuum tightness and position accuracy. Only after passing the test can production be started.
4. Key Note: Do not use brute force to install or disassemble the nozzle to avoid damaging the mount head and nozzle connection structure.

Professional Maintenance & Maintenance Suggestions for JUKI Nozzles

Scientific maintenance can extend the service life of JUKI nozzles by 30% and reduce the production shutdown rate caused by nozzle problems. The core suggestions are as follows:

Daily Maintenance (3-5 Days Cycle)

• Clean the nozzle regularly: For 502-504 small nozzles, soak them in alcohol for 5-10 minutes and blow dry with an air gun; for 505-508 large nozzles with rubber pads, wipe the surface with alcohol-soaked cloth to avoid rubber pad falling off caused by full soaking.
• Check the vacuum channel: Use a thin steel wire to dredge the blocked nozzle channel, and blow it clean with an air gun to ensure smooth air flow and stable vacuum.

Regular Inspection (Weekly Cycle)

• Check the nozzle tip for wear and deformation. If the tip is worn more than 0.1mm or deformed, replace it in time to avoid component throwing and offset.
• Test the spring elasticity of the nozzle manually. Press the nozzle 10 times to confirm that the rebound is flexible without jamming, and apply a small amount of JUKI special No.1 grease to the spring part.
• Clean the nozzle station nest with alcohol cloth to remove oil and dust, and avoid inaccurate positioning during nozzle switching.

Long-term Storage Suggestions

• Store the idle nozzles in a dry and dust-free environment, and classify them by model to avoid confusion.
• Coat the metal part of the nozzle with anti-rust oil to prevent oxidation and corrosion during long-term storage.
