A chip mounter is a device designed to place surface mount components with high speed and precision. It is the most critical and sophisticated piece of equipment in the entire SMT production process. Evolving from the early low-speed mechanical alignment models, chip mounters have now advanced to high-speed optical alignment systems, and are moving towards the development trend of multi-functionality, flexible connectivity and modularization.

Chip mounter: also known as "mounting machine" or associated with "Surface Mount Technology (SMT)". In a production line, it is configured after a dispenser or screen printer. It is a device that accurately places surface mount components onto PCB pads by moving its mounting head. Chip mounters are categorized into two types: manual and fully automatic.

JUKI Corporation

Founded in Tokyo in 1938, JUKI Corporation is a listed company listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It is mainly engaged in the manufacture and sales of sewing machines, electronic industrial equipment and other products. The business scope of the JUKI Group is specifically divided into three major areas: ① Sewing Machine Business; ② Industrial Equipment Business; ③ Other Businesses including precision electronic machinery and precision casting. Among these, the sewing machine business serves as the core industry of JUKI. The company is currently one of the largest enterprise groups in China that manufactures chip mounters on a global scale, industrial sewing machines as well as spare parts for industrial sewing machines. Its business covers the R & D and manufacturing of surface mount technology chip mounters and electronic mechanical instruments, and the production of precision mechanical components for industrial use. Its overseas affiliate in China includes Shanghai Zhongji. It began selling surface mount chip mounters in July 1987, and established Tokyo JUKI International Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. in November 1994 to start selling chip mounters in China. In January 2001, it set up JUKI (China) Investment Co., Ltd. and pioneered the modular approach in the industry, which involves connecting multiple devices to form a production line. Up to now, this modular approach has been widely popularized in the SMT industry.

Imported chip mounters currently account for over 80% of the market share, primarily due to their high stability, reliability, fast placement speed, high precision, low failure rate and ease of maintenance. Despite years of development, domestic chip mounters still leave much to be desired in terms of quality reliability and stability. Their placement precision and speed are far inferior to those of imported brands, while they also offer poor residual value. Therefore, domestic chip mounters are mostly adopted by SMT factories with low production capacity or simple product lines that do not have stringent requirements for precision and speed.
