President's message
A “true partner” aiming to nurture global product
making by supporting customers with “Mind & Technology”
JUKI evolving as a “ solutions-proposal company ” dedicated to
supporting customers in the world of smart manufacturing
JUKI has positioned “ manufacturing ” at the center of its business and offered new
values to markets ever since the time of founding. The manufacturing environment
where we now operate is fluctuating sharply. Constant improvements in technology
are driving competition to new heights globally. JUKI will have to evolve further in order to survive the 21st century.
Elevated labor costs and labor shortages are driving up customer demand for
upgraded production lines (in other words, for smart manufacturing) to improve
quality and productivity. To optimize a customer ’ s production line, JUKI needs to
comprehensively propose the most productive equipment, the best organization for
manufacturing personnel, and optimal factory layouts and manufacturing flow. We
JUKI CORPORATION
President, Representative Director
Akira Kiyohara
must also take thorough steps to sharpen our customer’ s competitive edge. Beyond
the actual production equipment, we must propose total solutions to help our customers evolve.
JUKI has been assigned a clear mission: respond to customer needs and serve customers as a “ true partner ” in business.
JUKI takes pride in its firm partnerships with customers
Our “ Customer Creed ” concept and “ Mind & Technology ” slogan are milestones for
JUKI along its way to reformation. JUKI’ s high-quality products and detailed service
system originate from its commitment to manufacturing from a customer viewpoint.
When customers all over the world have needs, we have a system to support them
through a global network. We take pride in our firm partnerships and the unshakable trust customers have placed in us for many years all around the world.
We aspire to walk with our customers and share in the delights of their successes. This

with listening to what the customer
has to say. There are many planning challenges, requested by
our customers, such as “ flawless
sewing quality for new fiber materials, “ deskilled sewing” on factory
floors, and “demand for productivity improvements and manpower
savings. “ JUKI ’ s plans solve these
problems from thorough, customer-sided perspectives based on
JUKI’s ample experience and technologies as a top manufacturer of
industrial sewing machines.
JUKI and its partner companies
engaged in planning offer customers the very best “sewing lines”
equipped with stand-alone machines, sewing lines for dry sewing,
and robotic machines to handle
multiple processes all at once.
The biggest challenge facing JUKI
customers in the sewing industry is
the search for new solutions for stable sewing quality and productivity.
JUKI responds by pursuing various

1/1,000th of a second is required
for the high-speed placement
of electronic components on an
electronic PWB. We use a highspeed camera to confirm the
timing and behavior of the pickand-placement process.
We enter a program using a test
PWB, confirm the operations of
the operating panel and placement head, and measure the
accuracy of component placement one by one. This is one of
the important determinants of
the quality of the final product.
For this test we apply high temperature and voltage loads to
preempt initial failures. We repeat
the test in many different environments to ensure a product of
stable quality.
JUKI ’ s machines fabricate PWBs
within an accuracy range of ±50
m i c ro n s. M o u n te r p a r t s a n d
assemblies are also configured
with accuracy at the micron level. High-level production promises the production of high-quality
PWBs.
Apart from line production, we
also use a digital cell production
system. High quality is maintained by a manufacturing system backed by a continuously
upgraded standardization manual and manufacturing knowhow in digital form.
The starting point of manufacturing is the “person” at work. We
continue to maintain or improve
the quality, cost, and delivery by
promoting technical qualifications and certifications through
quality management education
and internal tests.

JUKI's business ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY SYSTEMS BUSINESS
Delivering the highest quality to customers with thoroughly
refined technical capabilities
Moving on to customer satisfaction
Support
Support by a service
system within 24 hours
JUKI support starts with the proposal
of placement tests on PWBs before
the purchase of a product. Next
comes the JUKI seminar for the customers. Then comes maintenance
and inspections, including periodic
maintenance and the replacement
of parts. Support begins before the
purchase and continues after the
purchase. When trouble occurs on
a customer's manufacturing line, we
perform the recovery work quickly
with a target response time of no
more than 24 hours, any day of the
year.
This is enabled by an internal technology-recognition system com posed of five stages. We promise
higher-level support by honing our
techniques both in classroom training and hands-on work in the field.
●Placement tests
●Periodic maintenance of equipment
●Fulfilling training
program
We test and verify component placement using the
customer ’ s PWBs and components. We propose simulations in our customer’s manufacturing environments such
as simulated placement tests
and reviews of placement
accuracy and tact times for
odd-shaped components.
To ensure a customer can
use a product routinely for
as many years as possible,
we study the state of the
product after years of use
and carry out maintenance
care to return it to an optimal
state. This maintenance care
helps us maintain placement
accuracy and assure longtime product use.
We prepare various training
such as a course for beginner ’ s in SMT, a course for
people inexperienced with
JUKI machines, a vision-reco g n i t i o n c o m p o n e n t - c re ation course, and other
courses to help customers
realize the "mounting" quality
they seek.

Supporting the driver's safe run
The Sleep Buster is a device developed to reduce traffic accidents
by preventing overwork driving. A sensor pad attached to the
driver ’ s seat monitors physiological signals in driver’ s upper body
second by second. Built-in algorithms assess the degree of driver
fatigue and issue warning displays or sounds whenever the driver’s
concentration or physical condition decreases or suddenly changes (e.g., when the driver drifts toward sleep). The driver’s stress, concentration, arousal, and fatigue can all be analyzed in more detail
by downloading the sensor data to a personal computer using JUKI’s exclusive software.

Bobbin-thread-position-control mechanism in

This technology optimizes power consumption via a JUKI tuning technology using
the features of various motors. Maximum
performance is obtained without waste. The
power supply circuit instantly shuts off when
work stops and instantly turns on when
work resumes. Many energy-saving technologies are applied.
JUKI’s dry technology keeps the needle bar
drier by minimizing or sealing the lubricant
which is essential for high speed running.
The technology is also applied in JUKI’s process to optimize the conditions for sewing
machine operation using the original DLC
coating, a super hard coating to protect
against exterior damage on the needle
bar, along with a small amount of “ JUKI
Grease,” a semisolid oil to reduce wear.
This technology maintains optimal tension
for the needle thread and bobbin thread
to achieve beautiful stable sewing. It also
opens and closes the thread tension disc
by finely controlling a special solenoid with
an electric current and achieves the best
thread tension for balanced stitches. Solenoid control is useful in other ways for preventing sewing trouble, controlling pattern
sewing, and controlling changes of thick,
thin, and elastic fabrics.
This technology ties knots at the finish of
sewing. Many JUKI products apply similar
mechanisms for tying knots. The covering
stitch machine pulls the needle threads
aslant with dedicated hooks, forms loops,
and finally forms pseudo knots by dropping
the needles into the loops. The needle stop
position and waiting position of the dedicated hooks are adjusted to control the
timing.
This technology prevents thread from tangling into bird’s nests at the start of sewing
and then cuts the leftover thread to as
short a length as possible at the end of
sewing.
A thread nipper device captures the needle thread at the start of sewing and holds
it until the sewing is complete. A blade cuts
the needle thread short at the start of sewing and cuts both the needle thread and
bobbin thread at the finish of sewing.
This technology promises the sewing of perfect stitches in spite of the X-Y direction of
sewing. This technology also synchronizes
control of the needle thread position and
controls the shape and tightness of the
stitches by turning the needle bar and controlling the bobbin thread position using a
thread handler mechanism with a superior
axis and X-Y axis to eliminate hitch stitches.
The result is beautiful seams.

This technology stabilizes the feeding of
fabrics by putting the fabrics into close
contact with a feed dog. It has wide capacity to smoothly feed thin or thick materials as well as highly uneven multi-layered
sections. This technology also achieves
a “ square ” box-like orbit by adopting a
unique cam shape and makes extreme
movements to feed in the fabrics horizontally and drop them in straight.

threads from about 1 cm of thread ends in
through-holes to the looper holes through
the inside of thin pipes. Air ejected from an
electric pump through a 0 . 3 -mm-deep slit
generates suction power via the sudden
widening of the slit to output the threads.
The pipes are specially processed to eliminate the frictional resistance of the threads.

equipped on the head identifies the position and angle by shining light on components and reading the shadow. A wide
range of components can be stably recognized with high accuracy. This technology
also monitors the pick state of components
just before placement to prevent the poor
placement of extremely small, hard-to-detect components.
This technology records images of components with a custom-designed camera and
various lighting systems to confirm component positioning. Components of all types
are recognized, from IC components to
odd-shaped components. This technology
also continuously records images of picked
components for image recognition at high
speed. Components are detected by a
“ reflectance recognition ” mechanism and
“transmittance recognition ” in combination.
The planet head is a rotar y type head
designed to pick and place components
with a rotating motion based on original
JUKI technology. This head can pick, place,
and position components simultaneously
and place small-size components at a high
speed. It can rotate 16 nozzles via wholehead rotation.
This function eradicates component misplacement before errors can occur by
checking the electrical characteristics of
the placed components (resistance value,
condenser capacity, and component polarity) before the start of production and
whenever production resumes after components run out and are replaced. It can also
check features invisible to a conventional
appearance tester and prevent the erroneous attachment of component reels.
