Fuji Corporation has developed a new placement machine, the CLT-FG, which combines compactness with flexibility to accommodate diverse production requirements. With a compact design featuring a one-meter-wide machine body and leveraging the technology Fuji has cultivated through its experience in developing placement machines, the CLT-FG meets a wide range of production requirements, including high-mix, low-volume production, to deliver flexible and stable manufacturing.

Development Background

In recent years, production sites have been facing greater demands to accommodate high-mix, low-volume production and to flexibly adjust production to meet fluctuating demand due to the diversification of electronic devices, technological innovations, and shorter product lifecycles.

When introducing new equipment, there are challenges such as ensuring that the equipment's performance is suitable for day-to-day production operations, securing sufficient installation space, and managing operation workloads. Therefore, selecting the optimal equipment has become a key priority.

Against this backdrop, Fuji has been developing the CLT-FG, a new placement machine designed to meet a wide range of production needs. Drawing on customer insights, the company focused on delivering the values required in today’s production environments, achieving a balance between compactness and flexibility to support installation in production environments with space limitations.

CLT-FG Features

The CLT-FG is equipped with a versatile head capable of handling a wide range of components. From high-speed placement of small chip components to handling large components, the CLT-FG supports the production of a diverse range of products. It adapts to production environments characterized by high-mix, low-volume production and frequent product changeovers, enabling efficient production.

With a compact design featuring a width of approximately one meter, the machine is designed to meet the needs of various production sites and offers flexibility in installation locations. A streamlined machine and unit configuration helps minimize the effort required for installation and operation.

By leveraging Fuji's placement technologies and existing platform assets, the machine is designed to accommodate a range of production needs. It delivers placement through stable operation and reliability. The design also takes into account asset compatibility with existing equipment to support operation.

Future Plans

Fuji has added the CLT-FG to its product lineup as a new platform designed to expand customers’ options and meet the needs of production sites. The CLT-FG will be unveiled for the first time globally at JISSO PROTEC 2026, an exhibition for electronic assembly and packaging technologies, to be held at Tokyo Big Sight in June 2026.

JISSO PROTEC 2026 (27th Jisso Process Technology Exhibition) will take place from June 10–12, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight in Japan. Fuji will exhibit at Booth 1A-46 in East Hall 1.
