Three keys to the RX-8
Application examples.
What JUKI recommends placing with the RX-8.

Very small chips and small ICs. That’s what the P20 is designed for: from 0402 to □5 mm and up to 3 mm high.8 - Coming soon
LED edge lights. JUKI recommends it for high-density, high-precision placement.9 - Coming soon
Many parts from the same reel. The P20 picks and places them at high speed from a single reel.10 - Coming soon
In a line with an LX-8. JUKI pairs them for a fast, general-purpose line.11
