Saki Corp. Opens Factory to Produce Automated X-ray Inspection Equipment

TOKYO — Saki Corp. has opened a new plant in Yamato Koriyama City, Nara Prefecture, to manufacture 3D automated X-ray inspection (AXI) equipment. Saki's expansion of production enables the company to respond more quickly to market needs, enhance collaborations, and achieve synergistic effects such as improved manufacturing quality, shorter delivery times, and lower costs. Equipment production at the plant will be transferred to the new facility.
AXI examines features of a printed circuit board, semiconductor package, or power module that are hidden from view, to find defects that might result in electrical failures of the products in which they're contained. This is especially critical for electronics used in the automotive, medical device, and aerospace industries.
Saki's manufacturing production in Nara will utilize the building and resources of DMG MORI Co., Ltd. and is almost twice as large as its current facility. The relocation enables Saki to triple its production of AXI systems and expands Saki's production bases in Japan to about 28,000 square feet.

The ASSEMBLY Show South

ASSEMBLY is thrilled to return to the Music City Center in Nashville, TN for The ASSEMBLY Show SOUTH on May 1-2, 2024. This is a booming time for manufacturing and the U.S. South is right in the heart of the action. According to ASSEMBLY’s most recent annual capital spending survey, the South is projected to account for 31 percent of total spending this year, marking the fifth straight year this region has accounted for at least 30 percent of capital spending in the U.S.

In this session, manufacturers will learn how Quality function deployment (QFD) can transform consumers’ qualitative demands into quantitative parameters that will shape the design of their product and, ultimately, their manufacturing process.
