Fuji Corporation has launched the CLT-FG, a new all-in-one SMT placement machine engineered to meet evolving production demands. Designed with a compact footprint and broad functionality, the system targets manufacturers seeking flexible solutions for increasingly complex assembly environments.

The CLT-FG integrates a one-meter-wide machine body with advanced placement technology, enabling manufacturers to manage diverse production scenarios—from high-mix, low-volume runs to rapidly changing product requirements. The system reflects Fuji’s focus on optimizing both installation efficiency and operational flexibility.

Responding to Industry Shifts

Adapting to rapid product cycles and demand variability

Electronics manufacturing is experiencing pressure from shorter product lifecycles, technological innovation, and growing device diversity. These shifts have increased the need for production systems that can quickly adapt to fluctuating demand while maintaining efficiency.  

At the same time, manufacturers must consider practical challenges such as limited installation space, operational workload, and the need for equipment suited to daily production use. Fuji developed the CLT-FG to address these challenges by combining compactness with flexible production capabilities.

Key Capabilities of the CLT-FG

Versatility across component sizes and production types

The CLT-FG features a versatile placement head capable of handling a wide range of components. It supports high-speed placement of small chip parts while maintaining stable performance for larger components, allowing manufacturers to produce varied product types efficiently.

Compact design for efficient deployment

With a width of approximately one meter, the system is designed for easy installation across different production layouts. Its streamlined configuration reduces both setup effort and operational complexity, helping manufacturers optimize floor space and workflow.

Reliable performance backed by proven technology

Leveraging Fuji’s established placement technologies, the CLT-FG delivers consistent, high-quality placement and stable operation. Compatibility with existing equipment platforms also supports smoother integration into current manufacturing processes.

Market Introduction and Strategic Outlook

Fuji has added the CLT-FG to its SMT lineup to expand customer options and address diverse production needs. The company plans to showcase the new machine at JISSO PROTEC 2026 in Tokyo, highlighting its role in next-generation electronics assembly solutions.
