FUJI 2AGKNY010400 4.4x1.8 Rectangular Nozzle for SMT Placement Machine

FUJI 2AGKNY010400 4.4x1.8 Rectangular Nozzle for SMT Placement Machine

The FUJI 2AGKNY010400 4.4x1.8 Rectangular Nozzle is a precision SMT placement nozzle designed for component pickup, transfer, alignment, and placement during automated PCB assembly. The rectangular nozzle profile provides a suitable vacuum contact area for components whose package shape requires more support than a conventional round nozzle.

During high-speed SMT production, nozzle condition directly affects pickup stability, component positioning, and placement consistency. A worn, contaminated, damaged, or incorrectly selected nozzle may lead to pickup errors, component drops, placement offsets, or unnecessary machine stops.

The 2AGKNY010400 nozzle provides a practical replacement option for maintenance and spare-parts inventory. Its 4.4x1.8 size specification allows maintenance teams and purchasing departments to identify the required nozzle quickly. Before ordering, customers should confirm the original part number, nozzle dimensions, placement head configuration, and component application.

Cause

SMT nozzles operate continuously under repeated pickup and placement cycles. Even though they are relatively small machine parts, their condition can have a significant effect on production efficiency.

Common reasons for replacing a rectangular SMT nozzle include:

A nozzle that appears functional may still cause intermittent problems when its contact surface, vacuum passage, or positioning structure has deteriorated.

In high-volume production, intermittent pickup errors can be especially difficult to diagnose because they may occur only with specific components, feeder positions, or operating speeds.

Solution

Replacing the affected nozzle with the correctly matched FUJI 2AGKNY010400 rectangular nozzle helps restore stable component handling when the original nozzle is worn or damaged.

The 4.4x1.8 rectangular profile is intended to provide an appropriate pickup surface for compatible component packages. Correct nozzle selection can help maintain vacuum stability while reducing unnecessary movement of the component during transfer.

For best results, users should check several factors before replacement:

• Confirm the original 2AGKNY010400 part number.
• Verify the required 4.4x1.8 rectangular nozzle specification.
• Confirm compatibility with the installed SMT placement head.
• Check the dimensions and surface characteristics of the component.
• Inspect the nozzle holder and vacuum system.
• Clean the installation area before fitting the replacement nozzle.
• Perform pickup and placement testing after installation.

Replacing only the nozzle may not resolve every pickup problem. If errors continue, users should also inspect the vacuum system, feeder condition, component presentation, camera recognition settings, and placement parameters.

Key Product Features

Application

The FUJI 2AGKNY010400 nozzle is mainly used in automated SMT placement processes where electronic components must be picked from a feeder or other component supply system and accurately placed onto a PCB.

Typical applications include:

The rectangular design is particularly useful when the component pickup surface benefits from an elongated contact area.

Unlike a general-purpose round nozzle, a rectangular nozzle can provide better contact geometry for certain package formats. However, the correct nozzle should always be selected according to component dimensions, pickup position, machine setup, and process requirements.

How It Works

The nozzle operates as part of the SMT machine's placement head and vacuum system.

1. Nozzle Positioning

The placement head moves the 2AGKNY010400 nozzle toward the component supplied by the feeder or other component supply unit.

2. Vacuum Pickup

When the nozzle contacts the component surface, the machine applies vacuum through the nozzle.

The rectangular pickup surface helps create suitable contact with compatible components.

3. Component Transfer

After pickup, the placement head lifts the component and moves it toward the inspection and PCB placement position.

During this movement, stable vacuum is important because inadequate suction can cause component movement or dropping.

4. Component Alignment

The SMT machine may inspect or correct the component position before final placement according to its programmed process.

A correctly selected nozzle helps maintain the component in a predictable position during this stage.

5. PCB Placement

The head moves to the programmed PCB coordinate and lowers the component onto the required pad position.

6. Vacuum Release

The vacuum is released and the component remains on the PCB. The nozzle then moves to the next pickup cycle.

This process can be repeated thousands of times during normal SMT production, making nozzle condition an important factor in long-term production stability.

How To Choose

Choosing a nozzle only by appearance is not recommended. Similar-looking SMT nozzles may have different dimensions, mounting structures, or intended applications.

Use the following information when selecting the 2AGKNY010400:

Part Number First

The most reliable starting point is the original machine spare-part number. If your existing nozzle is marked or documented as 2AGKNY010400, use this number when requesting a quotation.

Check the Nozzle Size

Confirm that your application requires the 4.4x1.8 version. FUJI rectangular nozzles may have similar appearances while using different size specifications.

Compare the Original Nozzle

If there is any uncertainty, provide clear photos of the existing nozzle. Front, side, and pickup-tip views can help with identification.

Confirm the Component

Component dimensions and pickup surface should match the nozzle profile. Selecting a nozzle that is too large or too small can reduce vacuum effectiveness.

Check Before Bulk Purchase

For maintenance stock or multiple-machine projects, confirming one sample or the original part information before placing a larger order can reduce compatibility risk.

Maintenance Recommendations

Proper nozzle maintenance can extend service life and reduce unexpected placement problems.

Do not use sharp tools to clean the vacuum opening because this may change the nozzle geometry or damage the pickup surface.

When several nozzles are used in the same production area, separate storage by part number and nozzle specification helps prevent installation mistakes.

FAQ

1. What is FUJI 2AGKNY010400 used for?

FUJI 2AGKNY010400 is a 4.4x1.8 rectangular SMT nozzle used for picking, transferring, and placing compatible electronic components during automated PCB assembly.

2. Why use a rectangular nozzle instead of a round nozzle?

A rectangular nozzle provides a different contact profile and may better match components with elongated or rectangular pickup surfaces. Correct nozzle geometry can improve vacuum contact and component handling stability.

3. How can I confirm whether 2AGKNY010400 is the correct nozzle?

Please confirm the original part number, 4.4x1.8 size, nozzle shape, placement head configuration, and component dimensions. Photos of your existing nozzle can also help with confirmation.

4. What problems may occur when an SMT nozzle becomes worn?

Typical symptoms include repeated pickup errors, weak vacuum, dropped components, unstable positioning, increased machine alarms, or inconsistent placement performance.

5. Can you supply other FUJI rectangular nozzle sizes?
