Technical Information

The Janome JR4000ERT Series is a new-generation desktop robot specifically designed for PCB depaneling. Equipped with a spindle motor for router cutting, the system delivers high-precision PCB contour processing with smooth cut edges while minimizing mechanical stress on the board.

Building on the proven stability of the previous JR3000ERT Series, the new JR4000ERT Series features major upgrades in accuracy, speed, safety, and intuitive programming

Features

Smooth Cutting Edges & High-Precision Processing

The router cutting method minimizes stress on PCBs while creating smooth cutting edges.

With advanced CP control, the high-performance robot ensures consistent and precise cuts, from curves to straight lines.

Smooth Cutting Edges & High-Precision Processing

Space-Saving Design with Integrated Dust Collection

Overhead dust collection is integrated directly into the robot head. No external dust collector required.

Ideal for space-constrained environments and optimized production line layouts.

Space-Saving Design

Blade Replacement Notification Function

A customizable Notification Timer allows users to set blade replacement intervals proactively.

LED indicators on the switch box alert operators when replacement is due, helping maintain cutting quality and prevent unplanned downtime.

Safety-Focused and Stable Operation

Automatic detection of abnormal cutting loads and position errors with immediate stop in case of faults

Cutting torque is displayed via an indicator for easy process monitoring.

Optional safety cover* enhances operational safety.

*Note: The safety cover is optional for the JR4503ERT. The JR4603ERT is not equipped with a safety cover, users must prepare a suitable safety enclosure.

Safety-Oriented Design

New Feature: Position Adjustment with USB Camera

The JR4000 Series supports position correction (offset correction) using a USB camera (optional).

When workpiece position shifts, the system:

  • Calculates the offset from the camera image
  • Enabling accurate cuts after correction.

No dedicated industrial camera required, reducing system cost while maintaining high accuracy.

Correction results can be saved for traceability and reporting.

PC Software 'JR C-Points III' (Optional)

Teaching/Position Adjustment with USB Camera (New Feature)

CAD-based graphic editing

  • Import DXF, JPG files.
  • Create and edit points, straight lines, arcs, and spline curves directly on the PC.
  • Ensures accurate path definition even in hard-to-access areas.

Point Graphic Editing Function

Tool Offset Function

  • Specify the blade diameter to offset the cutting path by the blade radius.
  • This allows for easy alignment and reconfiguration during program creation.

Multi-language support

  • The PC software supports Japanese, English and Chinese (Simplified/Traditional).
  • Teaching pendant supports 11 languages, including Vietnamese.
  • Suitable for multinational manufacturing environments.

Performance Enhancements

  • Large program capacity:
    • Up to 999 programs.
    • Up to 32,000 points.
    • Ideal for high-mix, low-volume production and flexible automation lines.
  • Increased speed and acceleration*:
    • Maximum XY-axis speed: 1000 mm/s
    • Maximum XY-axis acceleration: 3400 mm/s²

*Compared to the previous generation. Not applicable to models with a 200 mm XY stroke.

*1 Maximum speed can vary depending upon conditions.

*2 Repeatability was measured at a constant temperature for the robot unit only and does not represent a guarantee of absolute precision.

*3 Be sure to use dry air. Supplying air containing moisture or oil can damage the device.

*4 If the flow rate is insufficient, vacuum pressure will decrease during operation, reducing dust collection efficiency. Therefore, ensure a flow rate of 200 Nℓ/min is supplied.

*5 The safety cover is optional for the JR4503ERT. Also, the JR4603 does not come with a safety cover. Please prepare a safety cover at the user side.

*CE specifications are not supported.

*Specifications may be modified without prior notice to improve product quality.
