What it is

The ASM Siplace SX is an assembly and surface-mount technology pick-and-place machine.[1][2]

The SIPLACE SX is a flexible SMT placement platform with interchangeable gantries and configurable placement heads.[3][9][10]

How it works

The SIPLACE SX uses removable gantries, and its installed head configuration determines component range, output, placement force, and the machine role within a line.[4][3]

The SIPLACE SX family includes CP20, CPP, and TWIN or TH head options, and the class supports feeder, conveyor, camera, and software combinations that vary by configured machine.[4][9][10]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The ASM Siplace SX sits in SMT assembly after material preparation and before downstream soldering and inspection steps.

Applications

The SIPLACE SX is used for high-mix electronics production, automotive and power electronics, new-product introduction, and long or large printed circuit boards.[4][9][10]

Frequently asked questions

What is the placement speed of the SIPLACE SX1 and SX2?

The SIPLACE SX1 has a placement speed of up to 43,250 cph, and the SIPLACE SX2 has a placement speed of up to 86,500 cph (SIPLACE benchmark). IPC-rated speeds are 33,000 cph for the SX1 and 66,000 cph for the SX2.[4][9]

What is the placement accuracy of the Siplace SX?

The platform placement accuracy is ±25 µm @ 3σ. With the TwinStar (TWIN) head, the placement accuracy is 22 µm @ 3σ.[4][9]

What feeder capacity does the Siplace SX offer?

The Siplace SX has a feeder capacity of up to 120 × 8-mm slots. The machine can be equipped with two feeder carts, each with 60 slots.[1][4][9]

What are the available placement head options?

Three placement head types are available: the CP20 (SpeedStar) high-speed head, the CPP (MultiStar) flexible head that can switch between pick-and-place, collect-and-place, and mixed modes, and the TWIN (TwinStar) head for large, heavy, and odd-shaped components.[4][9]

What board sizes does the Siplace SX support?

The standard board size range is 50 mm × 50 mm to 1,525 mm × 560 mm. Single-track conveyor supports boards up to 450 mm × 560 mm, and dual-track conveyor supports boards up to 450 mm × 265 mm.[2][9]
