What it is

The ASM Siplace SX Series is an SMT placement platform used for pick-and-place assembly of electronic components onto printed circuit boards.^[4]^[1]

How it works

The SIPLACE SX platform uses removable gantries and configurable placement heads to vary capacity and component-handling capability.^[2]^[7]

Where it fits in the process flow

The SIPLACE SX is positioned for high-mix production, frequent product changes, and line configurations that need capacity to be adjusted without rebuilding the line.^[2]^[8]^[7]

Applications

The SIPLACE SX platform is used for high-mix electronics production, automotive and power electronics, new-product introduction, and products with large or odd-shaped components.^[2]
