ASM siplace TX1 for sale

The ASM TX1 is an entry-level, ultra-compact SMT placement machine from the ASMPT SIPLACE TX series. It is designed to deliver cost-effective placement capacity within a minimal footprint, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained and budget-sensitive production environments—particularly those handling small-to-medium batch sizes or high-mix product portfolios.

Core Performance

The machine features a single-gantry architecture driven by linear motors. It offers a placement accuracy of ±40 μm @ 3σ (per IPC standards) and achieves a maximum placement speed of 48,000 CPH (for chip components). It supports the placement of ultra-miniature components—down to the 0201 (metric) size—while maintaining stable handling of standard components. Compared to the dual-gantry TX2 model in the same series, the TX1 trades off some peak speed for a more streamlined, compact design.

Architecture and Flexibility

Retaining the signature compact footprint of the SIPLACE TX series, the TX1 supports modular line configurations and rapid product changeovers. Its feeder system is compatible with various interfaces and ensures low component wastage (low pick-and-place error rates), making it well-suited for production lines that require frequent product switching. Integrated intelligent control functions enable real-time monitoring of placement quality and facilitate line balancing in coordination with other machines in the TX series.

Summary

As a single-gantry model within the TX series, the TX1 prioritizes cost-effectiveness and a small footprint, sacrificing some peak throughput to offer a more accessible entry point. It is well-suited for flexible SMT production lines—such as those in consumer electronics or industrial control—where space and cost are critical concerns, yet consistent, high-quality output remains a requirement.
