Used ASM siplace SX1

The ASM SX1 placement machine is a compact, highly flexible entry-level SMT placement system from the ASMPT SIPLACE SX series, specifically engineered for high-mix, low-volume production environments that require frequent product changeovers.

Core Performance and Architecture

The machine offers a placement accuracy of ±40 μm @ 3σ (per IPC standards) and a maximum placement speed of 24,000 CPH (for chip components). As part of the SX family, it comes standard with the signature Track Feeder system, which supports offline setup and near-instantaneous online changeovers, drastically reducing downtime during product transitions. It is capable of handling a wide range of components, from 0201 micro-components to large, odd-form parts.

Positioning and Applications

Featuring a single-gantry architecture, the SX1 boasts a highly compact footprint. Compared to the SX2 and SX4 models, the SX1 offers a more streamlined configuration and output capacity, resulting in a lower cost of entry. It serves as an ideal "flexible supplement" within mixed production lines—often paired with high-speed machines from the TX or X series—to handle small-batch, high-mix, or complex, odd-form component placement.

Summary

The SX1 is an entry-level placement machine designed to minimize changeover costs while maximizing flexibility. While it trades off some absolute speed, it retains the core capability for rapid, near-instantaneous changeovers, making it an excellent choice for small-to-medium-sized electronics manufacturers, as well as for trial production, prototyping, and high-mix production lines in large-scale manufacturing facilities.
