03101981 (often appearing with the suffix -01) is a ceramic vacuum nozzle for ASM SIPLACE pick-and-place machines (specifically the 4103/6103 series), designed for picking up and placing SMD components.
Core Specifications
According to the ASM nozzle manual, this nozzle is constructed from ceramic material. It features a tip measuring 1.100 × 0.700 mm (length × width) and has an overall length of approximately 10.500 mm. The designations 4103 and 6103 refer to the same item; they share an identical mechanical structure and are fully interchangeable.
Compatibility and Functionality
This nozzle is compatible with various machine series, including the XS/X4iS, TX1/TX2/TX2i, and SX1/SX2/SX4 lines. It secures components using vacuum suction. While the ceramic tip offers excellent wear resistance, it is susceptible to damage from impact; therefore, care should be taken during installation and removal. Additionally, the internal passage should be cleaned regularly to prevent blockages that could lead to insufficient vacuum pressure.
