The unit 00117012 (full part number: 00117012-xx) is not a conventional component feeder; rather, it is a Linear Dipping Unit (LDU 2X) designed for the ASM SIPLACE TX series of pick-and-place machines—a specialized type of feeder module.
Core Function and Positioning
This module is used to apply a precise thickness of flux to the surfaces of components—such as flip-chips or CSPs—prior to placement, thereby enhancing subsequent soldering performance. It is mounted on a feeder trolley, much like a standard X-series feeder, and is controlled via the production line software. During operation, the placement head picks up a component and lowers it into the unit to perform the dipping/flux-coating process.
Key Specifications
The unit measures 629 × 105 × 202 mm and weighs approximately 11 kg. It requires a power supply of 24–30V DC (60W). The operating environment must be maintained at a temperature of 18–25°C and a humidity level of 30%–75%. Please note the distinction: 00117011 is the LDU-X model for the X series, while 00117012 is the LDU 2X model for the TX series.
