Used ASM TX2

The ASM TX2 placement machine is a quintessential ultra-compact, high-speed SMT placement system from ASMPT’s SIPLACE TX series. While it shares a core platform with the TX2i, it occupies a distinct position in terms of configuration. The primary value of the TX2 lies in its ability to deliver exceptionally high throughput within a minimal footprint, making it purpose-built for high-density, high-volume manufacturing.

Core Performance and Advantages

The machine features a dual-gantry parallel placement architecture, achieving speeds of up to 96,000 CPH (components per hour) while ensuring stable placement of ultra-miniature components, such as the 0201 (metric) size. By integrating two gantries into a chassis only about one meter wide, the system enables a significant boost in production capacity within a very limited factory-floor footprint. It offers a placement accuracy of ±35 μm @ 3σ (per IPC standards) and supports flexible switching between single-lane and dual-lane transport modes.

Applications and Positioning

The TX2 is an expert in space optimization, making it ideal for the manufacturing of consumer electronics, smartphones, and wearable devices. In environments where floor space is at a premium and maximum output is required, the TX2 serves as a high-density, core production module—multiple units can be linked together to achieve greater economies of scale. When combined with the SIPLACE platform’s intelligent feeders and rapid changeover systems, the TX2 minimizes downtime during frequent product changeovers. It is the perfect choice for enterprises that prioritize extreme space efficiency and high-mix production.
