Used ASM X2S

The ASM X2S is a highly flexible, modular SMT placement machine from the ASMPT SIPLACE X series. It is designed for efficient, high-mix, variable-volume production within a compact footprint—making it particularly well-suited for medium-volume manufacturing in sectors such as automotive electronics, industrial control, and communications equipment.

Core Performance

Equipped with linear motor drives and a digital vision system, the X2S delivers a placement accuracy of ±40 μm @ 3σ (per IPC standards) and a maximum placement speed of 42,500 CPH (for chip components). It handles a wide range of components, from ultra-miniature 01005 parts to large, odd-form devices, balancing high-speed processing of tiny components with the stable placement of larger items like connectors and shielding covers. While its speed is lower than that of the X3S/X4 series, it offers superior advantages for high-mix production environments requiring frequent product changeovers.

Architecture and Flexibility

The X2S features a dual-gantry, single-frame architecture and supports dual-track transport, allowing for flexible configuration within a production line. Its feeder system is compatible with various interfaces, ensuring rapid changeovers and low component wastage (low pick-error/rejection rates). Intelligent feeding and process control functions enable real-time monitoring of placement quality; furthermore, the X2S can be integrated with other models in the X series to create hybrid production lines that balance throughput with operational flexibility.

Positioning Summary

Within the SIPLACE X series, the X2S serves as an entry-level capacity model that prioritizes flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Compared to the X3S/X4 series, it trades some peak speed for a lower capital investment and enhanced changeover agility. It is an ideal solution for SMT lines handling high-mix, small-to-medium volume production, functioning as a flexible, modular component within a high-mix manufacturing environment.
