ASM siplace HS60 for sale

The ASM HS60 (full name: SIPLACE HS60) is a classic high-speed modular SMT placement machine from ASMPT’s earlier SIPLACE series. Renowned for its high throughput and stable mass-production capabilities, it was widely used in high-volume manufacturing sectors such as consumer electronics and telecommunications equipment.

Core Performance

Placement Rate: Up to 60,000 CPH (components per hour) for chip components—a standard performance level for high-speed machines of its era.

Placement Accuracy: Approximately ±50 μm @ 3σ (per IPC standards), sufficient for standard chip components and medium-sized parts.

Component Range: Supports chip components from size 0402 upwards, with compatibility for various larger components; modular placement heads allow for adaptation to different production capacity requirements.

Architecture and Positioning

The HS60 features a modular design that supports dual-track transport and multi-machine line integration, offering flexible scalability based on production line needs. It utilizes a high-speed rotary placement head architecture, specifically optimized for the efficient placement of standard chip components. Within the SIPLACE product lineup, the HS60 typically served as the high-speed "workhorse" at the front end of the line, handling the bulk of passive components (resistors and capacitors) on a PCB, while subsequent, more flexible machines managed irregularly shaped or specialized components.

Market Status

As an early classic model in the SIPLACE family, the HS60 was a common sight on SMT production lines from the mid-to-late 2000s through the early 2010s. Today, most HS60 units in circulation are pre-owned; they are frequently found in small-to-medium-volume production environments that require high throughput but operate under budget constraints.

Summary

The HS60 is a classic modular placement machine defined by its stable, high-speed output, representing a significant product from ASMPT’s early presence in the high-speed SMT market.
