In the ASM SIPLACE spare parts system, the part number 03056626 (commonly appearing with the full suffix "-02") corresponds to the "12-Segm Star Compl. DLM3"—a 12-segment star-shaped rotary assembly, often referred to as the "octopus" core component of the rotary placement head.
Core Function and Positioning
This assembly serves as the primary execution unit for ASM’s high-speed rotary placement heads (such as the "Star" head found on machines like the SIPLACE D2). It consists of 12 segments, each housing a nozzle position; as the assembly rotates at high speed, these segments work in coordination to perform the entire sequence of picking, holding, and placing components. Classified by suppliers as a "Chip Mounter Head" component, it integrates vacuum generation and distribution functions, ensuring that each nozzle can securely hold even tiny components—such as 0201-sized parts—during high-speed operation.
