SIPLACE X4i S wins three awards

At this year’s Nepcon Shanghai show the SIPLACE team received two highly influential awards for its new high-end SIPLACE X4i S platform: the EM Innovation Award China, the SMT China Vision Award and the SMT China Prime Product Award. For the fifth time running now, SIPLACE was able to win these prestigious awards, which are given out by independent panels. The SIPLACE X4i S impressed the panellists especially with its high performance rating, flexible features and great usability. With the new generation of the SIPLACE X platform, ASM Assembly Systems is aiming to expand its market share in sophisticated high-speed applications.

Faster, smaller and more flexible
New generation of the SIPLACE X-Series

New from SIPLACE: ASM Assembly Systems unveils the next generation of its successful SIPLACE X high-end platform. Although the new machines are up to 0.5 meters shorter than the previous generation, they offer up to ten percent more performance. For example, the new SIPLACE X4i S flagship delivers a top benchmark value of 120,000 cph (components per hour) in a footprint of only 1.9 x 2.6 meters. The new three-gantry and four-gantry models of the new high-end platform impress with significantly improved numbers for investment-critical ratios like floorspace/performance and price/performance. Slots for up to 160 8-mm feeders, conveyors for boards up to 650 mm wide, barcode readers, SIPLACE Smart Pin Support, interchangeable gantries and new tray feeders expand the flexibility and usability of the new platform for demanding high-speed applications in electronics production.

SMT show success -
Great interest in new SIPLACE machines

Thanks to many new products from the areas of hardware, software and services, ASM Assembly Systems’ booth at the SMT Hybrid & Packaging 2013 scored high visitor numbers. The great interest was not only created by putting a focus on "SIPLACE solutions for the entire production workflow" – two new SIPLACE placement machines also were successfully unveiled this year. The new SIPLACE X3 S is the latest generation of the SIPLACE X high-end platform, while the SIPLACE D1i is a new solution for the more price-sensitive SMT production segment. Thus the SIPLACE team presented intelligent solutions from both ends of its product range. Gabriela Reckewerth, Director Global SIPLACE Marketing, was happy with the great response:
