The SIPLACE TX micron is the reply to the challenges producers face in SiP (system-in-package) manufacturing. The versatile platform combines the pace of SMT meeting with the complexity of die processing. The brand new model of the pick-and-place machine has been considerably improved by market and innovation chief ASMPT when it comes to pace and placement accuracy in addition to transport and processing choices. The hybrid system provides electronics producers larger flexibility and thus important aggressive benefits for his or her Clever Manufacturing facility.

A SiP (system-in-package) combines energetic and passive digital parts into compact useful teams for issues like radio modules in smartphones, wi-fi earphones, or smartwatches. The superior packaging know-how required for this assembles dies, naked semiconductor chips, in addition to basic SMT parts. The excessive demand for such modules can solely be happy with machines that course of dies with the identical excessive pace that’s frequent within the SMT world and with the extent of precision that’s frequent in die processing. It includes the location of passive SMD parts, which should usually be positioned very shut to one another, with distinctive precision.

Two worlds and three precision lessons in a single machine

The SIPLACE TX micron from ASMPT totally meets these powerful industrial necessities of the business. After an additional enhance within the machine’s precision, three accuracy lessons are actually out there for superior packaging purposes in a single machine: 10, 15, and 20 microns, every with a course of stability of three sigma. Regardless of its improved fundamental accuracy from 25 to twenty microns, the machine achieves a placement pace of 93,000 cph – a rise of 14 p.c in comparison with the earlier 20-micron class of the SIPLACE TX micron. With its most placement accuracy of 10 microns, the machine can course of an unprecedented 62,000 parts per hour even in blended SiP purposes.

Bigger parts and boards

Due to its bigger vacuum tooling, the SIPLACE TX micron can now course of substrates measuring as much as 300 by 240 millimeters with an accuracy of 15 microns @ 3 σ. New as nicely is the high-resolution SST54 circuit board digital camera with improved lighting efficiency for smaller buildings, fiducials, and barcodes.

With the Lengthy Board Choice, the SIPLACE TX micron can course of PCBs measuring as much as 590 by 460 millimeters (23.2 by 18.1 inches). Additionally new is an non-compulsory multi-purpose conveyor system that enables common PCBs, PCBs with carriers as much as 20.5 mm excessive or curvatures in addition to J-boats and JEDEC trays for use as carriers. And prospects who manufacture for extremely demanding prospects like these within the car business will recognize the non-compulsory stage of traceability straight from the tape.

Now suitable with SIPLACE Tray Unit

As an additional benefit for quick and uninterrupted manufacturing, the SIPLACE TX micron can now even be operated with the SIPLACE Tray Unit, which accommodates carriers that may every maintain two JEDEC trays. Relying on the scale of the parts, as much as 82 JEDEC trays or 41 broad trays measuring as much as 355 by 275 millimeters match into the unit. As a particular characteristic, new trays might be added with out having to interrupt the manufacturing as a result of the journal is break up right into a buffer zone for the continual provide and the primary storage space, which might be refilled with new trays.

Confirmed high quality

Unchanged within the new model are established options such because the cost-saving detection of broken or unusable parts and the high-resolution part imaginative and prescient system with blue mild that improves the picture distinction for particularly high quality buildings and balls. The SIPLACE TX micron can be licensed in accordance with ISO Class 7 cleanroom necessities and Semi S2/S8.

A protected funding

“ASMPT’s product portfolio covers a variety of areas for processing dies in addition to SMT parts,” explains Sylvester Demmel, Senior Product Supervisor at ASMPT. “To fulfill the altering market necessities, it was solely logical for us to mix these two worlds in a single machine, thus giving electronics producers the chance to learn from extra flexibility and financial benefits for his or her Clever Manufacturing facility. With its excessive precision and most placement speeds, the brand new SIPLACE TX micron is a future-proof funding that’s worthwhile.”
