APEX Proves to be a positive showcase for SIPLACE

APEX proved once again to be the premier trade show in North America and a positive showcase for SIPLACE to present its latest innovations. And, once again, Siemens Electronics Assembly Systems (SEAS) set the industry benchmark by performing live gantry exchange presentations in record breaking time with its new SIPLACE SX platform and “Capacity-on-Demand” concept. The demonstrations proved how quickly and easily performance could be added to an existing line without influencing feeder capacity and how quickly and easily feeder capacity could be added without influencing performance. Attendees were captivated with the scalable machine architecture of the highly innovative SIPLACE SX, realizing the extraordinary advantages to investing and tailoring a line to exactly what they need - when they need it.

The SIPLACE SX is the first placement platform on the market to offer optimum placement speed and feeder capacity with scalable gantry modularity. With this new groundbreaking platform time-consuming and expensive line reconfigurations are a thing of the past. Customers can make a minimal initial investment and gain maximum scalability.

The SIPLACE SX is driven by the latest generation SIRIO software which has an extensive set of new tools to help get the best out of the machine whether running prototypes or higher volume production. And, the SIPLACE SX provides outstanding feeder capacity with 129 feeder positions on only 1.5 meters of line space.

SIPLACE SX powered by SIPLACE MultiStar

Additionally, the SIPLACE SX powered by the SIPLACE MultiStar (Collect & Pick & Place) head can cover the entire component spectrum using only one placement head in three different placement modes eliminating the need for head changes and line reconfigurations. The SIPLACE MultiStar enables manufacturers to simplify line setup and programming and ensures optimal line balancing for higher productivity and lower operational costs.

The SIPLACE MultiStar is the ideal answer to shrinking lot sizes, short production life cycles and customers’ demand for a highly-flexible balanced SMT line. Particularly in the end-of-line, the SIPLACE MultiStar can save space and time and eliminate a frequent bottleneck.
