The ASM CT201409 is a high-precision calibration artifact used to conduct Capability Process Index (CPK) testing on SIPLACE machines. Unlike standard production capacitors or resistors, these "Chips" are manufactured to sub-micron geometric tolerances with standardized reflective properties. This ensures that when the machine’s vision system captures the chip, the data is a pure reflection of the Machine’s Mechanical Accuracy, not the component’s manufacturing defects. CT201409 is essential for verifying the placement integrity of 1005 (Metric 0402) and 0603 (Metric 1608) components during factory acceptance tests or annual quality audits.
GEEKVALUE provides the CT201409 with a focus on Dimensional Absolute Truth. We ensure that the chips are free from the edge-burrs or termination irregularities found in standard components, providing your quality engineers with a "Clean Signal" for accuracy calculation.

Strategic Performance Advantages
· Standardized Optical Contrast: The CT201409 features a High-Definition Matte Surface designed to interact perfectly with SIPLACE LP and CO cameras. By eliminating "Glint" and "Shadowing," it ensures that the vision PC calculates the component's center with absolute certainty, making it the only valid way to measure true Cpk.
· Zero-Warp Geometry: Standard SMT components often have slight curvature or height variations. The CT201409 is engineered for Planar Perfection, ensuring that the nozzle’s vacuum seal and the subsequent "Soft Landing" on the calibration board are not influenced by component geometry errors.
· Consistent Taping Tension: GEEKVALUE’s CT201409 is supplied in Anti-Static (ESD) Precision Reels. We ensure the pocket-to-pocket pitch and tape tension are identical across the entire reel, preventing "Feeder Jitter" from contaminating your accuracy test results.
· Traceable Process Benchmark: Using the CT201409 allows factory managers to create a Historical Performance Baseline. By using the same standard chip every quarter, you can detect subtle wear in gantry motors or head bearings before they result in real production defects.
The GEEKVALUE Advantage: "Verified Accuracy, Documented Quality"
1. 360° Total Cost Optimization (TCO)
Running an accuracy test with standard production parts leads to "False Positives" due to part variations. GEEKVALUE optimizes your TCO by providing CT201409 CPK Chips that provide a Pure Accuracy Signal. By getting a true reading of your machine’s health, you can avoid unnecessary maintenance or, conversely, prevent thousands of dollars in rework by catching a drift in gantry alignment early.
2. Trusted by 400+ Public Companies
Global leaders in automotive safety systems and aerospace avionics trust GEEKVALUE for their process validation standards. Our CT201409 chips are the standard choice for listed companies that must provide CPK $\geq 1.33$ or $1.66$ reports to their end-customers as proof of manufacturing capability.
3. Optimized for "X-Series" Performance Mode
GEEKVALUE’s CT201409 is factory-checked to be compatible with the SIPLACE CPK-Software Module. We ensure that the chips fit the standard software vision models for 1005 and 0603 sizes, allowing for an automated test run that delivers a comprehensive PDF accuracy report in minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can I reuse the CT201409 chips after a test run?
While physically possible if they aren't placed into solder paste, GEEKVALUE recommends Single-Use for the highest accuracy. Once a chip has been picked and placed onto an adhesive glass plate (for testing), micro-scratches or adhesive residue can alter its optical profile, potentially skewing the results of the next test.
Q2: What is the difference between CT201409 and standard resistors for testing?
Standard resistors have manufacturing tolerances $(\pm 5\%\text{ to }10\%)$. The CT201409 has a tolerance of nearly zero. Using standard parts measures the combination of part and machine error; using CT201409 measures only the machine error.
Q3: Does the CT201409 work with the new TX-series machines?
Yes. The CT201409 is designed for the high-resolution vision systems of the X, SX, and TX series. It is particularly effective for the TX series, where the placement of 1005 (0402) components at ultra-high speeds requires the most rigorous validation.
Q4: How many chips are required for a standard CPK test?
A statistically significant CPK test typically requires a minimum of 50 to 100 placements per head or gantry. GEEKVALUE provides these in full reels to ensure you have enough for a comprehensive multi-gantry machine audit.
