Configuration notice: E by SIPLACE machines may have different placement heads, conveyors, component tables, software versions and long-board options. Final capability must be verified from the actual machine label, installed CP12 head, conveyor measurements and powered-on inspection.
The official machine platform is called E by SIPLACE. CP12 identifies the placement head installed on the machine rather than a separate machine chassis.
The same E by SIPLACE base platform may be equipped with:
CP14 head for higher-speed small-component placement
CP12 head for broader small-to-medium component coverage
CP12/PP head for combined Collect & Place and Pick & Place operation
CP6/PP head for larger flexible component handling
TH head for large and odd-shaped components
Used-equipment listings may describe the CP12 machine as:
ASM E by SIPLACE CP12
SIPLACE E CP12 machine
ASM CP12 chip mounter
E by SIPLACE CP12 placement machine
Siemens SIPLACE E CP12
Machine identification should be based on the original equipment label and installed head rather than the shortened sales title.

Included feeders and nozzle package
The CP12 uses twelve nozzle segments arranged in a Collect & Place head. Instead of returning to the feeder area after every placement, the head can collect several components before moving to the PCB.
A typical operating cycle includes:
The head moves to the assigned feeder pickup positions.
Components are collected by suitable nozzle segments.
Each component is captured by the digital vision system.
Pickup position and component rotation are calculated.
The head moves to the stationary PCB.
The components are placed at their programmed coordinates.
Vacuum and component monitoring verify the placement process.
Multiple components can be collected during one head cycle
Pickup offsets can be corrected before placement
Component rotation can be inspected and adjusted
Missing or incorrectly picked components can be detected
Head travel between feeders and PCB can be reduced
The PCB remains stationary during placement
Different nozzle types can support a broader package range
Placement force can be programmed according to component requirements
The CP12 is designed for small and medium-sized components. Its published component range extends from approximately 01005 to 18.7 × 18.7 mm, with a maximum component height of approximately 7.5 mm.

The CP12 and CP12/PP names are similar, but they describe different placement-head capabilities.
| Comparison | CP12 | CP12/PP |
|---|---|---|
| Head principle | 12-segment Collect & Place | Combined Collect & Place and Pick & Place configuration |
| Published speed | Up to approximately 24,300 CPH | Up to approximately 24,200 CPH |
| Component range | 01005 to approximately 18.7 × 18.7 mm | 01005 to selected components around 45 × 98 mm |
| Maximum component height | Approximately 7.5 mm | Approximately 19 mm |
| Published accuracy | Approximately 41 μm at 3 sigma | Approximately 37.5 μm at 3 sigma in the applicable specification |
| Primary role | Small and medium standard SMD placement | Flexible mixed-component placement |
The standard CP12 is not a software-switchable Pick & Place head. Customers requiring larger, taller or tray-fed components should confirm whether the machine has a CP12/PP configuration rather than assuming that every CP12 machine has the same capability.
| Comparison | CP14 | CP12 |
|---|---|---|
| Nozzle segments | 14 | 12 |
| Published speed | Up to approximately 45,300 CPH | Up to approximately 24,300 CPH |
| Component range | 01005 to approximately 6 × 6 mm | 01005 to approximately 18.7 × 18.7 mm |
| Maximum component height | Approximately 4 mm | Approximately 7.5 mm |
| Published accuracy | Approximately 41 μm at 3 sigma | Approximately 41 μm at 3 sigma |
| Primary advantage | Higher small-component output | Broader component-size coverage |
The CP14 is better suited to products dominated by small passive components, while the CP12 provides greater flexibility for medium-sized IC packages.
Review the ASM E by SIPLACE CP14 placement machine when higher small-component output is the primary production requirement.
The published 24,300 CPH figure describes CP12 performance under defined machine and component conditions. It should not be treated as guaranteed output for every PCB program.

A realistic cycle-time estimate should be based on the actual PCB BOM, placement coordinates, feeder layout, panel dimensions and target hourly output.
The E by SIPLACE digital vision system captures and inspects components before placement. Configurable illumination helps recognize different component surfaces, edges, leads and package structures.
Depending on the installed hardware and software, available functions may include:
Component-presence verification
Pickup-position measurement
Component-rotation correction
Package-shape recognition
PCB fiducial recognition
Component teaching through image-recognition tools
Vision rejection of incorrectly picked components
Bad-board and bad-panel handling
Production setup verification
When inspecting a used machine, test the component camera, PCB camera, lighting units, fiducial recognition and camera calibration under powered-on operating conditions.
E by SIPLACE provides programmable placement-force control for different components and product programs. This helps maintain controlled contact between the component and PCB during placement.
Placement-force control can help:
Reduce excessive pressure on small packages
Prevent unnecessary disturbance of solder paste
Compensate for component pickup-height differences
Improve placement stability on warped PCBs
Support sensitive LED and IC packages
Maintain repeatable placement across different products
Correct force control still depends on suitable nozzles, component definitions, PCB support, solder-paste quality and machine calibration.
E by SIPLACE uses linear motors, high-resolution position scales and a rigid machine chassis to support repeatable gantry motion.
X-axis and Y-axis movement
Noise and vibration during acceleration
Machine homing and reference operation
Linear-motor condition
Position-scale and encoder condition

Gantry alignment and calibration
Machine levelling and frame condition
An E by SIPLACE machine can provide up to 120 feeder positions when two component tables are installed and capacity is calculated using standard 8 mm feeder-slot width.
Wider feeders occupy multiple positions, so the actual number of installed feeder units depends on the component tape-width combination.

Feeders and component tables are not automatically included with every used machine. The commercial quotation should list the machine, CP12 head, component tables, feeders, nozzles and spare parts separately.
Smartfeeder E units are designed to present components at repeatable pickup positions and support efficient product changeover.
Depending on feeder generation and machine configuration, practical functions may include:
Automatic feeder calibration
Closed-loop tape-position control
Hot-swappable feeder replacement
Stable component pickup positions
Fast setup and product changeover
Reduced routine feeder maintenance
Improved material verification
The hot-swappable function applies to compatible feeder units. It should not be described as permission to remove or replace the CP12 placement head while the machine is operating.
The E by SIPLACE platform can be configured for standard PCB production or extended long-board applications. Published platform data lists a maximum PCB format of approximately 1,200 × 460 mm when the Long Board Option is installed.
PCB lengths above approximately 460 mm require the corresponding long-board configuration. This capability should not be assigned automatically to every used machine.

High-mix products with frequent setup changes
PCB assemblies containing passive components and medium-sized ICs
When the PCB contains large connectors, tall devices, heavy components or irregular mechanical parts, a CP12/PP, CP6/PP or TH machine may be more appropriate.
A CP12-equipped machine can operate as a standalone placement system or as part of a multi-machine E by SIPLACE line.
A representative line may include:
PCB loader
Solder paste printer
Solder paste inspection system
E by SIPLACE machine with CP14 or CP12 head
E by SIPLACE machine with CP12/PP or TH head
Reflow oven
Automatic optical inspection system
PCB unloader
The CP12 machine can place small passive components, arrays and medium-sized IC packages. A CP12/PP or TH machine can then complete taller, larger, tray-fed or odd-shaped components.
The total line output is determined by the slowest process. A published CP12 speed of 24,300 CPH does not guarantee the same output for the complete line.
A used CP12 machine should be evaluated as a complete placement system. A successful startup does not confirm that the head, cameras, feeders and conveyor can maintain stable production.
