ASM E by SIPLACE CP14 Machine Overview

E by SIPLACE was developed as a flexible all-round placement platform for the mid-speed production segment. Rather than using several fixed machine model numbers, the platform is mainly differentiated by the placement head installed on its single X/Y gantry.

An E by SIPLACE machine equipped with the CP14 head is optimized for fast and repeatable placement of small tape-fed components. Fourteen individually controlled nozzle segments collect components from the feeder area, inspect them through the digital vision system and place them onto the stationary PCB.

E by SIPLACE CP14 Technical Specifications

Configuration notice: E by SIPLACE machines may have different placement heads, component tables, conveyors, software versions and optional long-board systems. Final machine capability must be confirmed from the actual equipment label, installed CP14 head, conveyor measurements and powered-on inspection.

CP14 Is the Placement Head, Not a Separate Machine Platform

The official machine platform is called E by SIPLACE. CP14 identifies the placement head installed on the machine rather than a completely separate machine chassis.

Used-equipment listings commonly use terms such as:

• ASM E by SIPLACE CP14

• SIPLACE E CP14 machine

• ASM CP14 placement machine

• E by SIPLACE CP14 chip mounter

• Siemens E by SIPLACE CP14

These descriptions normally refer to an E by SIPLACE base machine equipped with a CP14 placement head.

Before quotation, confirm:

• Complete machine-label photograph

• Machine serial number

• Manufacturing year

• Installed placement-head label

• CP14 head part and serial numbers

• Machine-software version

• Component-table configuration

• Conveyor and Long Board Option

How the CP14 Collect & Place Head Works

The CP14 uses fourteen nozzle segments arranged within a high-speed Collect & Place head. Rather than returning to the feeder area after each individual placement, the head can collect several components before moving to the PCB.

A typical CP14 placement cycle includes:

1. The head moves to the programmed feeder pickup positions.

2. Components are collected by the appropriate nozzle segments.

3. Each component is captured by the digital vision system.

4. Pickup offset and component rotation are calculated.

5. The head moves to the stationary PCB.

6. Components are placed at their programmed coordinates.

7. Vacuum and component monitoring verify the process.

Benefits of the CP14 Placement Principle

• Multiple components can be collected during one head cycle

• Component position 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 the placement process

• Small components can be processed at consistent vision speed

• Placement force can be programmed according to the component

CP14 Component Range

The CP14 is designed primarily for small standard components. Its published range extends from approximately 01005 to 6 × 6 mm, with a maximum component height of approximately 4 mm.

Typical Components for the CP14 Head

• 01005 and 0201 chip resistors

• Multilayer ceramic capacitors

• Small diodes

• SOT transistors

• Resistor and capacitor arrays

• Small-outline integrated circuits

• Small CSP packages

• Selected small BGA packages

• LED components

• Other compatible tape-fed SMD packages

The CP14 should not be selected for components larger than approximately 6 × 6 mm without a component-specific technical review. Larger ICs, connectors, tall devices and odd-shaped parts normally require another E by SIPLACE head configuration.

Why the Complete E Series Range Reaches 200 × 110 mm

The complete E by SIPLACE platform can process components from approximately 01005 to 200 × 110 mm, but this range is achieved through several different placement heads.

A CP14-equipped machine cannot be advertised as supporting 200 × 110 mm components unless the machine also includes a compatible TH head configuration. The installed head determines the real component spectrum.

Understanding the 45,300 CPH Rating

The published 45,300 CPH value describes the maximum CP14 placement performance under defined machine and component conditions. It should not be treated as guaranteed output for every PCB program.

Factors Affecting Actual CP14 Output

• Number of components placed on each PCB

• Component feeder positions

• Component tape widths

• PCB dimensions and panel arrangement

• Required component rotations

• Number of nozzle types

• Nozzle-change frequency

• Component inspection requirements

• Feeder indexing time

• Pickup retries and rejection rate

• Conveyor loading and unloading time

• CP14 head and sleeve condition

• Nozzle cleanliness and vacuum stability

• Feeder calibration

• Production-program optimization

A realistic cycle-time estimate should be calculated from the actual BOM, placement coordinates, feeder layout, PCB dimensions and target production output.

High-Resolution Digital Vision System

E by SIPLACE uses a high-resolution digital vision system to inspect each component before placement. Individual lighting configurations can be selected according to the component surface, shape and package structure.

Depending on the installed hardware and software, vision functions may include:

• Component-presence verification

• Pickup-position measurement

• Component-rotation correction

• Package-shape recognition

• PCB fiducial recognition

• Component teaching through image-recognition algorithms

• Recognition of small components without reducing the vision speed

• Bad-board and bad-panel handling

• Production setup verification

The condition of the component camera, PCB camera, lighting units and vision calibration should be checked before purchasing a used machine.

Programmable Placement-Force Control

The E by SIPLACE head system provides individually programmable placement-force control. This allows different component types to be assigned suitable placement conditions within the same PCB program.

Controlled placement force can help:

• Reduce excessive pressure on small components

• Prevent unnecessary disturbance of solder-paste deposits

• Compensate for changes in component pickup height

• Improve placement consistency on warped PCBs

• Support delicate package and LED applications

• Maintain repeatability across different product programs

Placement-force functions still depend on correct component definition, nozzle selection, PCB support and machine calibration.

Linear Drives and Positioning Stability

E by SIPLACE uses linear motors, high-resolution scales and modern position-control systems for the placement gantry axes. The rigid machine chassis and linear-drive design are intended to maintain positioning accuracy over extended production periods.

Important areas to check on a used machine include:

• X-axis and Y-axis movement

• Linear-motor noise and vibration

• Position encoder condition

• Reference and homing operation

• Axis-drive alarm history

• Trailing cables and cable chains

• Gantry alignment and calibration

• Machine frame and levelling condition

120 Feeder Positions and Component Tables

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 physical feeders depends on the component tape-width combination.

Component Table Benefits

• Fast setup and removal of feeder modules

• Offline preparation of the next product setup

• Reduced product-change time

• Feeder replacement during suitable production conditions

• Stable feeder pickup positions

• Support for Smartfeeder E and additional supply options

• Component-table preparation away from the machine

Feeder Package Information to Confirm

• Number of component tables included

• Number of 8 mm feeders included

• Quantity of 12 mm, 16 mm and wider feeders

• Smartfeeder E part numbers

• Feeder firmware and machine compatibility

• Feeder calibration status

• Tape-indexing and pickup performance

• Component-table communication condition

• Table wheels, docking pins and locks

• Reel holders and waste-tape containers

Feeders and component tables should not be assumed to be included with every used machine. The quotation should list the machine, CP14 head, tables, feeders, nozzles and spare parts separately.

Smartfeeder E Component Supply

Smartfeeder E units are designed to present each component at a repeatable pickup position. Closed-loop feeder control and automatic calibration help maintain stable tape indexing.

Depending on feeder configuration, practical benefits may include:

• Automatic feeder calibration

• Closed-loop tape-position control

• Hot-swappable feeder replacement

• Stable component pickup positions

• Reduced routine maintenance

• Faster product setup

• Improved material verification

Before using existing feeders with a purchased machine, confirm the feeder generation, interface, firmware and machine-software compatibility.

PCB Size and Long Board Option

The E by SIPLACE platform can be configured for standard PCB production or extended long-board applications. Published platform data lists a maximum format of approximately 1,200 × 460 mm when the Long Board Option is installed.

PCB lengths above approximately 460 mm require the relevant long-board configuration. This capability should not be assigned automatically to every used E by SIPLACE machine.

PCB Information Required Before Selection

• Minimum PCB length and width

• Maximum PCB or panel dimensions

• PCB thickness

• Maximum assembled-board weight

• PCB transport direction

• Fixed conveyor-rail position

• Required production-line height

• PCB edge-clearance requirement

• Long Board Option requirement

• Board support and warpage-control requirement

• Interface with upstream and downstream equipment

Request actual conveyor photographs, measurements and a powered-on board-transport test before confirming PCB compatibility.

Typical CP14 Production Applications

The CP14 configuration is best suited to production programs dominated by small standard tape-fed components.

• Industrial control PCB assemblies

• Automotive electronic modules

• Consumer electronic products

• Telecommunications equipment

• LED lighting and control boards

• Power-supply PCB assemblies

• Medical electronic products

• Small and medium-volume EMS production

• High-mix products with frequent setup changes

• Products requiring repeatable small-component placement

When the PCB contains many large ICs, connectors, tall components or odd-shaped parts, another E by SIPLACE head configuration or an additional flexible placement machine may be required.

E by SIPLACE Production-Line Configurations

ASM promoted the E by SIPLACE platform for Basic, Flex and Volume line arrangements. Each machine can contribute up to 120 feeder positions, while line capacity can be expanded by installing additional E by SIPLACE machines.

These line values assume suitable machine and head configurations. Actual output depends on component distribution, head type, feeder setup and complete production-line balance.

Using CP14 With Other E by SIPLACE Configurations

A CP14-equipped machine can be used as the small-component placement stage of a multi-machine E by SIPLACE line.

A representative line may include:

1. PCB loader

2. Solder paste printer

3. Solder paste inspection system

4. E by SIPLACE machine with CP14 head

5. E by SIPLACE machine with CP12/PP or TH head

6. Reflow oven

7. Automatic optical inspection system

8. PCB unloader

The CP14 machine places small resistors, capacitors and standard packages. The flexible E by SIPLACE machine then completes larger ICs, trays, connectors and special components.

The total line output is determined by its slowest process. A 45,300 CPH CP14 machine will not automatically produce that output when the flexible mounter, printer, conveyor, reflow oven or inspection system remains the primary bottleneck.

E by SIPLACE CP14 Machine vs CP14 Replacement Head
