Used ASM SIPLACE TX2 mounter with up to 85,500 CPH, 80 feeder slots and CP20, CPP or TWIN head configurations.

SIPLACE TX Series Jul 15, 2026 SMT Knowledge

The ASM SIPLACE TX2 placement machine is a compact dual-gantry SMT mounter designed for high-output electronics production without requiring excessive line space. With benchmark placement performance of up to 85,500 components per hour, the TX2 provides a practical balance between small-component speed, flexible IC placement and support for selected large or odd-shaped components.

The actual production capability of a SIPLACE TX2 depends on its two installed placement heads. A machine equipped with two CP20 high-speed heads is optimized for small-component volume production, while configurations using CPP or TWIN heads provide a broader component range and more flexible placement functions.

GEEKVALUE supplies available used, inspected and refurbished SIPLACE TX2 machines according to the machine year, head configuration, conveyor arrangement, feeder package, software version and equipment condition. Explore the complete ASM SIPLACE TX Series to compare TX1, TX2 and TX2i placement platforms.

Configuration notice: The specifications above describe the general SIPLACE TX platform and common TX2 configurations. The exact speed, component spectrum, placement accuracy, PCB dimensions and feeder package of an individual machine must be confirmed from its nameplate, installed heads, conveyor system and software.

TX2 Is Not the Same as TX2i

The SIPLACE TX2 and TX2i belong to the same compact placement platform, but they have different published performance ratings and machine dimensions.

Used-equipment listings sometimes omit the letter “i” or apply the 96,000 CPH TX2i speed to a standard TX2. The complete machine nameplate must therefore be checked before a specification or quotation is confirmed.

ComparisonSIPLACE TX1SIPLACE TX2SIPLACE TX2i

Head optionsCP20, CPP or TWIN, depending on configurationCP20, CPP or TWIN combinationsPrimarily high-output two-head configurations
Selection priorityLower output or specialized placement roleBalanced high output and flexibilityMaximum compact-platform throughput

The TX2 should therefore be published with an 85,500 CPH benchmark rating. The 96,000 CPH value belongs to the TX2i and should not be reused on a standard TX2 product page.

Understanding the 85,500 CPH Placement Rating

The 85,500 CPH figure is a benchmark performance value for a suitable high-speed TX2 configuration. It is not guaranteed production output for every PCB program.

Actual throughput depends on the two installed heads, component mix, feeder arrangement, PCB dimensions and complete SMT line balance.

Factors That Affect Actual TX2 Output

  • Placement head installed on each gantry

  • Total number of placements per PCB

  • Distribution of placements between the two heads

  • Feeder location and component tape width

  • PCB dimensions and panel arrangement

  • Component inspection and rotation requirements

  • Number of nozzle changes

  • Tray or special component-supply time

  • Conveyor loading and unloading cycle

  • Pickup retries and component rejection rate

  • Placement-head, nozzle and feeder condition

  • PCB support and warpage

  • Production-program optimization

  • Printer, reflow oven and inspection-system cycle times

A realistic production estimate should be calculated using the actual BOM, placement file, feeder arrangement and target cycle time instead of dividing the component quantity by 85,500.

Compact Output Without a Long Placement Line

One of the main advantages of the SIPLACE TX platform is its output per metre of production-line length. The TX2 occupies approximately one metre along the line while providing two placement gantries and up to 80 feeder positions.

This compact format is useful when a manufacturer needs to increase placement capacity but has limited floor space or wants to keep the complete line relatively short.

Benefits of the Compact TX2 Format

  • Add production capacity without significantly extending the line

  • Improve output per square metre of factory space

  • Provide feeder capacity on both sides of a compact machine

  • Maintain operator visibility across the line

  • Allow capacity to be expanded in approximately one-metre steps

  • Support line balancing with TX1, TX2 or TX2i modules

  • Reduce the space required between printer, placement and reflow processes

Machine spacing, operator access, maintenance clearance, feeder-cart movement and upstream or downstream equipment must still be considered when planning the complete line layout.

SIPLACE CP20 High-Speed Placement Head

The CP20 is a 20-segment Collect & Place head designed for maximum output with very small and standard SMD components. It collects multiple components from the feeder area, inspects them through the vision system and then places them onto the stationary PCB.

Component spectrumApproximately 0.12 × 0.12 mm to 8.2 × 8.2 mm
Maximum component heightApproximately 4 mm
Maximum placement performanceUp to approximately 48,000 CPH per head
Placement accuracyApproximately 25 μm at 3 sigma
Placement forceApproximately 0.5 N to 4.5 N
Primary production roleHigh-volume placement of small standard components

Typical CP20 Components

  • Chip resistors

  • Multilayer ceramic capacitors

  • Small diodes

  • Small transistors

  • Resistor and capacitor arrays

  • Small-outline integrated circuits

  • Small CSP and BGA packages

  • LED components

  • Other small tape-fed SMD packages

A TX2 configured with two CP20 heads is primarily intended for high-output small-component production. It provides the highest nominal TX2 speed but does not offer the same large-component flexibility as CPP or TWIN configurations.

SIPLACE CPP Flexible Placement Head

The CPP head is designed for production programs containing both small standard components and medium-sized integrated circuits. It supports several placement modes that can be selected through the machine software.

  • Collect & Place mode for smaller components

  • Pick & Place mode for larger packages

  • Mixed mode for boards containing different component types

Component spectrumApproximately 01005 to 50 × 40 mm
Maximum component heightApproximately 15.5 mm
Maximum placement performanceUp to approximately 25,500 CPH per head
Placement accuracyApproximately 34 μm at 3 sigma
Placement forceApproximately 1 N to 15 N
Primary production roleFlexible mixed-component placement

A TX2 equipped with one CP20 and one CPP head can combine high-speed chip placement with flexible handling of larger IC packages. Two CPP heads may be suitable for high-mix production where component range is more important than maximum small-component speed.

Typical CPP Applications

  • Small passive components

  • QFP and BGA packages

  • CSP components

  • Medium-sized integrated circuits

  • Components requiring controlled placement force

  • Products with frequent component-mix changes

  • High-mix EMS production

  • Industrial and automotive PCB assemblies

SIPLACE TWIN Placement Head

The TWIN head is intended for large, heavy, tall, fine-pitch or odd-shaped components. It processes components individually and may use vacuum nozzles, specialized adapters or mechanical grippers.

Component spectrumApproximately 0201 to selected components up to 200 × 110 mm
Maximum component heightApproximately 25 mm
Maximum placement performanceUp to approximately 5,500 CPH per head
Placement accuracyApproximately 22 μm at 3 sigma
Placement forceApproximately 1 N to 30 N
Primary production roleLarge, high-accuracy and odd-shaped component placement

Typical TWIN Applications

  • Large BGA and QFP packages

  • Large connectors

  • Sockets and switches

  • Coils and transformers

  • Tray-fed power devices

  • Mechanical electronic components

  • Components requiring higher placement force

  • Selected odd-shaped components

  • Fine-pitch packages requiring greater accuracy

The maximum component dimensions describe the platform capability under suitable conditions. Every large or odd-shaped component must still be evaluated according to its weight, pickup surface, centre of gravity, tooling, feeder presentation and available PCB clearance.

Common TX2 Placement-Head Combinations

Head CombinationPrimary StrengthTypical Production Application
CP20 + CP20Maximum small-component outputHigh-volume consumer, communication and server boards
CP20 + CPPSpeed with broader IC capabilityMixed boards containing passives and medium-sized packages
CPP + CPPFlexible mixed-component productionHigh-mix EMS, industrial and automotive electronics
CP20 + TWINSmall-component speed plus large-component placementBoards containing passives, large ICs and connectors
CPP + TWINMaximum component flexibilityEnd-of-line placement and complex industrial assemblies
TWIN + TWINLarge and high-accuracy component placementSpecialized products with limited small-component demand

Not every head combination is available on every machine year or software generation. The installed head labels and machine configuration should be checked before an order is confirmed.

Complete Component Spectrum

The full SIPLACE TX platform component spectrum extends from very small metric chip components to selected devices measuring approximately 200 × 110 mm. This complete range is achieved through different placement heads rather than one universal head.

Placement HeadComponent RangeMaximum HeightMain Production Role
CP200.12 × 0.12 mm to 8.2 × 8.2 mmApproximately 4 mmHigh-speed small-component placement
CPP01005 to 50 × 40 mmApproximately 15.5 mmFlexible chips and IC placement
TWIN0201 to selected parts up to 200 × 110 mmApproximately 25 mmLarge, precision and odd-shaped components

Before selecting a TX2, provide:

  • Smallest component package

  • Largest component dimensions

  • Maximum component height

  • Maximum component weight

  • Component pickup surface

  • Required placement accuracy

  • Required placement force

  • Tape, tray or special feeder presentation

  • Need for special nozzles or grippers

Very Small Component Placement

The TX platform is designed for high-speed placement of very small components. However, reliable 0201 metric or 01005 production depends on more than the machine model.

A complete small-component process may require:

  • Compatible CP20 or CPP placement head

  • High-resolution component camera

  • Correct small-component nozzles

  • Suitable low-force placement sleeves

  • Compatible SIPLACE SmartFeeder Xi units

  • Accurate feeder pickup-position calibration

  • Compatible machine and programming software

  • Stable component-tape pocket quality

  • Accurate solder-paste printing

  • Stable PCB support

  • Controlled factory temperature and humidity

When very small components are a critical purchasing requirement, request a representative pickup and placement test using the actual component size.

80 Feeder Positions and Component Supply

The SIPLACE TX2 supports up to 80 positions for standard 8 mm tape feeders. Wider tape feeders occupy multiple positions, so the actual number of physical feeders depends on the required tape-width combination.

Available Component-Supply Options

  • 8 mm SIPLACE SmartFeeder Xi

  • 12 mm and 16 mm tape feeders

  • 24 mm, 32 mm and wider tape feeders

  • JEDEC trays

  • SIPLACE Tray Unit

  • Linear Dipping Unit

  • Glue Feeder

  • Force Verification Feeder

  • Application-specific component-supply systems

Information to Confirm With the Feeder Package

  • Number of feeder carts or tables supplied

  • Number of included 8 mm feeders

  • Required wider tape-feeder quantities

  • Feeder model and generation

  • Feeder firmware and machine compatibility

  • Feeder calibration status

  • Pickup and tape-indexing performance

  • Cart docking and communication condition

  • Reel holders and tape-waste containers

  • Required spare feeder quantity

Feeders, carts and tray systems are not automatically included with every used TX2. Every included item should be listed clearly in the quotation.

SIPLACE Tray Unit and Tray-Fed Components

A TX2 equipped with CPP or TWIN heads may be used for components supplied in JEDEC trays or wider carrier trays. The available tray system depends on the machine generation and installed component-supply package.

A suitable tray configuration can support:

  • Large integrated circuits

  • Power-semiconductor packages

  • Fine-pitch BGAs

  • Large processors and controllers

  • Specialized industrial components

  • Devices that cannot be supplied through tape feeders

Before ordering a machine for tray production, confirm:

  • Tray-unit model and part number

  • Supported tray dimensions

  • Number of storage levels

  • Tray elevator and transfer operation

  • Machine-software compatibility

  • Component pickup-position calibration

  • Required nozzles or grippers

  • Whether tray components can be refilled without stopping production

Single-Lane and Dual-Lane PCB Production

The SIPLACE TX2 may be configured with single-lane or dual-lane PCB transport. Conveyor configuration affects PCB width, line throughput and compatibility with the surrounding production equipment.

Standard PCB Length

Without the Long Board Option, the maximum supported PCB length is approximately 375 mm. Width depends on whether the machine operates in dual-lane or single-lane mode.

Single-Lane Configuration

With the applicable Long Board Option, single-lane operation can support PCBs from approximately 50 × 45 mm to 590 × 460 mm.

Dual-Lane Configuration

With the applicable Long Board Option, dual-lane production can support boards from approximately 50 × 45 mm to 590 × 260 mm per lane.

Dual-lane operation can reduce non-productive transport time by allowing another PCB to enter, wait or be processed while the opposite lane remains active.

PCB Information Required Before Selection

  • Minimum and maximum PCB length

  • Minimum and maximum PCB width

  • PCB thickness

  • Maximum assembled-board weight

  • Single-lane or dual-lane requirement

  • Same or different product on each lane

  • Required conveyor direction

  • Fixed conveyor-rail position

  • 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.

Placement Quality and Closed-Loop Process Control

The SIPLACE TX platform uses digital vision, sensors, linear drives and software-controlled correction to maintain placement stability at high speeds.

Depending on machine generation and installed options, available process-control functions may include:

  • Component-presence detection

  • Vacuum monitoring during pickup and placement

  • Component-position and rotation correction

  • Programmable placement-force monitoring

  • PCB fiducial recognition

  • PCB warpage measurement and compensation

  • Component-specific lighting

  • Component crack and chipping detection

  • Odd-shaped component recognition

  • PCB inspection functions

  • Barcode and QR-code reading

  • Bad-board and bad-panel recognition

  • Automatic setup verification

  • Production traceability

The presence of the TX2 model name does not prove that every optional camera, scanner, sensor or software function is installed. Required functions should be demonstrated on the individual machine.

Touchless and Low-Force Placement

The TX platform supports controlled placement forces as low as approximately 0.5 N with suitable head configurations. This can be useful for sensitive components, small packages and applications where excessive force could disturb solder paste or damage the part.

Placement force depends on the selected head:

  • CP20: approximately 0.5 N to 4.5 N

  • CPP: approximately 1 N to 15 N

  • TWIN: approximately 1 N to 30 N

Touchless or low-force placement still requires correct component definition, nozzle selection, PCB support, solder-paste process and machine calibration.

Typical SIPLACE TX2 Applications

The TX2 is suitable for factories that require compact line design, high placement output and the ability to configure the machine around the actual component mix.

  • Telecommunications and network equipment

  • Server and data-centre electronics

  • Automotive electronic modules

  • Industrial control boards

  • Consumer electronic products

  • Medical electronic assemblies

  • Power-management electronics

  • LED and display-control boards

  • High-volume EMS production

  • Mixed-component PCB assembly

  • Compact SMT line expansion

  • Replacement of an existing TX2 machine

A two-CP20 configuration is suitable for boards dominated by small tape-fed components. CP20 and CPP combinations provide broader mixed-component coverage, while CPP and TWIN configurations may be used for flexible end-of-line placement.

Using the TX2 in a Complete SMT Line

The TX2 can operate as a standalone placement module or as part of a line containing several TX machines with different head configurations.

A typical SMT line may include:

  1. PCB loader

  2. Solder paste printer

  3. 3D solder paste inspection system

  4. SIPLACE TX2 high-speed placement machine

  5. SIPLACE TX1, TX2 or another flexible placement module

  6. Reflow oven

  7. Automatic optical inspection system

  8. PCB unloader

For example, one TX2 equipped with CP20 heads may place small components, while a second TX machine equipped with CPP or TWIN heads completes ICs, connectors and tray-fed components.

The total line output is determined by its slowest process. A high-speed TX2 will not increase overall throughput when the printer, flexible placement stage, reflow oven or inspection system remains the main bottleneck.
