SIPLACE to Demonstrate "Build-to-Order" Concepts at SMT/Hybrid/Packaging 2010

The main attractions at SIPLACE’s booth at this year’s SMT/Hybrid/Packaging in Nuremberg from June 8-10 will be the SIPLACE SX1 and SX2 placement machines with their replaceable gantries and their capacity-on-demand capabilities. As the speed module of the SX platform, the company will also unveil its four-gantry SIPLACE SX4, which can place more than 120,000 components per hour.

According to SIPLACE, customers also benefit from entirely new rental and business models when they invest in the SX platform. The SIPLACE Peak Demand and SIPLACE Floating Demand concepts, for example, let customers reduce their initial investment in new lines and flexibly scale their line performance and capital requirements with demand by renting SX gantries as needed.

In the software field, the company is demonstrating new options which are integrated into the SIPLACE Software Suite and provide comprehensive and transparent support for the SMT production process. Examples range from transparent material management with SIPLACE Facts and setup management with SIPLACE Setup Center to highly flexible, no-stop setup changeovers with SIPLACE Split Table Mode or SIPLACE LES to machine, line and plant monitoring and SIPLACE Traceability.

SIPLACE also underscores its technology leadership in the growth market for bare dies (flip-chip, die attach) with its SIPLACE CA, said to be the world’s first placement machine that combines classic SMT placement and die processing in a single manufacturing process.

SIPLACE CEO Günter Lauber invites all show visitors to see for themselves: "In addition to highly flexible machines and more intelligent production concepts, European electronics manufacturers in particular need the strategic cooperation and innovative strength of all their equipment suppliers to make their SMT lines BTO-ready for the future by integrating processes and IT systems. At this year’s SMT/Hybrid/Packaging we will demonstrate how these objectives can be implemented successfully.”
