ASM Siplace X Type SMT Feeder

The ASM SIPLACE X-type feeder is a high-precision, intelligent component delivery system designed specifically for the SIPLACE X, SX, and TX series pick-and-place machines.
Technical Specifications
X-type feeders are distinguished by their electronic drive and intelligent communication features:
Plug-and-Play: Feeders can be added or removed while the machine is running without stopping production.
Contactless Interface: They use inductive power and wireless data transmission, eliminating wear-prone mechanical pins.
Self-Teaching: The 8mm variants can automatically learn component pitch, reducing setup errors.
Component Range: Supports components from ultra-small 0201 (metric) to large 200 x 125 mm parts.
Available Variants & Part Numbers
X-type feeders are categorized by tape width and the presence of specialized sensors:
Tape Width Common Part Numbers Key Features
8mm 00141270, 00141370 Available in single or 2x8mm dual-lane configurations.
12/16mm 00141271, 00141272 Often used for larger passives or small ICs.
24/32mm 00141273, 00141274 Available with or without splice sensors for automatic material tracking.
44/56mm 00141275, 00141276 Used for larger connectors and integrated circuits.
72/88mm 00141397, 00141070 Largest standard sizes for bulky components.
Specialized X-Type Modules
Measuring Feeder X: A specialized 8mm module that measures the electrical properties (resistance, capacitance, polarity) of components on-the-fly to prevent incorrect placements.
Splice Sensor Versions: Many X-feeders (e.g., 00141290-00141296) include integrated sensors to detect tape splices, ensuring the machine recognizes when a new reel has been attached.
