Technical innovation and user-friendliness characterize this first generation high tech SMT device from a new digital product platform of surface mounting equipment. The focus during the design process was concentrated on a lower construction height and a transparent visual access. This enables improved monitoring and enhances use on the portal side. By using a new high speed placement head technology, the collect and place performance and precision have been increased in comparison to the previous generation. Intelligent feeder modules have boosted the user-friendliness. This new SMT device has been consistently designed in accordance with the corporate identity of the established "Siplace" product brand.
