SIPLACE SX
Modular, one or two gantries. Easier to maintain.

Machine maintenance: Pick & Place, DEK printers and SPI
SIPLACE SX, X and TX pick-and-place machines all follow the same maintenance procedure; what changes is the time it takes, which depends on how many heads the machine carries, one per gantry, and which ones. DEK printers have a maintenance routine of their own; ASYS handling systems and laser markers are serviced once a year. On Process Lens SPI systems we provide technical support and help with installation, not periodic maintenance.

SIPLACE SX, X and TX pick-and-place machines
SIPLACE X
The largest: two, three or four gantries.
SIPLACE TX
Compact, one or two gantries. More complicated to maintain.
Maintenance follows the two levels used for the heads and gantries: the short service, every 3 months, covers the heads only; the full service, every 6 months, also covers the machine, with the X and Y axes lubricated and the oilers and air filter replaced. Each gantry carries one head, so machine downtime is the total of the times for the heads fitted, and we agree it with you in advance.
Calibration of the pick and place machines with the tools already in your plant.
Technical data sheets and machine specifications: on the official ASMPT website.
DEK printers
Maintenance every 6 or 12 months, depending on how much the line is used: cleaning, lubrication and oiling of the axes. Printer calibration requires the dedicated stencil and calibration board and is not currently part of our service. Besides maintenance, we also handle installation, production start-up, programming and operator training.
ASYS handling systems and laser markers: annual maintenance
On ASYS handling modules and laser markers we lubricate the lead screws and the drive components, that is the belt drive of the conveyors and the width adjustment. We also check belt tension: belts are replaced only when the teeth or the surface show wear. Calibrating the laser module requires dedicated tools and is not currently part of our service.
Repairs and troubleshooting
On SIPLACE machines and software we also handle repairs and troubleshooting, starting from an analysis of the machine's bug reports. On DEK printers, ASYS handling systems and laser markers we don't do repairs or troubleshooting: scheduled maintenance only. Heads and gantries have their own dedicated troubleshooting.
For a second opinion on maintenance or a fault, there is our second opinion and pre-purchase check, with a written report.
SPI (solder paste inspection): Process Lens and Process Lens HD
ASMPT Process Lens and Process Lens HD SPI inspection: we know these systems inside out, from the software to the mechanics, through hands-on experience on production lines. Today we provide technical support and help with installation. Calibration requires the dedicated calibration kit, which is not currently part of our service.
We do not provide periodic maintenance on SPI systems, and the work is almost always done on site: little or nothing can be done remotely.
Technical data sheets and Process Lens SPI specifications: on the official ASMPT website.
Scheduled maintenance of pick-and-place machines and DEK printers is also included in the Ongoing support formula, either on a contract or as planned visits. Notice: at least one month for a single job, 2–3 months for periodic maintenance. Spare parts are not included.

Other SMT services
01
Placement head and gantry maintenance
Scheduled maintenance of SIPLACE TwinHead, CPP and CP20 heads (every CP20 version, CP20P2 included) and of the gantries that move them: a short service every 3 months and a full service every 6 months, with downtime agreed in advance.
See the service → 02Head and gantry troubleshooting
Structured fault diagnosis on TwinHead, CPP and CP20 heads (every CP20 version) and on the gantries: we start remotely, from the machine's bug reports, and come on site when needed. Vacuum, encoders, Z and star axes, failed pick-ups, component recognition.
See the service → 04Installation, shop-floor IT and ASMPT software
Machine installation, line relocations and software configuration. ASMPT software: WORKS and SIPLACE Pro, Setup Center and WORKS Preparation; ASM OIB configuration and support for MES integration. Traceability, line monitoring, production data and OEE and KPI analysis. Shop-floor IT: network, Windows Server, backups and SQL Server.
See the service → 05SIPLACE Pro programming support
We work alongside your team on a new program or one to optimise, until it goes into production: paths, line balancing, feeders, shapes from real measurements and the library. Also remote, without stopping production.
See the service → 06Operator and maintenance staff training
Training for operators and maintenance staff, directly on your line. There is no fixed number of hours: we work alongside your team until it can produce its first board on its own.
See the service → 08Second opinion and pre-purchase check
An independent check of the condition of SIPLACE machines and lines: before you buy a machine, even a used one, or when you want a second opinion on maintenance or a fault. We give you a written report of what we found.
See the service →Has your line stopped or does it need optimising?
Tell us the situation: we work on site, on the road or remotely.
