Having issues with Nozzle Changer of Placement Heads on ASM SIPLACE SpeedStar (C&P20 P), MultiStar (CPP) and TwinStar (TH)? Read our step-by-step SMT maintenance solution below. If you require replacement feeders, nozzles, or sensors, contact SMTBOX for OEM-compatible parts.
The X-Series placement machines are available in four different variants:
Nozzle changers increase the flexibility of the placement heads when it comes to processing different components. The nozzle configuration can be rapidly adjusted to changing place- ment jobs. Precisely defined positions and perfect nozzle seat in the garage ensure minimum radial eccentricity on the placement head.
The nozzle changers feature a monitoring circuit. This checks whether the nozzle magazines are seated correctly on the mount. In addition, the nozzle changers recognize whether the magazines are for 10xx, 20xx or 28xx nozzles by the code.
