ASM SIPLACE D3i three-gantry SMT placement machine with configurable placement-head options for high-speed chip assembly and mixed-component PCB production.
The ASM SIPLACE D3i has three placement gantries, allowing placement work to be distributed across multiple heads rather than relying on a single placement unit. Its Collect & Place configuration picks up several components before placing them, while compatible Pick & Place heads can handle packages that require individual pickup and positioning. The combination of heads determines whether a machine configuration prioritizes chip-placement throughput or a wider component mix.
The D3i's three-gantry architecture is particularly relevant when balancing placement workload across a production line. If one head handles slower or more complex components, its cycle time can limit overall output even when the other gantries have spare capacity. For used equipment, the installed head combination and feeder layout are therefore more informative than a headline speed figure alone.

Confirm the head installed on the third gantry and whether it is a C&P head or TwinHead. TwinHead capability must be verified on the installed head package, not assumed from the model name.
Check the supplied feeder quantity and types against the BOM. The 180-track platform capacity does not guarantee a complete feeder package, and a D3i with three capable gantries can still lose output if the feeder layout cannot support the installed heads efficiently.
Confirm camera and software configuration when fine-pitch, small-component or special-component placement is required. The D3i name alone does not confirm 01005 capability or the complete vision package required for a specific application.
Send the PCB dimensions, component range, placements per board, BOM complexity and target board cycle. We can confirm whether the available D3i configuration matches the production requirement. If the program does not require TwinHead-level component handling and a simpler C&P configuration already covers the workload, we will identify that before recommending the D3i.
If you are not sure whether this product matches your machine, send us the model, label photo or old part picture for checking.
