Siemens SIPLACE D2 dual-gantry SMT mounter with interchangeable C&P12 and C&P6 heads. Compare head configurations and benchmark placement rates.
The Siemens SIPLACE D2 uses two independently moving gantries, each fitted with a Collect & Place head. Rather than picking and placing every component individually, each head collects multiple parts from the feeder area before transferring them to programmed positions on the PCB. The head configuration can be changed between 12-nozzle C&P12 and 6-nozzle C&P6 units, allowing the machine's placement setup to be matched to different component mixes.
The choice of heads directly affects production output and component coverage. A dual-C&P12 configuration has a published benchmark rate of up to 31,000 components per hour, while a C&P12/C&P6 combination provides a different balance between placement speed and package handling. These are benchmark figures, not guaranteed production rates; actual output depends on the board program and machine condition.
