Siemens SIPLACE X4 four-gantry SMT mounter with four configurable placement heads, up to 90,000 CPH benchmark output and 160 feeder positions.
Four gantries make the Siemens SIPLACE X4 the highest-capacity model in the original SIPLACE X platform by number of placement heads. The machine has two placement areas, with two gantries assigned to each area. This layout allows four heads to perform placement operations across the production cycle, while the selected head combination determines whether the machine prioritizes small-chip throughput or handles a wider range of component packages.
The original X4 supports C&P20, C&P12 and C&P6 Collect & Place heads, as well as TwinHead technology. With four C&P20 heads, published performance reaches up to 90,000 components per hour under SIPLACE benchmark conditions; the theoretical maximum is higher and should not be confused with normal production output. Flexible single- or dual-conveyor options and up to 160 positions for 8 mm feeders further affect how the machine can be configured for a specific line.
| Parameter | Reference Specification |
|---|---|

| PCB Size | Approximately 50 × 50 mm to 450 × 535 mm in the standard single-conveyor reference configuration |
| Optional Long-Board Format | Up to approximately 610 × 535 mm with the required long-board equipment |
| Component Range | From small high-volume SMDs to fine-pitch, large, heavy and special components according to installed heads, cameras, nozzles and tooling |

| Conveyor Mode | Single conveyor or flexible dual conveyor |
The 90,000 CPH benchmark and 81,000 CPH IPC rating apply to the four-C&P20 reference configuration. The 124,000 CPH value is theoretical and should not be treated as expected production output from an individual used X4. Different combinations of C&P20, C&P12, C&P6 and TwinHead can change both placement speed and component coverage substantially, and actual output also depends on program balance, feeder performance, conveyor timing and machine condition.
