Explore pre-owned ASM SIPLACE X4i S SMT placement machines for high-output production, with configuration review, stock checks and quotation support.
The ASM SIPLACE X4i S is a four-gantry SMT placement machine in the SIPLACE X-Series S platform, developed for production environments where placement output has a direct impact on line cycle time. With published performance of up to 172,000 CPH SIPLACE benchmark and 146,000 CPH IPC, it represents the higher-output end of the X-Series S machines covered in this range.
Its four independently operating gantries can be equipped with SpeedStar, MultiStar, or TwinStar placement heads to support different production roles. The maximum-output configuration is aimed at PCB programs with high placement counts and sustained production demand, while mixed head combinations provide greater flexibility for a broader component range.
The X4i S supports up to 148 positions for 8 mm feeders. Combined with its four-gantry architecture and high placement rate, this allows a substantial number of tape-fed components to remain available during production while the machine maintains fast, continuous placement. For component-dense boards and repeat high-volume programs, this combination helps make better use of the machine's placement capability without frequent material changes interrupting the production cycle.
For a pre-owned X4i S, the final production fit depends on the actual machine offered. Buyers should confirm the installed heads, conveyor setup, software version, and machine condition against the PCB, BOM, and target cycle time before selecting a unit.
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Model | ASM SIPLACE X4i S |
| Series | SIPLACE X-Series S |
| Gantry Configuration | Four independently operating placement gantries |
| Placement Heads | SpeedStar (CP20P), MultiStar (CPP), and TwinStar (TH) |
| Placement Speed | Up to 172,000 CPH SIPLACE benchmark with the corresponding high-output configuration |
| IPC Rating | Up to 146,000 CPH |
| Placement Accuracy | Up to 22 µm @ 3σ with the applicable TwinStar configuration |
| PCB Size | 50 × 50 mm to 850 × 685 mm platform reference |
| Component Range | 0201 metric up to 200 × 125 × 25 mm, depending on the installed placement heads |

The specifications above are platform reference values. For an individual pre-owned X4i S, confirm the installed heads, conveyor setup, software version, and included feeder package before purchase.
Both machines use a four-gantry X-Series S architecture, but they emphasize different production priorities. The X4i S is the stronger option when higher placement output is important, while the ASM SIPLACE X4 S provides additional feeder positions for production programs that require a wider material setup.
