The ASM SIPLACE TX2 is the dual-gantry model in the SIPLACE TX platform for factories that need higher machine-level output without moving away from the compact TX architecture. ASMPT currently lists the TX2 at up to 85,500 CPH with 25 µm standard accuracy, up to 80 positions for 8 mm tape feeders, and the flexible PCB transport system used across the TX family. In the used-equipment market, the complete machine designation should be verified carefully because the TX2 and TX2i have different published performance ratings.
Two placement-head positions give the TX2 more room to balance throughput and component range than a single-gantry TX1. CP20 heads favor high-speed placement of small standard parts, while CPP and TWIN heads support more flexible, large, or special-component work. The production capability of an individual TX2 therefore depends on the heads actually installed and the way placement work is distributed across the PCB program.
This makes the TX2 relevant for high-output production where 85,500 CPH-class performance is sufficient and the buyer still wants the flexibility of two placement positions. It can also fit factories already working with the TX platform that need another production module without changing the basic equipment concept.
Before purchasing a pre-owned TX2, confirm both installed heads, conveyor arrangement, software version, feeder package, and machine condition against the required BOM and cycle time.

The specifications above are TX platform reference values. Confirm both placement heads, conveyor options, software version, and included feeder package for the individual pre-owned TX2.
TX2 vs TX2i
The TX2 and SIPLACE TX2i are both dual-gantry TX machines, so the buying decision is not simply about gaining another placement head. Their standard accuracy, feeder capacity, and PCB transport range are similar; the key model-level difference is the additional placement output available from the TX2i.
| Production Factor | ASM SIPLACE TX2 | ASM SIPLACE TX2i |
|---|---|---|
| Gantry Configuration | Dual gantry | Dual gantry |
| Maximum Placement Speed | Up to 85,500 CPH | Up to 96,000 CPH |
| Standard Accuracy | 25 µm | 25 µm |
| 8 mm Feeder Positions | Up to 80 | Up to 80 |
| PCB Transport | Same TX flexible dual-lane platform range | Same TX flexible dual-lane platform range |
| Buying Priority | 85,500 CPH-class output already meets the required cycle time | The production program can make practical use of the additional placement output |
The SIPLACE TX2 is a practical choice when a dual-gantry machine provides enough throughput while retaining the compact TX platform and two-head flexibility. If its 85,500 CPH performance already meets the target cycle time, moving to a higher-output model may provide limited production benefit.
