Effective immediately, even unusually long PCBs with dimensions of up to 910 x 560 mm can be processed in SIPLACE SX1 and SIPLACE SX2 machines. The enhancement is made possible by the new SIPLACE Long Board 910 functionality, which extends the limits of the previous SIPLACE Longboard Option (for PCBs up to 610 mm long) by another 300 mm by easily moving the stoppers in the circuit board transport system.

比之前PCBs610mm的长度参数选项，增加了300mm,只要移动PCB传送系统的stoppers就可以。

Super-long boards are often thicker and heavier, too

After the conversion, the SIPLACE Pro 8.0 software permits the creation of powerful placement programs for such extremely long boards. If the excessive length also involves corresponding thickness and weight, the SIPLACE Heavy Board and SIPLACE Thick Board Options provide the prerequisites for handling boards with weights of up to 5 kilograms (11 pounds) and a thickness of up to 6 mm in a single process.

最重可达5Kg，厚度可达6mm

Combining these options enables electronics manufacturers to produce even products with extreme dimensions reliably and efficiently on SIPLACE SX lines. “The new SIPLACE Long Board 910 functionality underscores the flexibility of our SIPLACE SX Capacity-on-Demand platform. It further enhances our customers’ investment protection and makes these state-of-the-art placement machines especially attractive for the many specialists among electronics manufacturers who have found their niche in the production of exotic modules, i.e. highly demanding PCBs in small to medium-sized lots,” says SIPLACE product manager, Petra Klein-Gunnewigk, about the wide range of customers who will potentially benefit from the SIPLACE SX's options.
