Used CA4 Replacement Support
ASMPT SIPLACE CA4 Pick and Place Machine
A replacement should fit the way your line already runs.
Replacing a familiar CA4 is rarely a model-for-model purchase. The candidate machine must line up with the production setup you already depend on—position by position, head by head and interface by interface. We help turn that comparison into a clearer equipment decision and a quotation tied to one documented machine scope.
Reference image only. Current availability and the installed configuration of any offered machine must be confirmed separately.
Published Equipment Records
Ask About CA4 Availability
Used SIPLACE CA4 Equipment
Review the CA4 listings currently published on the website, then compare the documented build of each unit with the production environment you need to preserve.
Published records identify individual equipment listings. Availability, four-position allocation, installed heads, wafer systems, transport, software, included accessories and delivery scope must still be confirmed for the specific machine.
The Product Detail That Matters Most
The Four-Position Build Is the Starting Point
SIPLACE CA4 is a configurable four-position platform. The value of a used machine depends on what is installed at those positions and how the resulting material flow compares with the line you already operate.
Two machines carrying the same CA4 name can use different wafer systems, feeder tables, placement heads, transport hardware and software. That is why this page focuses on candidate-machine matching rather than repeating a long platform specification guide.
Projects that do not depend on an existing CA4 environment may be better reviewed through the broader flip chip bonder or assembly and bonding equipment ranges.

Line Continuity Scenarios
When Another CA4 May Still Be the Practical Choice
The strongest reason to continue with CA4 is usually not the model name itself. It is the value of preserving a production environment that is already understood and qualified.
Replacing an Aging Machine
A candidate CA4 can be worth reviewing when the current unit is difficult to maintain but the product and line still depend on the established CA4 environment.
Adding Familiar Capacity
Another CA4 may reduce the need to introduce a completely new programming, tooling, training and maintenance environment.
Supporting a Legacy Product
A closer machine build may limit the process redevelopment and qualification work required to keep a mature product in production.
Candidate Machine Matching
Compare the Candidate with the Line You Already Run
The review starts with your current production setup and compares it with the documented build of one candidate machine. The purpose is to identify useful continuity, visible gaps and unanswered points before the equipment scope is fixed.
Four-Position Build
Your Existing Line
Record what each position currently supports and how wafer-fed dies, feeder components or table-supplied materials enter the production flow.
Candidate CA4
Review photographs, station records and installed modules for all four positions rather than relying on the model label alone.
What a Difference Could Mean
A different position allocation can change the material flow the machine supports and may require additional SWS, feeder-table or conversion work.
Heads and Process Functions
Your Existing Line
Note the process mix, component and die range, placement force, nozzles, dipping or fluxing functions and the performance level the product depends on.
Candidate CA4
Compare installed head labels, head positions, available process options and any calibration or running evidence supplied for the unit.
What a Difference Could Mean
The platform may be familiar while the head mix is not. Missing process functions can lead to tooling changes, head replacement or renewed process qualification.
Transport and Product Format
Your Existing Line
Describe the substrate, panel or carrier, together with dimensions, thickness, support method, line flow and upstream or downstream handoff.
Candidate CA4
Check the conveyor type, usable width, support hardware, clamps, carriers, transport arrangement and recorded interfaces.
What a Difference Could Mean
The intended placement process may be possible while the installed transport still requires carrier, conveyor or line-interface changes.
Software, Data and Tooling
Your Existing Line
Identify the software environment, product data, wafer maps, component libraries, traceability needs, feeders, nozzles and tooling you hope to preserve.
Candidate CA4
Review the available machine PC, software version, licenses, backups, communication interfaces and accessories included with the unit.
What a Difference Could Mean
Hardware compatibility does not automatically confirm software or tooling continuity. These gaps can add integration, data-preparation and commissioning work.
From Requirement to Equipment Scope
Start with the Production Information You Already Have
You do not need a complete CA4 configuration sheet before the first conversation. A short description of the current line and the replacement goal is enough to begin a useful comparison.
Tell Us How the Current Line Runs
Explain whether the project is a replacement, capacity addition or legacy-product need, together with the four-position use, product format and functions that must continue.
We Compare the Candidate Build
Available photographs, nameplates, module labels, machine records and seller information are compared with the production requirement. Missing or uncertain items are kept visible.
Receive a Defined Candidate Scope
The result separates the documented machine build, likely gaps, open points, included hardware, accessories, available documentation and quotation boundaries.
Candidate Match Summary
How closely the documented machine aligns with the current line and intended product.
Gap and Open-Point List
Configuration differences, missing modules and items that still require confirmation.
Defined Quotation Scope
The machine, included items, available records, packing and unresolved points are separated clearly.
Frequently Asked Questions
SIPLACE CA4 Replacement Questions
Can any SIPLACE CA4 replace another CA4?
No. Machines can differ in the allocation of the four positions, placement heads, wafer systems, feeder tables, transport, software and included tooling. A replacement should be compared against the existing line rather than selected from the model name alone.
Do I need a complete configuration sheet before asking for help?
No. A short explanation of the current process, product format and replacement goal is enough for the first review. Available photographs, nameplates and module labels can be added as the comparison develops.
What happens when the candidate CA4 is not an exact match?
The differences can be separated into acceptable changes, possible conversion work and unresolved items. Whether the project remains practical depends on the process requirement, available modules, software, tooling, schedule and agreed equipment scope.
What should I check on a published CA4 listing?
Open the individual machine record and review the photographs, four-position allocation, placement heads, wafer systems, feeder tables, transport, software and included accessories that are actually documented. Any missing or uncertain item should remain open until confirmed.
