The ASM Assembly Systems GmbH & Co. KG is part of ASM Pacific Technology Inc. and manufacturer of SMT placement machines and solutions with the product name SIPLACE and printing technologies and solutions with the product name DEK for a variety of industries (including electronics manufacturing, Semiconductor ). The company has been supplying manufacturers in sectors such as electronics, mobile communications, the automotive industry, industry and LED since 1985 .
ASM Assembly Systems employs around 2200 people worldwide. Development and production sites are located in Munich , Weymouth (Great Britain), Singapore and Malaysia .
history
The origin goes back to the industrial device production of Siemens - Berlin-Siemensstadt - 1905. At that time, special manufacturing equipment was required that was not commercially available and therefore had to be manufactured in-house. At the beginning of the 1920s, a facility building is mentioned in Berlin-Siemensstadt, where tools and facilities were made. In the post-war period, this facility building was named Central Tool and Machine Factory (ZWM) within the telecommunications factories (NTF). After the Second World War, the ZWM's branches in Bruchsal (1948) and Munich (1955) were founded. In the following years, the ZWM is renamed the Plant for Machines and Tools (WMW). At the beginning of the 1980s, plans were drawn up for the development of SMD placement machines based on the already existing MHS axes (modular handling system). In 1985 the company initially expanded to North and South America and the first SMD placement machine under the name MS-72 was created in the course of automation. Over the next 10 years, this project developed into a successful generation of placement machines, which then culminated in an independent division. The original parent division (construction of special machines and production systems), WMW and its successors, no longer exist today.
In 1992 the fields of activity were expanded further to Southeast Asia, and in 1993 the machines were given the product name SIPLACE. The first model, the SIPLACE 80 S, had two moving Collect & Place heads on XY portals that alternately populated the fixed circuit board. The components to be assembled were provided on both sides of the machine on a total of 80 feed lanes.
Within five years, until 1997, SIPLACE had produced 5,000 placement machines, and by 2000, 10,000 machines were sold. In 2001, SIPLACE (PL EA) was spun off and operated as an independent company under the name Siemens Dematic AG. Three years later, the company was reintegrated into Siemens AG as the L&A EA division, and in 2005 it was transferred to Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D EA). In 2009, the SIPLACE team became a legally independent company, Siemens Electronics Assembly Systems, in a so-called “ carve out ”.
The sale of the SIPLACE placement machine manufacturer to ASM Pacific Technology Inc. was officially closed on January 7, 2011 . Formerly Siemens Electronics Assembly Systems, SIPLACE was integrated into the ASMPT Group as a separate business area for SMT technologies and continued under the name ASM Assembly Systems GmbH und Co. KG. With the SMT business and the two other areas ASM Semiconductor Solutions and ASM Materials, ASMPT is one of the global technology and market leaders in solutions and materials for the semiconductor assembly and packaging industry.
In 1968 DEK began developing products for industrial screen printing in Weymouth , Great Britain, and positioned itself on the market with the development of the hybrid thick film manufacturing process in 1972. In 1977 the company presented and opened up the first solar printing platform new markets in the solar industry. Since 1983 DEK's main business has been printer solutions especially for the SMT industry, in which DEK has been one of the market and technology leaders ever since.
On July 2, 2014, ASMPT acquired 100 percent of the DEK shares from the previous owner Dover Group and took over all sales and production locations of the printer specialist.
With the two acquisitions, ASM Pacific Technology, a manufacturer of systems and machines in the semiconductor and LED sector listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange and headquartered in Singapore, expanded its range of products in electronics production and opened up new business areas in the printer sector.
In 2017, ASM initiated the SMT Smart Network as a global competence network for the active exchange of experience between Smart Champions in the Smart SMT Factory sector. ASM is co-founder of the ADAMOS joint venture for the development of an IoT platform for manufacturing companies and, together with other SMT manufacturers, is establishing the HERMES open standard as a successor to SMEMA for M2M communication in SMT lines.
After more than 30 years, more than 70,000 ASM machines have been installed in over 100 countries. Together with the appropriate software solutions, ASM is making a decisive contribution to the development of the Integrated Smart Factory .
The production sites of ASM Assembly Systems have already received the 'Factory of the Year' award from AT Kearney and the specialist journal 'Produktion' several times .
