Delta Unveils Next-Gen EPIQx Platform and Cyber-Physical Integration Smart Equipment at Productronica 2025

From November 18 to 21, Delta showcased a comprehensive portfolio of electronics assembly and semiconductor equipment for advanced packaging with the theme of “Automation for the Next Era—Build Smarter, Produce Faster, Operate Leaner.” Highlight exhibits included the EPIQx Platform high-precision SMT equipment that made its global debut, the Uflex® Platform for complex and versatile SMT processes, the Smart High-Speed Insertion Machine, the Semi-Auto Press-Fit Machine, and the Smart PCB Router Machine.

On November 17, Delta brought together its global smart manufacturing teams and channel partners for a sales meeting to explore innovative solutions covering smart equipment, digital twin, intelligent management systems, and advanced packaging. During the evening banquet, Delta teams engaged in vibrant exchanges with partners from across Europe, further strengthening collaboration and local market connections.

At the EPIQx global launch event on November 18, Vincent Lin, general manager of the Advanced Manufacturing Business Unit of Delta’s IABG, remarked, “Delta is committed to achieving smart manufacturing strategies under glocalization. AI is driving explosive growth in semiconductors while industries face challenges such as tariffs, labor shortages, and manufacturing site decentralization. Smart upgrades have become the game changer. Delta offers comprehensive cyber-physical integration smart solutions that cover advanced packaging to SMT and empower rapid line replication, precise process control, and highly efficient delivery.”

Highlight exhibits included:

• EPIQx Platform: Its compact footprint is ideal for the space challenges of cleanrooms, and it delivers high-precision, high-speed processing. EPIQx supports up to 40 spindles, each equipped with micro modules for full data acquisition to enable powerful predictive maintenance (PdM) and the realization of lights-out factories. Its standardized modular design significantly enhances line replication and mass-production efficiency. The EPIQx caters to both the NPI and mass production demands of advanced packaging and PCBA processing, which span from HPC, mobile communications, and automotive electronics to IIoT.

• Uflex® Platform: Uflex integrates multiple application modules, including pick-and-place, pneumatic grippers, screwdriving, and inspection, while allowing seamless switching between operations such as odd-form insertion, SMT placement, dispensing, and screwdriving. It supports components from small devices to 440g transformers, making it a perfect fit for complex assembly requirements. The system also reduces defects and worker fatigue in heavy-duty tasks such as lead bending and high-pressure insertion. With a machine length of only 1 meter, Uflex achieves up to 99% FPY and 4 times throughput. It has been widely adopted in the automotive electronics, AI server, aerospace, and defense industries.
• Cyber–Physical Integration Smart Assembly Line: Delta presented its digital twin solution by integrating the exhibited equipment on site to cover complete key stations for electronics assembly: From depaneling by the Bottom Router Machine DRB-S20, High-Speed Insertion Machine D30, to SMT placement by the EPIQx Platform, the Semi-Automatic Press-Fit Machine, and eventually to the heavy-duty processing by the multifunctional Uflex® Platform.
