- Improvised SMT pick'n place machine
EMC linux, program written in G-code.
No cameras or other feedback sensors.
No rotation of components (PCB was rotated instead).
Manual nozzle change.
Aprox. 300-400 parts/hour (very slow!)
Provided tons of good information for "real thing"... and was FUN!
As slow as it was, I'm highly impressed! The sheer accuracy makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Perfect!
you say it's slower than doing it by hand, but you can just walk away and still skip the work of doing it by hand. Very cool.
I like the way you have your resistor strips held. We have some tray feeders set up with pins and put them through the sprocket holes of the tapes to keep them in place. It is handy if the parts are not on reels.
Manual may be faster, but you don't have to pay them for coffee and smoke breaks. Nice work.
Very nice, I wouldn't mind making one myself.
Dear Sigicnc, great video, we are also working on a opensource pick and place machine.
Cool stuff
Nice :-) What material are the nozzles from? Is it possible to use (flat) hollow needles without losing too much vacuum pressure (due to leaking)?
WOW thats great. Home engineering love it
Very impressive, well done!
@sigicnc
Tnx for quick answer. I never used a refrigerator compressor. I heard the compressor is full of oil, so the compressed air contains oil fog - but don't know if it is right (I want compressed air for a pin transportation of the belt as seen in some videos here) Is it easy to run such a compressor? Is it a good idea to get speed to switch from vacuum to pressured air for pushing the part instead of simply releasing? Yes, I use TB6560AHQ drivers with up to 1/16 step. Motion is smooth :-)
That was really cool, you said about the hot bed from the bottom and hot air from the top, what sort of temperatures would be used?
For the 90• parts could their reals be run at 90• the the other parts so that they are I'm the correct orientation?
Awesome work man!!!
Awsome for a DIY machine! congrats!
its very useful for saving time...
Well done by the way!
@sigicnc
Thank you :-) I will use tooth belts together with my steppers so I hope this will dump the vibrations. May be some rubber at the tip could stop this moving. How do you get your low pressure? I want to use a (silent) aquaristic membrane pump but don't know if it is powerful enough
good work!
what an amazing machine...!!! would you tell me please where can we get that great tool??
Hi! Great project! do you plan releasing your programs sources or developing a free software to generate g-code programs for arbitrary pcbs and placement configurations? I can help with that as I am too interested in conversion of my cnc into an smt machine!
Hi, great project. I have one question. How did you generate the G-Code?
hmm... rotating carousel of parts, pick and place putting them on a belt feeder from the carousel, then only needing to go to one spot to get the next one... perhaps would be faster.
How long is your setup time for a new project?
I'm so sick of placing parts by hand. What are you using for the suction pen?
You should use a delta , its gonna go way faster
This really is the bottom line!!
My question is, which is better, A loving wife or a good cup of coffee, or, are they mutually exclusive?
a wife you can make a coffee
What kind of board is that?
How did you do the gcode?
i'm sure you could make it go faster... ;)
you could do it yourself manually many times faster, as cool as this is it doesn't actually achieve anything
poor machine
