Open Source SMT Pick and Place Hardware and Software
- michael_j_ward 4y agoTIL what an "SMT Pick and Place" [0][1] machine is. Summary: $1000 and with open source hardware and tools, I can make custom computing hardware for your projects. Seems pretty cool.

- jdiez17 4y agoSee also the LumenPnP by Opulo [1]. It’s a fully open source (hardware and firmware) pick and place machine with optical tracking, basically a perfect match for the OpenPnP control software. [1] https://opulo.io/products/lumenpnp https://opulo.io/products/lumenpnp
- mNovak 4y agoThis is very cool, thanks! According to the site, it does in indeed run openPnP
- OJFord 4y agoIt uses OpenPnP, or at least it did, it's been a while since I saw any of the videos ('Stephen Hawes [née the Robot]' on YouTube).
- IIsi50MHz 4y ago> Minimum Component Size: 0603 I'm stocking mostly 0402. We're shlepping it to various small assemblers, but considering a small PnP for in-house prototypes and as a reserve resource for when the assemblers are overcommitted or have other problems
