Hi, I guess you a looking for a manual x-y table with a vacuum pick up such as SMT6000 from OK industries. I presume these are still being made-- We use one successfully at the end of a Mydata machine to place low volume components which we cannot j

Kevin You had stated "manual" so I assumed that you are looking for some better tools to actually do the work, but you wanted to keep it on the conveyor line which would require some workstation configuration to have the right tools at the operator
