Anything that can handle the standard SMT packages of today has to be precision. The machines have to be built rigid, and cannot be made of sub-standard components. I have worked with placement machines since the late 80's. The machines that work th

Harry, thanks for your comments. Certainly circuit diagrams where appropriate and mechanical schematics of complex parts like the head would be useful to the end user. We are working hard to eliminate relays and switches from the unit, and things

The Essemtec has a very cheap to manufacture feeder which you could adapt, or try one of the feeders that remove the tape by "ploughing" it off. Can't recall the brand right now. They are well made, but very cheap to make. The laser gets you speed. T
