OpenPnP offers a framework to run such a machine. So I thought: why not building one myself too? And here we go :-). When searching for such Pick&Place machines, I stumbled over the OpenPnP project at : A open source community and project which builds such machines. Such a machine is called a ‘Pick and Place’ machine: it picks parts and places them on a PCB. What I wanted is a machine to automate the manual placing of components. But for a few boards as we usually have to do, outsourcing is not the best option as it is expensive and takes a lot of time too. Clearly, for mor than 50 or 100 boards, outsourcing is the logical choice.
Doing it for one board is one thing, but doing it for 10-50 boards takes too much time.
The problem is that this all takes a lot of time.
