Thaks for the video. If you put the cross hair on the copper, you may use the fiducial as a test point as well..,

Hello, I think you missed to program to place at 5th position for 0201 you can count that there are 10 positions to place and 2 nozzles should do full 5 trips but on 5th trip there only one nozzle working you can see at around the 36 min mark of the video. But very helpful video.

Thank you for this Video... I have a 2020 with full Siemens setup, so I might do Z axis and spindle as well. Think I might have some tiny issues with mine, since I have not done the tuning part. I have tiny issues in Z sometimes.

How did you fix the tape feeder TAPE pulling problem?

This video is great but I cant use it as a reference on how to use the machine. After this one, you must make a new clean video showing the exact steps from the beginning on how to load your CVS file and start from there. Watching this one hour video was not the correct decision to know how to use the YY1. Sorry its so confusing

How cheap is the PNP?

I'm on the fence about changing to 0603 on some LED's on my boards. I have the YY1, and yes, the demonstration board that came with it seems to show accurate placement,, but I'm very nervous since I have been using 1206 for years. Should I relax and go for it? Also, what is your favorite solder paste? I've been using the NC191AX35 63/37 T4 from Chipquick (leaded), but I would like to go lead free if I find something with good wetting. I have an improvement of the light filter on the downlooking camera of the YY1 in one of the videos on my page. It greatly improves the ability to find fiducials.

how is it with placing 0402 components?

I have two questions I hope you can answer. #1, do you find the tabletop adequate, or do you think it would be better on a sturdy stand that has an opening for the used tape to pass through? #2, what is your favorite solder paste? I'm using ChipQuik NC191AX35 that flows well, but it is 63/37 lead and I'm interested trying some lead-free.

Is the reel feeder custom made or come with the machine? I would appreciate the 3d model for them.

Was this full speed ? Seems like only around 1000 components / hour much less than claimed 3000 components per hour.

Thanks for your videos about the YY1. It would be interesting to "reverse engineer" the feeder modules. From the video, it seems that a piece of sheet metal (with something on it) is used as a spring to keep the tape in place. I'll patiently waiting for the follow up video 2.

thank you for your efforts. although the size and price is right for me, I decided I will not but this machine. all plastics are 3D printed parts which has their unpredictable tolerances, that's maybe ok for first machines but a company who cares about it's customers should replace with proper injection molded parts. And the QFP that don't align.. thank you for bringing it up

Thank you!

For the nozzle station alignment, you need to line up nozzle 1 with the center screw (x and y). You can't use the camera. I know it sounds screwy, but that's the deal.

I also bought a YY1 this year. Your videos have been essential in helping me understand the machine and its quirks. Once you understand its limitations and how to operate it, it's a pretty nice machine. I have it setup now for doing two different boards. Once thing that still irks me is that it will not remember the pick position for the 'flexible feeders' between power cycles. I find I have to reset these positions every time I start the machine. What are you using for labeling your feeders? It looks sharp.

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to future updates.

Please, give us some update?

Thank you for the only well detailed thing I can find on the Internet about using this machine. We have a question about what pitch is appropriate for 0402 feeders. Is this something you're familiar with? Trying to find super detailed info on this is rather lean.

I'm working with a Neoden assembly line at my job. It consist of a Neoden S1 pick and place and a Neoden IN12 for the reflow oven. The software on the S1 just isn't good, at least not as good as the one on the machine you're using. It does the job but only when you went through *EVERY* problem the machine will have in a production. Great hardware ruined by poorly done software.

No automatic calibration, and no detection if the circuit board is twisted, that's shit. It's better to spend a little more money for a machine that can do that.

Hello sir can you share with your prusa 3D printed design...?

Hello sir hope you are reply for prusa i3 3D printer cnc cuting pat

Your review and going through the first steps is really very well done and detailed. But new tools are always great ... after a few months, sometimes it looks different and frustration or disappointment spreads in some aspects that you did not see in the beginning. It would be really nice and helpful to get another video with some distance from the honeymoon. Thanks in advance for that!

I don't know if neoden sent you a "perfectly assembled" machine just for the review, because I got one and it was a whole mess... X and Y belts weren't tightened enough, the head even vibrated while moving in the Y axis. Repeatability was totally none.... eveytime we pointed to a component, position was different... everytime!!!. Needle gets sometimes stuck when it goes down, you have to "push" it up so it goes back Left motor sometimes misses some "steps"... and you have to calibrate the machine again. Nozzle station position was totally wrong.... how we made it work?... who knows!!!. Getting the machine to translate the components' centroids from your CSV file, was a huge problem... (we use EAGLE and they told us that it was designed for Altium's files), we made an Altium Designer Pick and Place file... and didn't work either!!!... When we finally made it to "interpret" the centroids' coordinates of the components... the machine wasn't able to "read" the rotation values correctly, so it set all the rotation values for every component to 0°. So, now that you show the machine working Perfectly fine just after unboxing it.... even without vision system sometimes... I simply don't know what to think nor what to say....

BRAZIL RIO DE JANEIRO . MAIS UM INSCRITO POR CONTA DESTE VÍDEO.

Glad you are able to share your experience with the yy1. I have been considering it, but concerned about the tape cover winders and the single fiducial alignment. I am just south of you in Kamloops!

We are probably getting a YY1. Are there any accessories you would suggest to add to the standard model? I am planning on getting more trays and cut-strip feeders as these appear handy for small prototype production.

Very useful video - thanks for taking your time to do that. I did not quite understand what went wrong at @1.03 where the needle appears to slam into the panel. I assume it is some error but what provoked this.?

any updates?

Can anyone tell me the max PCB size the YY1 can handle? And the smallest pitch components it can handle?

What's the largest part that can be placed, assuming of course you have to use a different feeder i.e.TQFP-100?

Many thanks for this video! It just so happens that I'm taking delivery of a YY1 today. Your video has provided a wealth of practical information and has boosted my confidence that I made a good decision to purchase the YY1.

Hi, very impressive. Feeders look different. They look wider. Where did you get them and how can we buy? Thank you...

This was a wonderful, informative and very helpful video. Thanks for sharing your journey!

A big "thank you" for posting this very informative video. I've been considering for some time to purchase a YY1 for my work, and it serves as another mostly positive data point, along with the others. I have a much older Neoden machine that has thus far served me well, but also 'within its limitations', as it does not have vision at all.... and for obvious reasons I wish to upgrade. 0402 parts are a major challenge for it. ( Though I forgive it, for as I age and my eyesight fails me they're becoming a challenge for me as well 🤣) I look forward to more videos should you decide to make them.

Thanks Peter , That's a great review just what I wanted to know. I think the "its hammer time " should be added to open PNP drag feeders. Just for sheer entertainment value.

Hi,my dear friend from Betz Technik Industries Ltd.,thank you for choosing of our NeoDen YY1 Pick and Place machine and nice sharing video.--tonny-neoden

I came to the conclusion that, building reliable electric feeder is something very very difficult to achieve with low cost. you end up spending more than second hand electric feeder or pneumatic feeder. I found out push feeders are both reliable and carry reasonable price . I got some feeders from th-cam.com/video/gYJmOeTyd0U/w-d-xo.html . BTW I own your v1 head. your last head will need very little modification to be usable with this kind of feeder. ;-)

Nice Video 👍 looks nice

Why not just use the built in Siemens features that do the same thing?

I'm pretty sure that I want to design and build my own machine rather than get a YY1 (I ordered some of your Juki nozzle holders... yay!). But I still found this interesting and educational. I'm looking forward to seeing more about your experience with this machine.

ya just need a carwash spin attachment and hook to one of those lines that would clean it

Thank you very much for your honesty and the video you present and you just mentioned the important key subjects which could impact the production somehow,, I used to be a Tool Maker and Mold Maker. I’m in a different career now but always following up the CNC world news and videos you people post from all around the country, hopping to have my own little Machine Shop and make something

Hi Peter, Hope all is well with you? Great vid mate 👍 On another matter, I’ve just received a Facebook ‘friend invitation’ from a ‘Kimberly Betz’. Any connection to you? Regards Robert

What is that ticking noise?

Thanks for that video Peter, very useful. I’m just at the point now where I’m going to put the 4th axis back into my X7 and start playing around with it. I’ve borrowed a Lang master tool to setup the Lang face plate, then I’ll start making some simple square and hexagon ends to some bar stock just to see how my cam is going. How did these parts come out for you?

Great info and thanks for posting! Which province are you located in?

Is that 808d advanced? You have rotary table and this is 5 th axis ( 808d can use only 4)
