Neoden YY1 pick and place machine follow up video 1
As requested, a post honeymoon follow-up video on our YY1 pick and place machine.
One thing to consider when listening to me is that I design and manufacture amateur pick and place systems, as well as other mechatronic systems and I write my own code, including user interfaces. What this means is that I have a better understanding than most about what to reasonably expect from a machine in this price range.
03:00 Getting ready to run after being in a cupboard for 2 months.
05:00 Tip regarding adjustment of the placement locations
07:35 Running the job again with next to no preparations
13:28 debriefing the first run (actually about 120 boards later...)
16:52 Alignment of the PCB origin rail
20:50 PCB rotation, and my plan for better initial setup with custom fiducials
27:15 Tool changer alignment
30:42 Custom tape feeders and removal of the vibratory feeder
Thanks!

Neoden YY1 pick and place machine: Setup, calibration, tests and review!

UPDATE! Neoden contacted me and said that I don’t have the proper nozzle for 0201 (CN030), so that’s even more impressive if it was doing it with a nozzle that’s technically too big (CN040)!

19 “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and [a]fared sumptuously every day. 20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21 desiring to be fed with [b]the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’ 27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ ” Luke 16:19-31
Hi how do you program noozle with Sinumerik? I have Siemens 828D on my mill and i want to make the same think you made. Can you please tell me some informations? thanks a lot and very good job ;)
I think the missing 5th 0201 is your error. It places the first four in pairs, then the second set of four in pairs skipping the one between, then the final 9th as a single. One the one hand you really need 0201 pads (kinda hard to miss an 0402 pad with an 0201) - but also remember paste adds a bit of adhesion. Excellent video for anyone contemplating a YY1!
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?
I stick some weight the tape and it works well
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.
We have no issue on the bench. In fact we pick it up and store it in the cabinet each time. It’s well engineered and rigid. It wiggles and shakes on the bench but that doesn’t seem to hurt its performance. We use GC-10, but we don’t have a ton of experience with other pastes to compare. We have no issues aside from a pretty hot reflow temp that must be hit for it to flow.
Is the reel feeder custom made or come with the machine? I would appreciate the 3d model for them.
They are 3D printed from the factory and I doubt they would share the files.
Was this full speed ? Seems like only around 1000 components / hour much less than claimed 3000 components per hour.
Definitely not full speed. We favor reliability over speed. I will have to check but I think this might be 80% ?
@@betztechnikindustriesltd.8901 Makes sense to run a bit below 100% for reliability. But even if this is the default 70% is still much slower than spec and this will be to slow for me so will need to look at some other alternatives.
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
It certainly might not be for everyone however its quirks have been surpassed by the advantageous for our use-case. I agree about injection molding the parts. It would make the machine a lot more stable, however I must say that we’ve been quite pleased with the drag feeders. Maybe every run of 60 or so boards we might have to swap friction rings on a couple of peeler gears. For us it’s not so bad compared to how we used to do it.
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 will have to check that out! I certainly didn’t seem to be anything on the camera so that makes sense.
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.
What is the cost?
Thanks for the update! Looking forward to future updates.
Thanks!!
Please, give us some update?
It’s coming !!
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 think the parts are at 4mm linear spacing in the tape, if that is what you mean?
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.
Honestly the software on the YY1 is not bad.
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.
There’s no question that if you have demanding requirements you should probably buy something more advanced. But if you don’t, then is it worth it?? I did hear somewhere that they are working on dual fiducial alignment, I will ask them about it. I would have thought there there’s no chance of your panels being skewed in rotation, I thought all you’d get is an offset in X and Y. If it’s common for boards to be rotated it could explain why we aren’t placing TQFP 24 perfectly… I will have to investigate further.
@@betztechnikindustriesltd.8901 I think it works for smaller PCBs well. But when you have bigger PCBs there might be problems? I don't know why they implemented the fiducial check with two or three fiducials. They told me that's not easy to implement and there is another camera required. I don't understand this, because it's also possible to pick up loose components. So the fiducial measurement should be no problem. I think only one fiducial as you say should also work. But then is a fixed zero point needed. Better then nothing. The other thing that bothers me is the calibration of the nozzles and the pin. Why they don't use the bottom camera for calibration like any professional machine does? I know that the YY1 is cheaper compared to other PnP's. But they should have invested a little more time in the software. Then it would also be a real reason to buy.
How big of an idiot would you have to be to put in your PCB skewed? I have a simple TM240A that had no vision, and I never worried about a skewed board because it snaps into holders with spring loading. My investment paid for itself 50X over and now I'm upgrading to the YY1.
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!
Couldn’t agree more! We have one mostly filmed. Maybe it will be done by the end of the week.
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....
Well I obviously can’t say for sure. I did discuss videos with them first, so maybe they spent a little extra time on ours? We just found our nozzle station was off too. I might be able to put that in our follow up video. As far as board files, I just looked at their demo file and rearranged the columns of what KiCad spits out. 5 min job. I can actually automate the process but haven’t bothered as we do production not prototyping. Sorry to hear you had trouble (not saying ours was perfect, just better than expected for the money!)
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!
It’s not perfect but it’s been working well for us. The QFP 24 processors usually need a slight bump with the tweezer to align but the other parts are usually no issue at all.
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.
Yes I would agree to get some extra cut tape holders! I might make some CNC machined trays for larger IC’s.
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.?
That is how you calibrate the feeder needle. In slams down to make a mark that you then find with the camera. It’s aggressive because it’s a solenoid. Works great!
any updates?
Yes I do have some updates. I’ve got some more footage and updates, will have to make a new video.
Can anyone tell me the max PCB size the YY1 can handle? And the smallest pitch components it can handle?
I have answered that in more detail in another comment I think. I recall 18 x 18 which is TQFP 144 I think ? It does 0201 but I’m not sure about min part pitch. I’ve got the vision working for large IC’s now but there is still an alignment issue, more like rotation but I think it’s the pcb alignment rail. Investigating and will report back.
What's the largest part that can be placed, assuming of course you have to use a different feeder i.e.TQFP-100?
According to the specs, it can place a maximum of 18mm x 18mm square, which would be TQFP-144 I guess. I did figure out my vision issues with the larger parts and it’s working now. Will do an update video. The TQFP’s I’m placing aren’t 100% perfect but I’m suspecting it’s because the PCB rail isn’t 100% square to the X rail.
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.
Congrats. I just ran another small job the other day and it went quite well. Hope you have the same luck as me with the machine!
@@betztechnikindustriesltd.8901 The YY1 arrived and there was some shipping damage to the bottom camera display, which prevents me from doing bottom camera calibration. Neoden USA instantaneously responded to my email about this (in the evening!) and had a replacement display panel ordered within the hour. I was still able to get the demo PCB placement working, with good results. I also used the tape extenders for mounting in the feeders. I found that you need to be careful and not have any of the adhesive on the extender exposed, otherwise the tape will get wound up in the gears that pull the tape cover.
@@infinitemachinery7409 Well that sounds like the best result of an unfortunate situation! I just ran into that adhesive issue today, definitely a thing, haha.

@@betztechnikindustriesltd.8901 Thank you very much!
This was a wonderful, informative and very helpful video. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Glad you enjoyed it Jon!
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.
You are welcome. I’m glad you found it useful. Since you said mostly positive, I feel like I was objective enough. It has limitations for sure, but it is that simplicity that I also feel is one if it’s main strengths! If there is an appetite I can certainly post more videos about the YY1.

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
Our pleasure! In our opinion you guys have made a great little machine considering the cost.
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
Thank you 👍
Why not just use the built in Siemens features that do the same thing?
While a couple of the features could be activated in the 808, the vast majority of things implemented in the screen set would not be possible without the use of the custom area of the control.
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.
I hope you enjoy our nozzle holders! I certainly wouldn’t suggest anyone should cancel their build plans, for me this machine is supplemental. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

or like a sprinkler
Yes for sure, lots of options if you have some pressure and flow to spare, which I do not! This system allows me to flush a small area at a time as to not empty my tank. I don’t think my tank is even 60L.
Peter…. good solution to the ‘minimal flow’ situation with our ‘Iron Syils’ 👍 I went old school with an external 1/4 hp pump, rigged up to side manifolds with four adjustable nozzles on each side . The inside of my X7 looks like the control room on a WW2 sub 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Biggest problems with these models, is the ‘flow Shute’ fitted into the basin casting. It cuts down the free area for coolant/chips flow into the tank. I removed mine, then did some ‘surgery’ to the webbing on the underside of the shute and CI ‘basin’ to try to prevent coolant ‘running’ along the webs. That bloody steel insert also created a 1/8” step around the outflow 😱 ( acts like a chip dam 🤬). Judicious use of a by-pass on my pump helps regulate the flow to keep at least some coolant in the tank. The sight glass is a great idea too mate… might copy that myself 👍 Regards Robert
Nice job. Never seen that Siemens Logo before, that’s a smart little device. The X7-20 has good chip flow away, but would definitely benefit from some spray bars along the back to help clear the bottom.
@@RobertBrown-lf8yqHi Robert. I know exactly what you mean about your mods. I did them all myself as well! If you look when I film in the cabinet, that chip chute is sitting in there. Haha. One thing I noticed is that the pump is very far off the bottom of the tank. I might 3D print an extension on the bottom and see if that helps. It starts foaming when it is pulling air.
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.
