Great video, educational as always! I think you can speed up placement of components. Travel fron pick-up point all the way across to the camera takes time. If you place pick-up point on the same side as camera, so it goes from there directly over camera to the PCB, instead of going all across and then back. Shorter distance of travel would help a bit.
interesting. I also have bought a liteplacer. If I will have similar problems I'll go down your road as well. Also I am interested very much in your EDM generator
Nice video once again, I would express interest in a (very) brief overview of the software workflow with your pick and place machine if you find time and motivation ;) Best regards Anton
I think you expect big factories to also at least place the through-hole components by hand, and then wave solder. For connectors like these, you would simply expect them to be replaced with SMD version in most products, look about the same but have pins going off to the side rather than straight through, but this comes with a reliability compromise, so it's not strictly a great idea.
Where I worked the components were hand-placed, their leads cut, and then put into some sort of machine that held a hollow tipped soldering iron full of solder up the bottom of each lead.
Nice but very expensive solutions and a lot of time to assemble and get everything right. I wonder how cost effective it is with the price of assembly from China?
I was wondering these days how come there are no new videos about the edm machine. I am planning to build one once I upgrade to a bigger lathe, and since linuxcnc 2.8 they have introduced negative feed rate, specially for wire edm. I was wondering your libraries would work on a linux machine too, I would prefer to go with linuxcnc rather than DynaMotion or what you were using. Please let me know your thoughts on that!
Although I have not tried with LinuxCNC yet, I'm convinced it should be possible to do the same with it as I do with Dynomotion. The C-code I'm running on Dynomotion for the EDM control loop can easily be ported to other platforms. This code is available to all owners of the BX17 arc generator.
I wonder if the speed of component placement would improve by relocating the bottom camera to the upper right quadrant, so that the bottom camera is more or less in the natural path between the component pick location and the single board location, as the nozzle changes are, probably? less often made than component pick and place... Or? Just a few changes... Doch! Very nice... It would be interesting if you could put links to kit and software in the description area? Thanks for this...
wow, you are a jack of all trades!
Note the PACE ADS200 iron, got that by watching your videos 😁
ohhh so this is why you have the vapor reflow in your newest video!
@Marco Reps I would like to see your edm machine. It could be a nice addition to your diy cnc
You are one man army of whole company creating a product, im impressed, would like to have friend like you! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your process, absolutely fascinating.
This kind of information that is difficult to come by. Thanks so much. My short run projects were always unreliable. This will help.
Top learning , love the way that the pick runout is compensated with the camera
Super great video Buddy! Pick & place and vapor soldering magic are super cool! Thanks for sharing!
This is excellent info, thanks for sharing so much (as you always have on this channel!)

Awesome! Thank you for producing this!
your works and your idea is so great please keep going .
very cool
Very good explanation of the vapor phase soldering process. I had heard of it but I didn't understand it until now!
Impressive, very complex process and professional look, congratulations 👏👏👍
Great information. Thanks so much for sharing.

Very nice setup!
Very cool, thanks for the video

I have newer saw that king of reflow procces,
thinking outside of the box.
Brilliant!
Um I made many changes...by that I mean I changed everything and the product works great!

Really cool!

Awesome, dangling carrots. Can we get a shop tour video?
Very Great!
amazing
If the black grid is any clue, I'm guessing "Waterjet Cutter" :)
Thank you!
Is this pick-place equipment made and design by youself?
What software are you using on the PCB design side, KiCad? (He asked hopefully....)
Fusion 360 (formerly known as Eagle)
What is the name of the pick and place kit?
Liteplacer
