I recently upgraded my liteplacer with Hiwin linear ails typ MGN12, 12mm width. I bought them from china, its original stuff, 2 rails on the X, 2 on Y and 1 on Z. All together for aprox. 350 Euro. To make it possible I milled some new plates from 3mm aluminium, I first thought I would get it with mo...

To see what a liteplacer can do for you, I made a short video from my machine, which just placed 30 pcb without an error :D https://youtu.be/q_FL8kkmXkI It shows my own software, which is quite different from the original software, maybe some of the features like pcb preview, strip capacity and pres...

I am glad I could help.

At least at my computer it solved nearly all problems I had with the software

I assembled 20 boards 100x160 each yesterday, they went through in an hour, and not one error, all smooth. I added another usb camera to it, as a control cam which shows me the nozzle so I can see what happens while placing. So with 3 cams running it used only 80 MB Ram, and I did not have any stops...

I warm this up again :-) Yesterday I did a long planned experimental approach on bottom vision. I changed the rmod-fork so that I have a new data field in the tapes, telling me that I need alignment help with the bottom cam. I can heck that "on" to any tape I like to have bottom vision ali...

I run Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.

Strange. My machine is very very fast, 32 GB Ram, M2 SSD, Core I7 8700K, top of the list, could not be faster I think. But it could not clean the garbage can fast enough :-) Your latest standard software shows that memory loadup at my machine too, up to 1.6 GB is used. As soon as it comes over 1.6 G...

I tested it today, and it really is the trick. My machine runs much better now, all connection problems are gone. I also had some com problems suddenly it lost connection to the tinyG. It seems that those are gone too, I guess the programm was very busy when memory was full, resulting in missing com...

Today I made a big discovery: Liteplacer Software often had severe problems with my cams, it worked a while, and suddenly the cams froze. I could trace that to the memory usage of the software, racing up as high as 1.6 GB Ram sometimes. The garbage collector of Visiual Studio frees up mem in interva...

I added a pcb-preview too :-) This shows a coarse image of the pcb data, to be sure I lay it correct on the table. It currently only parses for 0603, 0805, 0401 and 1206 in the component and displays it as a SMD 0805. All other parts are black squares. But it is enough to see what is on the board on...
