Problems with Luer Lock and/or the Pickup-Tube?

Hello folks, at the moment we have a problem with the accurate placing of the small parts like 0603 or 0805. We recognized a clearly visible wobbling of the needle. We exchanged the needle a few times but this didn`t solve the problem. Then we took a closer look at the Luer-Lock (see video). https:/...

Main-wish: Better support for the up-camera for part-placing

Hi, thanks to all developers for your work! Some things would important to improve - especially for the placing of ICs with very little distances between the pins, which is hard to do with the current software. For that our main wishes for improving the liteplacer software would be the following thi...

Re: Placing components does not work

Hello you all, thanks for your great help! We found the mistake, we confound the wiring of the A-Stepper, B1 and B2. Now, the rotation is in the right direction, and the small condensators are nearly in the right postition (see attached pic). But the postitioning of the parts is not so accurate as w...

Exporting the Settings of Liteplacer-Software

Hi folks,

we want to export the settings of Juha's original liteplacer software to use it on another PC.

What files have to be transferred to catch all the important settings?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Placing components does not work

Hi,
we tried it again, but the problem isn't been solved.

With a rotation <= 90 dregrees, the components have been placed mostly accurate.

With a rotation > 90 Degrees the are mistakes as shown on the picture.

Could this be a hardware or a software problem?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Placing components do not work

Thanks for your answer!

One question: Does "clockwise" means: view from top-down direction or bottom-up direction?

Thanks in advance!

Placing components does not work

Hi all, after finishing the basic setup I tried to place some parts using the Hello World example. After setting up the tape, I performed a homing, a Re-measure and a needle calibration. An alingment test of the tape position shows this result, not that bad I would say. Parts.PNG But the result is n...

Re: If there are no fudicials

Hi folks, we have the same problem, we have a pcb whithout fiducials and tried to define some vias on the pcb as a replacement for that. We entered the coodinates of the vias but our liteplacer couldn't find the holes again. It drives around to a complete false postition in x/y direction, the softwa...
