This is very close to what the current design can do even in theory: The pulley and belt give 40mm movement on one rotation. 0.9 deg/step is 400 steps per rev, so one step is 0.1mm With 8x microstepping, you in theory get 0.0125mm resolution. But microstepping is not 100% accurate. In our case, the...

I ran this experiment this morning with my now almost fully setup Liteplacer (still need to setup vision for the part tapes). When I jogged to the right and back 100mm I had to micro jog the machine 0.02-0.03mm back to the left to get into the same spot. When I jogged to the left and back I had to m...

I was attempting to calibrate my nozzle height last night and wasn’t initially able to get the process to complete. I figured it out, but I figured it might be good to post about this in case someone else runs into the issue. What was happening was that the nozzle would go down to the PCB, trigger t...

I'm sure you resolved this already, but for anyone else that has this problem here is what my issue was: All limit switches checked out (they caused an error when they weren't expected to be trigger that shut the motors off). The Z homing and Y homing worked great. They would trigger the limit switc...

Would it be possible to get some pictures of the wiring routing between the two cable chains near the Y axis motor? From the picture it almost looks like you've cut out the back of the chain a bit. Also, an up close picture of the wiring routing on the gantry itself would be very useful too. One fin...

Perfect, thank you for the quick response. I'm really looking forward to getting my Lite Placer built and running!

I just oredered a Lite Placer and I apologize if this is a stupid question. I often use some standard components on my designs that I will produce in small batches. I'd like to setup my tapes (about 25 tapes I imagine), run a job, put a new PCB in and run a job right afterwards. Ideally I'd like to ...
