I am really impressed. I also have a CNC mill so I could try make your project when released. soon though I will have over 10 Fuji CP6 feeders and I think I can advance them the same way you have, with no software mods. Also. Where did you get the bits to make the juki auto changer. the spring bit y...

Cool

So the gear is not driven. the motor on the lamination machine causes the forward motion?

The gear on the wheel seems to stop it advancing to much.

I messaged about them LED.

I have the Logitech cam on order.

Can you sell the a printed module and LED boards. Or at least the LED board with LED.

If the price is ok I rather save myself some hassle. so many things to build right now.

I think I will implement the belt and 2 heads. mainly to counter balance the motor and not feel like so much of a bodge, Check the link I am showing (You need to zoom in close to see the counterbalanced heads). I think you can wire steppers in Parallel also and with Nema 8 lower current motors Tiny ...

I could bodge a sensor like Reza used into a opamp comparator and replace the switch. probably will be less hassle than sending digital values to the PC. The only issue I think though is that. this will not release in the same way as the normal liteplacer. Because it will always be active when carry...

Erm I now have much to think about. PCB height, Needle height, are all known. never change for me all that can be worked out using the top sensor. Problem is I guess component height. I dont change jobs much so I could measure everything manually till all the feeders work. But anyways. Did you see a...

I just noticed pickup and place Z variable in the config. I guess this is component height.

Surely the spring in the Juki Nozzle will be enough to stop crashing components.

Or is a gravity and spring system goner be better.

How about the detect of component down.

Can the software run without knowing the needle has touched down.

IE motor down all the way to top of the PCB. and allow spring and gravy to compensate for component height without to much needle pressure hopefully.

I never realized it was important to detect you have hit something each pick operation. Thinking now there is nothing in the software to input component height. I have experience in MACH 3 CNC milling and assumed it was not important to know as the height of everything was known. You just calibrate ...

My head is a bit like the one from Brian Dory Project with Deltron E3 Rails I found second hand on ebay. but will also work with Hiwin 9mm mini rails To attach the juki I will use this. Although if you can find a 5-7mm solid coupler I think this will work. but you cannot order it from ebay etc. if y...
