Re: Again, another feeder design

I think we could easily do a group buy of several hundred at a time and get everyone going. I would be happy to do some research on what vendors would charge here in the USA. Any chance we could get the cad files for the metal parts? Guys, guys, i'm super happy and humbled over your enthusiasm but ...

Re: Again, another feeder design

WTF if you go on ebay.com you can start to find Juki parts. None of this shows on co.uk verson. I am so glad you show me this. Not just your amazing machine, Amazing Nozzle changer, but your amazing eBay skills also. Oh yeah and then don't forget about alibaba.com and aliexpress.com, amazing source...

Re: Again, another feeder design

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 ...

Thank you, i thought a lot about motorized feeders to but it seemed excessive to me as there *had* to be a mechanical soluti...

Again, another feeder design

I've been working on a cheap but reliable feeder design that is entirely mechanical and does not require any extra movements from the machine, as to not slow down the process. I've come up with this: https://vimeo.com/144454867 . It's all been done on my CNC machine and probably cost me ~$5 in mater...

Re: A whole slew of updates to the RMOD software

So i just uploaded a bunch of bugfixes and a starter implementation for automatic nozzle changers: https://vimeo.com/144454866 , what's left to do is to add it to the job que. use a small roi (as you pretty much know a window where the component will be in) and you can do very fast detection. This s...

Re: A whole slew of updates to the RMOD software

Are you doing fast placement or normal ? In normal placement the downcam looks at the component and determines the postion? + rotation offset (AFAIK) or I could be completely wrong :P anyway on my board (0603) they were pretty spot on using mounting holes as fiducials. Ah yes of course. No the thin...

Re: A whole slew of updates to the RMOD software

You might want to upgrade your down camera. The components seem a bit much off. Not sure how that would help since if it finds the fiducials correctly (and it does), everything else should fall into place since that's the only point where the cameras are used. But yeah, i literally bought the cheap...

Re: A whole slew of updates to the RMOD software

Have you also fixed that tapes can now work in other orientations than X+ ? Y+ and the rest are broken in the latest reza release. If this is fixed than I'm happy :D I'm honestly not really sure if i fixed that or not, but if you use the "set last" "set first" options you can us...

A whole slew of updates to the RMOD software

Hello, i've done a whole bunch of updates to the RMOD software at my local fork: https://github.com/Knaster/LitePlacer-ver2 - i'm hoping people can help me test it and make sure it works before submitting a pull request to Juha. I realize i should not have done as many edits at once, however i start...
