Hi

I believe the LitePlacer may well achieve our protyping goals. Normally each board has 500+ components on each side, but this is made up of over 100 different components.

That said, ability to recover from errors is the most requested feature, implying keeping count what components are placed and what are not. The concept of tape capacity and more than one tape of same component are also wished for and too useful not to add. I have no date, but I will add these.

Has this been implemented yet as it would also enable us to maybe place 40 of the components in one pass, change out and put in another 40 components etc and carry on. Also some of the components (see below) are very large so I cannot get enough on in one row.

Also what is the max height of component which can be placed? We are using many of the 7109DG heatsinks.

They are about 12mm high and come packaged in a 44mm Tape. Can the system cope with this? Weight is not an issue.

Thanks

-Tape capacity feature is not implemented yet.

-Max component height is not a problem; the nozzle travel height has no hard limit by design, the position of the limit switch can be adjusted. For laughs: here is what happens if it is not adjusted correctly:
