About
The Pick and Place is designed for assembling electronic circuits. It uses OpenPnP and is based on a design from Erich Styger.
The basic process for surface mount circuit board assembly is:
- Using a stencil apply solder paste to the board where the component pads will be soldered
- Put the board in the pick and place and place all the components on the board in their positions
- Move the board to the reflow oven and heat it to melt the solder thus soldering the components in place
The reason for using a pick and place instead of manually placing the parts is two-fold:
- The pick and place is faster and more accurate
- Some of the parts are too small for a human to easily grasp - the vacuum nozzle on the pick and place can handle them easily
Safety
