pick and place

[Bill Tyler]

Anyone done anything with pick and place machines?  I am starting to think about trying to get/build one.  I have been looking over this one a bit but am early in the research and would like to hear if anyone has experience and what they have done.

I've used some manual pick and places. I've looked into the automated homebrew ones like the one you linked, and I think it comes down to what you're going to use it for. If you do a lot of one-off/prototyping boards, the time needed to configure the automated pick and place probably isn't worth it, but the assistance of a manual pick and place would help tremendously vs tweezers and the like. I'd say if you're doing 10+ boards of the same design, then an automated one starts looking worthwhile.

And now that I try to look them up, I can't seem to find any images of pick and places similar to the one I've used.
