Pick and Place Component Feeder PnP OpenPNP

A Kit to Build a Pick and Place Component Feeder for Surface Mount Tapes. This kit lets you create a versatile feeder that can handle 8mm, 12mm, and 16mm surface mount component tapes. The kit includes mounts for motors and a printed circuit board (PCB) that enables automation of the feeder. A servo motor drives the movement to push the tape through the mechanism, while a stepper motor controls the removal of film from the component tape. The Control PCB features a RS485 interface, allowing you to control the feeder from a computer terminal that can be connected to multiple units in a daisy chain configuration. The board also includes an IR photo reflector for automatic detection of the Pick and Place nozzle as it picks a part from the tape. For detailed instructions on building the feeder, please visit https://github.com/RowlandTechnology/ComponentFeeder/blob/master/PickAndPlaceComponentFeeder.pdf. A configuration utility to customize the PCB is available at https://github.com/RowlandTechnology/ComponentFeeder.
