About This Service

Picking up a component from one location and placing it in another is how all automated Pick and Place Machines work. Rather than utilizing fingers or tweezers like a human operator, the pick and place employs a tiny suction nozzle to push against the component and hold it in place with suction. 



Once the nozzle gets a solid grip on the component, it raises it and inserts it where it is needed, immediately releasing the suction. While the Pick and Place Machine, or Pick and Place Machinery, is programmed with the component's original and final positions, slight deviations in placement can occur. Then, using computer vision, these positions are validated, ensuring that the board is indeed in the desired position. 



It also ensures that the nozzle picks up the component. Fiducials and tooling holes are commonly referenced in discussions of automated machines since both are used by computer vision as references. Fiducials are made specifically for this purpose, whereas tooling holes are made primarily to keep boards or panels in place mechanically, but they can also be used as reference points. 



The great majority of Pick and place machines use a Cartesian Coordinate System, with the head moving in the X and Y axes for the most part. The nozzle may move up and down on the Z-axis to choose components, however, the majority of movement is two-dimensional. 



There is now experimentation on constructing Delta Pick and Pick and Place Machines based on comparable designs for 3D printers, particularly in the low-cost, do-it-yourself community. Pick and Place Machines are becoming increasingly popular because of their mechanical simplicity and inexpensive cost, even though the mathematics behind the movement is slightly more challenging. 



The delta Pick and place machine gets much higher to handle the side-to-side motion as the X and Y-axis needs increase, making the overall machine fairly ungainly with the arms becoming longer, heavier, and more prone to mistakes. Also, because the delta motion is a lower-cost machine, it is less likely to include a spinning feature on the tip, as well as other characteristics. Cartesian-based systems are significantly easier to scale, and the two-dimensional structure of the system allows for faster movement. It has also had more time to be tuned for speed, accuracy, and cost because it is an older, more established technology.
