In this video Felix of LowPowerLab demonstrates a complete pick & place assembly of a MoteinoMEGA panel:
The main things to take from this video are:
- effective CPH (components per hour) rating is affected in large by several factors like travel from pick position to placement position, travel speed, mechanical alignment in X and Y directions, vision alignment of each board, pick retries, dropped components, feeder reloading, feeder/tape jams, and many others.
- some components require a medium pick/travel speed and fine settle placement because they are “special” and may flip or get misaligned.
