Nozzle Holders

Meet the Betz Technik Industries Juki nozzle holder. It is turned on an extremely accurate Swiss style CNC lathe to achieve minimum runout on the nozzle tips.

Questions

Q: Exactly what hardware am I getting when I purchase a SimplePnP
machine?

A: We have uploaded a
preliminary bill of materials
to the repo. Once production has begun, we will update it with
definitive part numbers for some components. All SimplePnP models
come partially assembled from the factory. All heads come fully
assembled.

Q: How will you make sure these machines are accurate?

A: We will check each axis against a 5 micro resolution glass
linear scale. Every nozzle sold will be measured with a micrometer
and fitted to a nozzle holder to detect leaks and out-of-tolerance
parts.

Q: What’s the roadmap for documentation

A: Our plan is to write assembly and configuration guides for
SimplePnP’s mechanical, electrical, and software systems. If time
allows, we will also produce video tutorials before we ship.

Q: How should I install my pick and place unit?

A: SimplePnP is designed to work on a variety of flat
surfaces. You can use a table or a dedicated base made from sheet
metal or some other material. Small clamps or bolts should be
sufficient to hold it securely and prevent movement.

Q: Is the pump loud?

A: It is somewhat loud. You can place it inside an enclosure to
reduce the noise or you can replace it with a quieter pump.
