Dear all, I am new to this list and would like to thank you for your hard work.
Recently, I bought two STM pick and place machines, model Euro Placer 300, a French made pick and place. These are very old models from the 1990s running under DOS. Surprisingly, the machine is a very good and stable with a weight of 400kg. It has a double vision system (one on nosel, the other on bottom), a vibration system and 70 loaders of components (each with a small motor). It can handle components of 0.6mm, but the list of components is somehow locked-down. Also, I don't know how to get new parts for the machine, so I plan to use the second machine for parts. I am planning to migrate the machine to LinuxCNC. There reason that I believe that would extend their livetime ... This kind of machine is nearly unbreakable. This machine is so good-looking that I believe that it could handle very precise parts, maybe 0.2 mm. The only limit is vision analisys. Without vision, you can place parts up to 0.6mm. Below, you need vision. How should I proceed? Like a normal CNC : motors X, Y and Z and then pick and place and finally vision? Are there users sharing the same interest for pick and place? Any comments are welcome. Kind regards, Jean-Michel
