Dear all, Thank you all for your answers. I read about the embedded features like fine tuning of parts. I am not aware of those features yet and have to test. The interest of a retrofit is that there is no limit to extending features, like testing components during picking, testing boards or placing smaller parts. There is a glue nozzle included, but it is not working very well. So I can dream of working glue system. Or even place a small laser to weld the glue ... Controlling a pick-and-place with LinuxCNC is important in a Free Software perspective. Also, I want to invest in a technology that will last many years ahead (if not forever). With LinuxCNC, I know that I can replace nearly every single component of the machine and still be working. I have to organize delivery (I bought several of the same model) and I will post photos and videos shortly. Kind regards,
