Hi Simon, ----- Original Message ----- From: Simon-Thijs de Feber To: Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 11:43 AM Subject: Re: [EE:] homemade CNC pick and place | Hello All, | | I've seen the discussions about moving arms / printer | mechanisms for the CNC. | But is it not easier to move your PCB on the X and Y | axis and let the pick and place part just move X and Z | axis to get parts ???? | | To move the pick and place part on 3 axises seems more | | fragile/unstable to me. But... moving the PCB over X & Y axes at high speeds can shift the components already placed relative to the board (assuming only solder paste sticking support).
