LumenPNPv2
General Info
Pick and Place machine capable of placing parts as small as 0603 (possibly 0402). Optimized for prototypes & small/mid-scale manufacturing. Works with OpenPNP for operation, so a PC is required.
- Max board size: 225mm x 400mm
- Max part weight: 25 grams
- Max part height: 20mm
This machine is a v2. The latest version is v4, but upgrading from v2 to v4 is not trivial, and v2 will probably serve our needs just fine.
In general, the pick-and-place process can sometimes require tuning. Have extra parts and boards available for the inevitable mistakes, and consider using double-sided tape to do a test placement run before breaking out the stencil & solder paste.
For double-sided PCBs, you will need to run the first side with higher-temperature solder paste, and the second side will have to use a lower-temperature paste. Also, when running the second side, your stenciling, PCB holders, and hot plate/reflow oven will also have to accommodate the parts on the first side when working on the second side.
Machine Version, Docs, and General Links
The version we're focusing on is v2. Feeders are not included in the kit, but can be added on.
Adding Feeders
Feeder parts (NOT YET ACQUIRED):
Without purchase of the above two parts, we will be using strip feeders, which take up space where the PCB mounts.

Material info from the docs:
These parts are designed for PLA, however, some folks have printed the parts successfully with PETG. You'll need about 1 kg of the primary filament.
There are three situations where you'll need specific filament colors:
- White or transparent filament for the light mounts, top-light-mount and bottom-light-mount. These parts act as light diffusers for the ring lights.
- White or light colored filament for the nozzle-rack. This helps with setting up the automatic tool changer.
- A darker filament for the Z gantries, z-gantry-left and z-gantry-right. This helps the bottom camera distinguish the nozzle tip from the rest of the gantry. If you print in a lighter color anyway you can use a bit of blue painter's table on the bottom side of the gantry.
Be sure to check the docs for printer settings.
