The 0816 SMT Automatic Feeder are designed to be used in a pick and place machine to supply smd parts for assembly on a PCB. It's specially designed to integrate well with the OpenPnP pick and place software.

• designed and highly optimized for 3d printing
• feeder supports embossed plastic tapes and paper tapes
• feed lengths: multiples of 2mm, so 0402 packages are supported
• unit for automatic cover tape-removal, easily replaceable by an own solution if preferred
• 3 sets ready to print for 8mm, 12mm and 16mm wide tapes
• the feeders lane height (1.25mm nominal) is adjustable for different types of tape. Tested are
  • thin paper tapes (thickness 0.6mm, e.g. most 0603 resistors)
  • thick paper tapes (thickness 1.0mm, e.g. 0603 caps)
  • embossed plastic tapes (thickness 0.3mm, e.g. 0805 caps)
• costs about 10$ per feeder if sourced globally (1.2$ plastics, 3.00$ N20 motor, 2.00$ SG90 servo, 0.8$ motor pcb plus some screws, microswitch, bearing, springs, cables)
• one 8mm-feeder prints in about 5-7 hours (@ 0.3mm layer / 0.4mm nozzle / ~70mm/s)
• trigger manual feed operation via pressing on cover tape tensioner. Useful to setup feeder.
• overall width of one feeder at 8mm tape → 13.5mm, 12mm tape → 16mm, 16mm → 20mm
• compact feeder pcb for clean and easy cabling, order directly from OSHpark for less than 2$ per 3 pcb
• native arduino mega shield for up to 24 feeders including checking feeder state plus some extra ADC in and power outputs
• alternative shield arduino mega sensor shield 2.0 for up to 48 feeders without extras
• arduino firmware to interpret G-Codes received from OpenPnP to trigger a feed and configure feeder
