Pick and Place Robot for Surface Mounting Devices

摘要

This project is based on pick-and-place machines for placing surface mount devices onto the printedcircuit board. In general, the SMT pick and place robot using an end effectors to pick and place thecomponent on the PCB and a controller is used to control the movement of the stepper motor. Our SMTpick and place machine is designed with a Cartesian configuration, and the Arduino UNO controllerwith the CNC shield controls the stepper motors. The end effectors use a vacuum suction pen to pick andplace the components and a belt mechanism is used in the z-axis for up-down motion. Our machine isportable and well suited for small scale industries. Our project satisfies one important sustainabledevelopment goal - industry, innovation, and infrastructure.
