We recently added a new pick and place machine to our shop. Here are some images of the machine at work. 

This new machine allows us to completely automate the assembly of printed circuit boards on demand. We can assemble boards at a rate of 5000 parts per hour. The machine has three cameras that control the placement and check the position of the parts to ensure proper placement. We are in the process of building a completely automated assembly line to automate the process of placing and removing boards for assembly. If you have never seen a pick and place machine at work it is awesome how precise the machine places the tinniest components. 

The new machine is also made in the USA, making our made in the USA products made with a machine made in the USA.   This helps us in our effort to support local companies and bring manufacturing closer to home.
