Neoden YY1 pick and place machine: Setup, calibration, tests and review!

UPDATE! Neoden contacted me and said that I don’t have the proper nozzle for 0201 (CN030), so that’s even more impressive if it was doing it with a nozzle that’s technically too big (CN040)!

This video is basically my review of the entry level Neoden YY1 pick and place machine. The Neoden YY1 is a dual nozzle PnP machine that uses drag feeders, cut tape holders, vibration feeders and bulk bins for feeding parts. Unfortunately I do not show the bulk or vibration feeders in this video.
