PSE-20USB / PSE-20AV
The PSE-20. High precision manual Pick & Place machine. It comes in different configurations: with 1 or 2 microscopes, AV or USB.
PSE-20USB / PSE-20AV
Are you tired of placing SMD components on the PCB by tweezers or by vacuum pen... holding the breath and squeezing your eyes? The PSE-20 is the perfect solution for fast and easy prototyping. It come in 2 versions:

PSE-20 Features
The PSE-20 is fully equipped with: vacuum pump, rotary pipe joint, 1 or 2 USB microscopes or 2 AV microscopes, extensions, pedal switch, 2 electro-valves, pipes, green A2 PAD... Weight (pad excluded) is 250 grams (0.5 lb), size 50cm x 37cm (21.2 x 14.5 inches). Assorted needles of different size are provided for the suction system. The movements along the axis X, Y and Z are smooth and precise.
Strenght: precise positioning thanks to the magnification of the microscopes. Fast learning curve.
Robust and light frame
The frame of the PSE is made of aluminum, light and robust. The brackets are made by a special plastic alloy. Thanks to the POM Pulley Wheels used in the 3D printing industry the movements are smooth and precise. The setting of the brake effect on the movement is made by the lower eccentric nuts.
Nozzles
The nozzle provided fit almost all scenarios. They are two 16G, one 18G, two 20G and two 21G. You will change the nozzle screwing and unscrewing in the connector, which has an internal thread. Half spin of the nozzle is enough to mount or unmount it. The length of the noozles is enough to let you see beyond it.
Two cameras
Having 2 microscopes eliminates the parallax error... you clearly see the exact alignment on both axes, and you can place the components trusting your eyes, on the go... no need for the reference point method as for the PSE-20 in 1 microscope configuration... The advantage of the AV microscopes is that they don't have delay. The USB ones at higher resolution have a delay. The advantage of the USB microscopes is that you can shoot pictures or record videos of your work on your notebook.

To operate any PSE model, no matter if manual or automatic, does not require special ability, but it does require a little bit of practice to understand how to move and how to stop steadily in a place. The rotation can be controlled thanks to a rotary joint. The needle can rotate independently from the pipe connected to the vacuum pump. This is well shown in some videos in the media gallery. To release the component you will use a pedal switch
