2020-02-20: Current design sold out. Type II heads now available for pre-order!! Main picture to the left shows the new compact design. See below for more info. Machining is done.
Coronavirus delay. Chinese suppliers like the one I am working with are running out of parts because the factories are not fully up and running. I have finalized the order with them based on the maximum quantities they had left in stock. Some of the rails were upgraded to genuine Hiwin as they only had 10 of the SUS style rails in stock. They need 2-3 days to process those (rails are cut to length then the carts are fitted). I am thinking this order should ship by next week, and take about 4 or 5 days in transit.
Dual nozzle head for pick and place machine. SOME IMAGES SHOW OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT NOT SUPPLIED BY DEFAULT (like the juki nozzle holders, vacuum adapters or the ELP camera). REFER TO THE LISTS BELOW FOR WHAT IS INCLUDED. Surface finish subject to change.
New features (2017-10-21)
- 5v inductive homing sensor!
- CNC machined ELP camera mount
- CNC machined linear rail reference edges!
- CNC machined perpendicular mating edges!
(note some pictures do not reflect the new features)
FULL KIT:
Full set of CNC MACHINED PLATES, Hardware, 2x high quality linear rails, 2x NEMA 8 hollow shaft motors, 1x NEMA 17 Z rotation motor, inductive sensor, brass spur gear, 1/8" delrin pins for locking the X axis belt in the tensioners.
FULL KIT + TWO juki nozzle holders:
Includes everything in the full kit, but also includes TWO juki nozzle holders that will be installed on the NEMA 8 motors and tested to guarantee <0.03mm TIR (Total Indicator Reading) where the juki nozzle mounts. TIR measured will be marked on the motors (e.g.. 0.02mm).
PLATE KIT:
Includes all of the machined plates (9 including the two tensioner brackets) and the required spur gear. You will need to order the rails, motors, inductive sensor and hardware. See below for a list of the required parts to build the head (with buying references!).

2020-01-20 NEW DESIGN IN PRODUCTION! Type II (seen below) has been machined and tested. Much more compact and lighter than the previous version. 24mm nozzle to nozzle width. No more nut traps, all CNC tapped or thread-milled. Now the head runs the latest Smoothie version without modification (see here for the homing test: youtu.be/uEAuCsUzhdY).
NOTE: ELP camera, vacuum adapters, etc. not included by default.
Mounts on a MGN 12H (long) or MGN 12C (short) rail bearing block for single head installation. You can chain heads together (see images below) using the available Linq plate and you can either use 2x 12C (short) bearing blocks (one on each head) or bridge 2 heads together using a single 12H (long block). Single head requires 3 stepper drivers (so a typical 5 axis control board will work on a machine that uses 1 X motor, and 1 Y motor), or a total of 8 stepper drivers for a dual head setup that uses 1 X and 1 Y motor (2x 4 axis control boards).
All mechanical parts are the same so upgrading from the old style to new style just requires a plate kit!!

Excellent compatible PnP frame design here: https://hackaday.io/project/9319-diy-pick-and-place
NEW ASSEMBLY/ COMMISSIONING GUIDE HERE
This is our dual nozzle pick and place head. NEMA17 Z axis motor, machined rack and pinion design, hollow shaft NEMA8 part rotation motors. This works perfectly with our high precision Juki Nozzle holders (See them here). See our other PnP accessories here.

If you order them with our Juki Nozzle holders, I will also fully test them and set the nozzle holders to the lowest possible run-out configuration and ensure run-out is within our specified range. We also mark the set with the TIR indicated in mm, guaranteed to be 0.03mm or less.

I could also probably do custom backplates for people looking to put this on a machine that doesn't have a 12mm linear rail on the X axis. The kit will not have the 3D printed parts included by default (NEMA 8 vacuum gaskets and the camera mount) but I can look at making those available for those who are interested.
Specs:
- designed to mount to a standard 12mm linear rail (HIWIN with LONG block for example: MGN12H, Short block MGN12C).
Check out the head mounting drawing below for more details.
- 5mm hollow shaft for nozzle holder mounting.
- Each nozzle can drop down approxmately 22.5mm from neutral.
- Homing is accomplished using an inductive sensor. The kits have been supplied with a new 5v tolerant sensor for a couple of months but as of 2018-09-05 they are confirmed working on the built in homing switch terminals on the smoothie board. On the test board the voltage was 4.7v and it worked normally so no more voltage issues!
- Easy to modify the mounting plate for other systems (like openbuilds C beam, etc.)

Here is a video demonstrating the homing behaviour (ensures that the which ever nozzle is lower after power up will always move up, to avoid risk of collision with whatever is under the head as Z homes before X and Y):
