Pick and Place Machine Design
In a team of 4, we designed and modeled a pick and place machine for an educational setting. The design utilizes an automated vacuum head that can be automatically changed to support a larger variety of electronic components. My role primarily involved designing the reel system, the vacuum head system, and the automated head changer.

Key Features
- Automated Vacuum Head: The vacuum head can be automatically changed to support a wide variety of electronic components.
- Reel System: Designed a system to efficiently handle and feed electronic components to the pick and place machine.
- Automated Head Changer: Developed a mechanism that automatically changes the vacuum head for different component sizes.
- Educational Application: This system is designed to be used in an educational setting, improving hands-on learning experiences.
Applications and Benefits
The pick and place machine is designed to automate the process of placing components on a PCB. By incorporating an automated vacuum head changer, it allows for flexibility in handling a wide variety of components, making it ideal for educational settings where different sizes and types of components are used. This design also provides a more efficient and repeatable process, enhancing learning and experimentation.
I used SolidWorks to model parts of the assembly. More specifically, the reel systems and the vacuum picker mechanism.
