COTSPnP
Build in 'Everything Else' published by JoeH, May 1, 2015.
The COTSPnP pick-and-place machine (PnP) is used to place surface-mount devices (SMDs) onto a printed circuit board and was designed and built exclusively from off-the-shelf (COTS) components, predominantly sourced from OpenBuilds and Actobotics. Its intended use is prototyping and not high rate, high volume production and is capable of precisely placing parts as small as 0402 capacitors and resistors but more importantly, can precisely place components with lead spacing as small a 0.4mm.

Special Notes
Works with cut tape parts (not tape and reel), since most prototypers don't need or want to buy whole reels of parts or pay for small quantities of parts to be placed on reels.

Reason for this Build
This was built to solve the desire to be able build prototype circuit cards using the very newest, smallest SMT parts without having to a) place parts by hand or b) pay large prototyping fees.
