Opulo LumenPnP & PandaPlacer thoughts

Ғылым және технология

My thoughts after owning a Opulo LumenPnP and PandaPlacer A1. These are my own comments. If you disagree strongly, you'd better have bought a LamenPnP - because I did.

    Hey Nick, I'm sorry you didn't have a great time with the machine. Thank you for your honest opinion. It's feedback like yours that helped us greatly improve the design over the past two years since your version. Linear rails greatly improved rigidity (although your X gantry looks incredibly loose, tightening the rollers should fix that), we've done tons of OpenPnP config adjustments (many because of you specifically!), and an improved camera QC process. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and helping make the Lumen better as a result.

    Yes, however there was no realistic upgrade path or assistance to help Opulo early adopters to migrate as you learned. Josef Prusa mastered that trick. The LumenPnP never made a single board, despite hours of attempts, which stings. Service and assistance was difficult - I related my bottom camera replacement story already. Basically, I never felt Opulo's love despite joining the family. The PandaPlacer was populating 0603s two days after it arrived, and is now placing 0402s consistently. It is also 1/3 the cost. No, I'm not a shill. I paid full price for their products and have no hard or soft comp from PP. I'm just very satisfied with their product.

    Hey thanks for sharing your experience on the PNPs. The video ends abruptly... was that intentional?

    No. I have a better one. I wanted to get this out ASAP. I'm away for the week.

    Out of curiosity do you know if the panda placer handles 0201 components? Even if it isn't with the servo based auto feeders.

    @@TalpaDK I haven't tried 0201. You would need a smaller nozzle, which I have on order currently.

    It should. I'd recommend getting a smaller nozzle. There are CN020 nozzles you can buy that should fit the end or a CN030. The cameras might be something you'd like upgraded too. I do find that my 0402 components do place with a little bit of variability. I might just need to better tram my machine though.
