Hi All, I am sending some boards to the Assembly House for population and for this I wanna acquaint myself with the operation of common Pick & Place Machines such as how they pick the part from the reel, how they place the component( with respect to the component's centroid or its reference position....) and what type of Manufacturing file is required by the assembly house. Does someone know of the informative link providing basic as well as advanced informaton about the Pick & Place Machines ?
