” is coded language used to format a webpage. But I would like to bring your attention to a unique video by Lindsay Wilson that showcases his CNC Router functioning as a pick and place machine. I thought this deserved its own post.

He mentioned it in a comment on our 2nd article on using CNC Machines as general purpose motion platforms.  Pick and place is commonly used to position components on circuit boards such as Lindsay’s video shows, but there’s no reason it couldn’t be used to position almost anything with the proper manipulator.  He’s showing a vacuum style part grabber, which is common for small PC board components.

Getting more value out of your CNC machine is largely a matter of using your imagination.
