Abstract :
In this paper a novel concept to increase the output of a component Pick and Place machine is described. A component shuttle that carries components is used to reduce the distance from pick to place location and hence travel time is reduced. First design considerations and specifications are discussed. A prototype was built and test results will be discussed.
