==Description==
Pick & Place (Protoplace S) is a semi-automatic pick & place system for the professional assembly of SMT printed circuit board prototypes and small batch projects. It is capable of dispensing solder paste, glues, and adhesives, but we typically use it just for placing minuscule components on fabricated boards.

# Micro-Table
## This clamps PCBs as large as 297mm x 420mm (11.8” x 16.5”). Knobs at the front of the micro-table allow for fine adjustments along the X and Y axes, which are ideal for the placement of complex components.
# Manipulator
## The manipulator is what picks & places components. It is also capable of dispensing solder paste, glues, and adhesives with the dispenser attachment, however, we will not use these features. The manipulator is can reach everywhere on the micro-table that will be needed for projects, including the turntable. The manipulator uses the vacuum and appropriate needle attachment in order to pick & place components.
# Manipulator Knob
## The knob above the box on the manipulator rotates the nozzle; so it rotates components sucked on the knob.
# Turntable
## The turntable is what houses the components used in the project. The turntable can be controlled using the keyboard and LCD display.
# Micro Camera and Monitor
## The micro camera captures the end of the nozzle so that you can view (on the monitor) an accurate representation of where the component will be placed.
