==== PCB Manufacturing Workflow ====

  - Schematic capture
  - PCB layout
  - Buy bare PCBs and stencil (or DIY stencil with laser cutter - paper thickness to be checked)
  - Apply solder paste
  - Place parts
  - Reflow PCB
  - Test and programming any programmable parts if applicable

==== Pick and place machine specifications ====
   * 8mm feeders:
   * 12mm feeders:
   * 16mm feeders:
   * 24mm feeders:
   * Maximum work area:
   * PCB mounting: One fixed 3mm post, 3 adjustable 3mm posts and several spacers

==== Components ====
We have a range of components available for use, mostly passive components in 0402 size.

You can of course use your own components. Make sure you buy plenty of excess as a few components will be ejected during the loading of your components and you'll need to sacrifice some components or have leader tape to make the film reach the peelers.

The most popular component values are pre-installed on one side of the machine whilst the other side of the machine is normally left unpopulated for the installation of components specific to the job. If you need to take off one of the popular component reels to get enough feeders for your job, please re-install the popular component reel afterwards.
