Summary

A Pick and Place (PNP) Machine moves in 3D space and uses an end-effector to grasp and release tiny components.

Conventionally, a vacuum pump and solenoid-powered air ejector are used. (explore possibility of just using solenoid-powered air plunger)

Pressure sensors may be used to ensure proper grip and release processes.
