Strip Feeder for 24 mm Embossed Tapes by lendres

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

These are a simple strip feeder meant to take advantage of the arrayed nature of the "BlindsFeeder" built into OpenPnP. BlindsFeeders can be generated by using the included OpenSCAD files, however, there was an issue with feeders with deep pockets. The fiducials were no longer in the focus plane of the camera. The BlindsFeeder author (Mark Makr) said he will update the OpenSCAD files when he gets a chance. In the meantime, you can use these as an alternative. See the Google Group discussion for details:https://groups.google.com/g/openpnp/c/pSogHQXVR4c
The STLs here worked for my machine but might not for yours, so the sources files are included. Also included in the source file zip is a set of PDFs so they can be reproduced in another modeling application if desired.
These STLs have been generated with the following dimensions altered to allow for 3D printing (reference the drawings for dimension locations):
Sprocket diameter: 0.70 mm
Wall thickness: 0.85 mm
