Small Parts Picker

I’ve been thinking about a small parts picker (vacuum tweezers, etc.) for a while now but never really found anything I wanted to spend money on. After the recent flood of posts lately regarding pick & places and a Hack-a-Day project that was featured last week, I finally got the inspiration to build something. Nothing really new here technology wise except that I did it for half the price of others and made it out of hardwood. Enjoy!

Thanks, Justin.

no luck on picking up that MCU huh?

No. Definitely need a little more suction for something that size and maybe more of a rubber tip. My goal was to have something that would pick up the really small parts. It does that quite nicely.
