OpenPnP Automatic Feeder Kit (LumenPnP Compatible) | XAutoLab
OpenPnP Automatic Feeder Kit (LumenPnP Compatible) | XAutoLab
Plug In. Mount. Place. — No Setup Required.
This OpenPnP-compatible electric feeder is based on the open-source LumenPnP feeder design, fully assembled, firmware-flashed, and calibrated by our team before shipping. Every unit is tested on a real machine to ensure it works reliably right out of the box.
Getting an open-source feeder to run reliably takes more than just following the build guide — component tolerances, firmware tuning, and mechanical calibration all need to be dialed in carefully. We've done that work for you, so you can focus on your PCB assembly instead of debugging your feeder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this feeder compatible with LumenPnP machines?
Yes. This feeder is based on the open-source LumenPnP feeder design and is fully compatible with LumenPnP pick and place machines running OpenPnP software.
Does it work with other OpenPnP machines (not just LumenPnP)?
Yes, as long as your machine supports the standard OpenPnP feeder protocol. We recommend checking your machine's feeder slot specifications before ordering.
What tape widths does this feeder support?
This feeder supports standard 8mm/12mm/16mm SMT component tape, which covers the vast majority of 0402, 0603, 0805, and similar passive components.
Do I need to configure anything before using it?
No. The feeder ships fully assembled with firmware pre-flashed and calibrated. Simply mount it to your machine's feeder rail and configure the slot in OpenPnP as you would any standard feeder.
Do you offer bulk pricing?
Yes. For orders of multiple feeders, please contact us directly for volume pricing.
