brdMaker doing nozzle feeding. Doing visual location of component in between. Some parts were popped already when removing the tape manually. Parts are 0402 and pops out VERY easy.

Feeder tray is one of those cheap ones meant for manual placing. There is plenty of play in every direction. After placing correct height used strip under the real strip, strip does not play anymore in height direction. Lets see if the side play is still too much.

Tape peeling and handling the used strip needs now some fresh ideas.
