{"product_id":"as2-servo-feeder-4-pack","title":"PikkoBot AS2 Servo Feeder — 4-Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n  A 4-pack of AS2-style servo tape feeders for desktop pick-and-place machines built on the LumenPnP hardware platform, running OpenPnP. Choose the tape width you need, and select the 8 mm Starter Kit if this is your first feeder setup.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Built on the proven 0816-style feeder design and command set, this feeder drops directly onto machines built on the LumenPnP hardware platform without modification — no drilling, no custom brackets, no firmware hacks. The mechanical and electrical upgrades below address the two most common 0816 complaints: parts jumping at the cover-tape peel point, and fiddly tape loading.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The 8 mm feeder is the common starting point for small SMT parts — 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206, and small packages such as SOT-523 — when properly set up and tuned. Wider 12 mm, 16 mm, and 24 mm feeders are available as feeder-only 4-packs for users who already have compatible AS2 feeder electronics.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable
