Newscale makes some of the lowest cost electric grippers.They also work very well. The Asyril system is pretty expensive but works very well versus a bowl feeder.
quick tip! perimeters are much more effective at increasing strength and stiffness than infill, you can print in 4 or 5 perimeters if you need a really solid part while keeping infill at 30%
I've been curious about how you are registering the blank aluminum you are starting with - I know you have a camera, but is that how it knows where the center of the piece is, or is there another method? How accurately and repeatably does it pickup the part and same for placement on the vacuum base? Thanks!
Beats me why it dont shake while it's dropping of an item. So camera look and find item, but also check next item. And if there is not too good items, shake while it moves the first one.
Very good questions, and very good answers. Bethany was very informative. I learnt a lot from this. Thank you.

the camera counts the pixels from edge to edge and calculates the center, accuracy depends on resolution and image quality
