How to Make a Low Cost Vacuum Pickup Tool for SMT Pick and Place 

Great! Could you please specify the model of dc to dc convertor? or amazon link?

putting a larger hole then the largest tip you will use in the side of the seringe will act as relase mecanism then you dont need the foot pedal. Just use your index to plug the hole so vacuum can form and unplug the hole when it is time to release the part.

Look at your video, personally feel that you can further improve, use the solenoid valve, with the electronic pressure gauge to control the start, start the stop button, you can use that kind of electronic switch instead of the pedal, and then install it outside the syringe Can be more convenient

some vacuum station use a small hole in the "pen", so you can use a finger to act like the pedal (cover the hole to pick up, and release the hole to drop the smd part). I think is possible to do the same with the syringe (less components in project).

Great! I like it a lot - have to do one myself. The current limiting is excellent idea how not to break the motor by overheating...

friend, I have a doubt regarding vacuum systems, I want to make one at a low cost but in a certain way, that is, I want to buy the suction cups, the hoses and most importantly a vacuum pump, if I connect the suction cups directly to the vacuum connection of the pump, will it be able to suck the object normally? (Leaving aside the calculations of power, suction force, etc.), what I want to know specifically is if it is enough with only the elements that I mentioned, or is it necessary in the system that I buy solenoid valves and/or ejectors? The latter are used when I have compressed air, but I don't have a system that provides me with compressed air, that's why I bought the vacuum pump. I hope you have made me understand. Thanks

Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to use a momentary switch instead of that pedal.Or steal a pedal from sewing Machine?

Heya. Amazing stuff! Any possibility make xy coordinate inventory machine?

Thanks for sharing - and for providing all the part links!

What is the value for limited current for that pump?

Can we pick book pages through this vacuum pump
