Spindle bank, pick-and-place machine and method of assembly

A method of assembly comprising:

• providing a pick-and-place machine having a movement axis, wherein the pick-and-place machine includes a first electrical distribution system;
• providing a spindle bank for the pick-and-place machine, wherein the spindle bank includes a second electrical distribution system:
• a base including a plurality of mount locations;
• and
• a bearing system attachable to the movement axis of the pick-and-place machine such that the spindle bank is movable along the movement axis;
• and
• mounting, on each of the plurality of mount locations, one or more mountable spindle modules each including at least one pick-and-place spindle and nozzle;
• distributing electrical power, by the first electrical distribution system of the pick-and-place machine, to the spindle bank using one or more electrical ports connecting the first electrical system of the pick-and-place machine to the spindle bank to provide electrical power to the spindle bank;
• after mounting the one or more mountable spindle modules, distributing the electrical power, by the second electrical distribution system to each of the one or more mountable spindle modules, wherein the second electrical distribution system includes a set of electrical connectors, each connector configured to connect to electrical distribution ports of one of the one or more mountable spindle modules after mounting;
• and
• after mounting the one or more mountable spindle modules, assembling, by the one or more mountable spindle modules, at least one product.
