I've been watching some videos on YouTube that are very interesting:

and in the menu there is one called
CNC Taig mill solder paste dispenser
I'm very interested in doing something like this with my mill but I
don't know very much about the pneumatics involved. They seem to be
using ordinary syringes as the tool head for picking up and placing the
parts. They are also using a syringe filled with solder paste for
dispensing. They must be using an air pump that can be both a vacuum
pump and compressor.
Can anyone direct me to a site where I can learn something about the
pneumatics involved? When I google "pneumatics" I get a gazillion hits.
I don't know where to start. I also would like to know what kind of air
pump to look for.
Thanks,
Mark
