This section introduces a photo and drawings to explain the P&P mechanism section, which is different from the Bingo Machine.

- Aluminum materials are frequently used for the P&P unit components because their weight needs to be reduced.This unit is manufactured by using A5052.The hand part is made of plastic.
- For the linear actuator, we adopted the pneumatic pico table (Misumi MPPT16-30-RS) for its lightweight and compact properties.
- The component (chuck plate: see photo) used to mount the chuck unit is assembled onto the pico table.
- A pneumatic type is also adopted for the chuck unit, and plastic chuck fingers are assembled onto it.
