I have run 0.031 boards. One of the things you may want to look at is the speed of the oven. With 14 zones you may be going to slow with the board which could be the reason your boards are starting to bow. You might also think about adding stiffners

We have 1/2 dozens 0.031 pcbs that bow after going through the oven. We are looking for a solution to this problem to prevent bowing of the pcbs. As a result of the bowing, the pcbs, on occasion get caught in the oven, and more often have transfer

We agree with all of the previous comments, and would add the following: Warpage is generally caused by excess moisture in the raw boards. Have you tried baking the boards prior to assembly? We had this issue on a simple 4-layer board, and found t

Ed: It might be possible, never tried tho, but if an engineer wandered in, talking about it ... Printing: Makes me pretty nervous, because punched boards are not planar, don�t stay planar, and are inconsistently not planar. If I could work-out th

We recently have received a lot of warped (bowed and/or twisted behond IPC 600 specs.) bare boards (some our fabricator's fault, some ours by design) and I can't help but figure that long term reliability will suffer when building product with them.

Ed, I workded with punch and replace fabs yeeeeears ago, major pain! Dave's right, planarity is the biggest problem, then inconsistent retention in the panel, then ANY retention in the panel. If you can get paste on them, you may be able to place
