I have never heard of using a corner of a trace before. How interesting. However, the Universal GSM only gives me the standard shapes of fiducials. (round, square, diamond, cross etc.) Thank you for replying. M.L. Feather

You can go into the vision diagnostics menu and create custom fiducial shapes. This is taught in the advanced programming school. I have done this in class but never used it since.

Hello everybody. I can't get black fiducials when laser-cutting a SMT stencil. They are grey or beige but never black. Can someone help me? Thanks!

I think stencil manufacturers back fill half etched fiducials with black epoxy or something. I know I've had some worn and that's what I've done for my vision systems to be happy again.

OLD DEK manuals actually have a procedure for fiducial fill, and they used to sell a kit (for way too much $$$$); since usually pretty well covered by stencil vendors probably not on the list any more. www.dekhead.com

Yes, I read about filling the fiducials with balck epoxy, but it was said that it doesn't last for long. Thank you for your reply.

Basically, what is the main issue which requires you to use black fiducials? Stencil mark recognition issues? Solder printer machines have ability to adjust the brightness or contrast.
