We build thousands of flex boards in array format. The fiducial quality for both global and local fids give us much trouble and it seems to be inherent of flex PCB mfg. I am trying to write an internal ducument for our PCB fab house to adhere to.

| | Okay here is the deal. I am fairly new to the company here, but one thing I have noticed is that we read way to many fiducials, in my opinon anyway. One for example is this. One assembly was reading 17 fids. Smallest pitch was .25mil I say y

Hello all, at the present I have some product onto which I glue backside components. I dispense a pattern of "witness" to use as a visual cue as to the quality of the dispensed glue dots. A problem which I have encountered is that operators will oft

Quad4C's have their moments. If the price is right and you are aware of the machines limitations then you will be satisfied. The placement rate is slow, 1.2 seconds/chip. Don't buy any Quad if it has the CyberOptics Laser unit, the Quadalign unit is

| We are using .040" diameter fiducials (global and local) on our boards. They are solder covered and HASL. I get batches of boards where the p&p vision system has trouble reading the fiducial. The fiducial looks dark on the screen. The board ven

The circle is not a "good" fiducial. The gradually change in contrast of a circle versus a cross makes it difficult to find the center of the fiducial. By pre-tinning the fiducials there will be a convex mirror surface distorting the edges even more.

Programming is different, yes, but so is the terminology. ///with machine vision you have parameters that select what is good and what is bad, and you have parameters that help make bad look worse and good look better making the difference between w

You don't say what kind of machine you are using but several just use the edge of fiducials to determine area (and centers). If you are teaching in binary and have the ability to select a decision level (threshold), use a level half way between loss

We have resorted to adding a ring (or donut) around our 0.040" round fiducials. The donut acts as a "plating thief" to minimize the thickness of the copper plating (in the case of HASL finish) and of the solder plating (in the case of solder-plated
