Hello Vahid The most accurate fiducial for you depends somewhat on your board characteristics like contrast, spacing, inner layer features and obstructions. The more important consideration is what does the particular machine like best? The manufac

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.

Hi everyone, here a question for the SMT production engineers... is possible today mount the fine pitch and ultrafine pitch devices (BGA, QFP, CSP), without using the local fiducials, but using the three standard fiducials of row card only? The corre

Fiducial recognition is based on finding the centroid of the gray scale density of the fiducial. Round fiducials are easier for the software to digest in most cases, but its more important what the camera sees. Gray scale or color contrast of the fi

Vahid, What type of error are you talking about? If you mean accuracy I would stick to round fiducials. As far as machines, the only question is about active component placement. For passive components Fuji(CP-series) is the way to go. O

use pads if you suspect thats what the problem is!!!!

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.

M.L. Feather I'm sorry I missed the first part of this discussion. Why are your fids black? Is this something you requested? Is it a board defect that you are trying to "work around"? What is the black material?

Don't have the manual (which is useful!) but suspect thats what the problem is. Anyone know where I could get a manual for an MPM Corporation AP-27 printer, can't find the company's website in Google.
