I'm starting to see faducials used more and more on pick and place equipment and this sounds like a good place to use them. Does anyone out there have feeders with faducials on them yet? I'm told that a couple machines are running these to place 04

Thanks for the information. Our company is eventually going to have to use 0201's and I'm thinking of all the possible problems that will be encountered. I'm not sure if it's true for all feeders but I believe they tend to have a small amount of pla
