Thanks a lot flipit, I am not directly involved in this "problem" but is my friend that have his CM rejecting PCBs because it says the "+" mark (spokes lengths) are out of tolerances. It seams CM bonder's require tolerance +/- 0,05(? not sure). I d

"IPC-2221 - Generic Standard On Printed Board Design" talks to fiducials. Anther take on fiducials says they shall meet the following requirements. * Make fiducials 1 - 1.5 mm diameter circle. * Cover fiducials with tin. * Keep solder mask opening at

We are currently using circle, cross and double-cross(#) fiducial patterns with SiPlace equipment. Most of the problems seem to occur when, in the case of a HASL fiducial mark, a PCB is topside reflowed, goes away for thru-hole and comes back for bot

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

To see if the MV will recognize the marks, in the binary mode, when setting threshold (binary level), raise up the level until the edge of the mark starts to degrade. Write down the number. Lower the level until the fiducial starts to "bloom". Wri

Hi Paul M, There are no silly questions but silly answers.. and here is maybe a few if I understand you correctly: If you consider place anything less than a 1.27mm (50mil) pitch component down or a chip less than a 1210, hey it maybe don't even work

We don't use flex pcbs but have the same issue here. Most of our pcbs are HASL finish. I have looked at silver and gold immersion and both look really good under my color camera on my AOI. However, gold is more pricey. There is no additional cost

G'day Marina, Only YM/CSM seies feeders will fit these machines. Feeders were generally prefixed as Y8, Y12 = mechanical advance 8mm, 12mm. There may be some Y16 in existence but I doubt it. HA12, HA16 = air activated 12mm, 16mm. The HA12 could take
