SMT-ers I notice that most suppliers provide data that is eye-catching but avoid providing data of significant technical relevance, such as Cp and Cpk. It would perhaps be a wise idea for standards to be formulated in this area. For eg., ma

The only method I would trust measuring the cp or cpk is with an optical coordinate measuring machine used in metrology labs. The machine should have at least ten times better accuracy than the machine to be measured. For a print area of 18"X18" you
