Placement on 180 degrees rotated Multi-Panel | 23 October, 2017

Hello,

I have one simple question refere to those who use a bit older Pick and Place machines (like 2005). Do you have a problem with placement on 180 degrees rotated boards on multi-panel? When I say problems, I mean shifted placement on X, Y or Theta.

Best Regards

Normally when you just rotate one of the boards (circuit) by 180 deg, you'll find all the placements shifted by complete board length in X direction. This is because the board is rotated 180 deg with the board origin as the pivot. So you'll need to add/subtract the board X in the step-and-repeat X coordinate.

The real question is: Where is your rotation point?

It’s the board origin ( not the panel origin).
