Hi, I am having a problem with component position on a flex circuit. It is an eight up panel. The flex circuit is mounted on to a piece of fr4 with presure sensitive adhiesive, this is done out of house. The problem is, I will locate the parts on one board, and when I go to the next board the parts are slightly off position. They may be slightly different for all eight boards. Is this a problem with flex circuits, and what can be done to fix it?

Sounds like your using global fids, if there are marks on each board use local fids and that should help.

Yes it is a problem with nearly all flex's, & Doug's way is also the way we do it.

I agree with the local fids concept. This is usually a problem since the flex will most likely not have fids. However if your components are 50-mil pitch and 1206 or larger, you could use tooling holes to align the flex circuits when they are attached to the carrier.

I have been using local fids, and the machine comes up with board stretch or shrink errors on some boards.

Increase search box size for fids if you can.

If your having placement problems are you having printing alignment problems?
