One answer I recently heard on this from an SMT assembly machine
supplier was that two local fiducials can actually make theta
location of the device worse. The reasoning was that the
distance between the two local fiducials is very small. The
error in theta location due to the camera resolution was higher
than the error in theta you get going off the widely spaced
global fiducials. Their take was that you use the board global
fiducials for theta location of fine pitch devices and a single
local fiducial for x,y correction of the device. Localised x,y
drift of the board location was much more likely than localised
theta skew. In addition the extra time needed to locate a second
local fiducial would make a serious impact on high speed placement
throughputs.
I have no direct experience of this myself and I have not
done the calculations on theta error, but it makes some sense and
might be worth considering.
