It is possible to work out the max. bow and twist of an individual circuit
within a panel (as supplied from a vendor) using trigonometry since the bow of
the individual board is a chord on the circumference of the main panel. It's
useful when designing SMT leads to attach at the sides of a board.

But how does one measure bow and twist of an individual board in a panel?
Aren't I really concerned with the bow or twist of the entire panel since
that is what is going through the assembly line?

Apply the specification to the individual circuit boards.

My question is "Considering an SMT board in panel format, is the figure of
0.75%
for bow and twist a measure of the complete multiple up SMT panel or is it
a
measure of the single circuit boad within the panel?
Brian Gaynor
Methods for measuring Bow and Twist are described in IPC-TM-650 2.4.22 and
can be found in the JSTD-001C. You are esentially correct, without going
into details. However, the IPC-A-610C performance requirement states,
"Consider "Form Fit, and Function" and product reliability. The Defect
Condition for all product classes is reached when bow and twist causes
damage during assembly or end use.
Indeed, .75% may be too much.

-----Original Message-----
What is the meaning .75% of maximum bow and twist allowed for SMT? Is it 7.5
mil per 1"? To me it is too much unless I misunderstood it.
Can someone clarify it?
