Don,
Ask you CM or Production Engineer about the Pick n' Place machine
requirements.
The CM we are currently using requires two Fiduicals within 6 inches of
a given part. For a large board (14"x14") there would be more "local"
Fiduicals
than for a small board ( 2"x 2") where one could get away with just
global Fiduicals.
Hope this helps.
