Jack,
Chuckling, both! I'm saddled with the "system", but want to find a better way (Oh ya, the industry standard).
I "get it", but my thoughts (based upon my 40 years of experience and the info of all my knowledgeable friends on Technet) are not always accepted by those making the rules.
What you and others have provide is going to be used to attempt to show them the light.
Wish me luck.
Phil

Subject: Re: [TN] singulation or depanelization of circuit boards
It seems like your question contains two different preferences
1) "we insist on supplying the bare boards" (which means you force your supplier to live with whatever panel/pallette design decisions you've made)
2) "like to be able to send gerbers... receive perfect product" (which allows them some flexibility in adapting your design to their process parameters)
so, which is it?
If you chose the latter in the past, and your supplier's inexperience caused some "learning curve" waste or yield problems, you shouldn't have to pay or care about that, and they should be pro-active about fine-tuning it (especially since you have given them the freedom to palletize the way they want it).
Regardless, They should still be shipping you perfect product. That's MY opinion, anyway.
onward thru the fog,
Jack

Part of the problem is we insist on supplying the bare boards due to previous issues with past CMs. Some CMs destroyed boards that were V-grooved, some can't make the mouse bites work. I'm looking for guidance on solving this.
