Pat,
That concept works well. The term "Pink Pearl" was coined as the
processes since one would purchase a number of those little pink
erasers and go scrub fiducials. This was effective for HASL or other
tin-lead finished boards.Gold or OSP finsihes generally do not require
this operation.
An alternative used was to place lighting under the board and change
the PCB layout by removing all metallization and resist around and
under the fiducial. The "backlighting" provides a silhouette,
eliminating any variations due to reflection. This is a major task,
especially for various board sizes.
Regards,
Allen Hertz

>From the What Will They Think Of Next (WWTTON) dept:
I have found that if we use an eraser on a pencil to "polish" the fiducials
on the board, I get better placement accuracy.
Have any of you found this to be the case? What do you use for a tool?
