Can you help?,

We are a High Mix (120 SMD/Mixed  and 80 LTH), Low Volume board shop that's
using 2 standard PCB widths to reduce our machine set-up requirements.  We
are investigating our panelization techniques and would like to here from
some others and see how they have approached the problem.

Do other Med - High Mix companies try to standardize on panel width?

What panel width(s) do you use as standard(s)?

Do other companies build loose PCB's to because of the associated problems
with board cost / yield when panelization?

If building with loose boards, how do you tool the line (assuming an inline
automated handling system from machine to machine)?

Can anyone share their experiences in building single or 2-up panels with a
breakaway Tab / Rail that contains all of the tooling features (holes)
needed for automated handling?
