Greetings Technetters -
One area of curiousity for me (among others) has been who routes finished
circuit board assemblies and who doesn't.  I've decided to conduct an informal
survey via Technet.

I would like to know from whomever cares to participate:

1. Do you do multi-up boards or not?

2. If YES, how do you separate them after assembly:
        Manual - breaking them
        Rolling blade machine (i.e. "pizza cutter")
        Stamp/Punch machine
        Depanel Routing Machine

3. If you are manually breaking them, how are they prepared prior to assembly?
        Scribed via pre-router - full or tab
        Cookie-cutter punch

4. Indicate the nature of your product: Automotive, consumer, medical,
instrumentation, avionics, PCMCIA, computer, communication, etc.....  Also
where your site(s) are located (Asia, NA, SA, Europe)

You can respond via Technet or you can keep your responses anonymous, if you
wish, by responding to my e-mail address at [log in to unmask]  This is for
my information only - it will not be passed on to any salesmen.  I will be
glad to share the results with anyone participating in the survey.

Thank you!
