Help everyone!!!! This is a basic question, but I can't seem to find the paperwork to back this up. In the past, every PCB that I have ever dealt with has had the lead tooling hole centered at 5mm from the front edge and 5mm from the side and this has worked with all machines that required tooling pins. Is this an IPC or a SMEMA standard and/or where is this documented. We have just been told that a piece of equipment that we are thinking of purchasing requires the tooling hole a minimum of 5.5mm from the edge. This would obviously goof up things with existing machines since the tooling hole location is different. Hope this makes sense, feel free to call if you have questions.
