From: Scott Westheimer Date: 5/13/97 I have just recently been put in charge of routing and blanking and I am encountering several issues. Do most of you out there let/have operators that change the compensations? Do you have to change them frequently and over and over again on the same P/N's? Is there software that can help with fabrication? The reasons for my questions is that we have arrays on panels that on one side of the panels is fine, but on the other end we start cutting into the fingers. We also have arrays with 3 boards and on the outside cut the board is 0.020" to wide and the 2 internal boards they are 0.018" to short. Most of the problems seem to be that when we move away from on edge of the panel during routing that the dimensions of the routed boards and arrays worsen. It seem that this has to be compensation because material does not move that symmetrical. Any help would be appreciated. *************************************************************************** * TechNet mail list is provided as a service by IPC using SmartList v3.05 * *************************************************************************** * To subscribe/unsubscribe send a message <to: [log in to unmask]> * * with <subject: subscribe/unsubscribe> and no text in the body. * *************************************************************************** * If you are having a problem with the IPC TechNet forum please contact * * Dmitriy Sklyar at 847-509-9700 ext. 311 or email at [log in to unmask] * ***************************************************************************
