Fiducials are alignemt marks on PCBs. The standard for these is a 1mm copper circle surrounded by a 2mm soldermask opening. They are used for alignng your PCB via optical detection. For successfull operation there should be at least '''three''', better '''four''' which are places in the corners of your PCB to get the best accuracy for the placement of components.

Pick & Place Machine

Liteplacer Introduction Video

Metalab owns a Pick & Place machine which is mounted in the window aisle of the electronics room in the Whateverlab. This machine can be used to place SMT components on PCBs automatically. You can find a lot of information about the machne on the projects website.
The machine runs via OpenPnP, an Open Source SMT pick and place software.
