Robert,
I think I see an advantage to what you are describing though. You
are planning on making circuit boards in quanities greater than one
or two, not just one-offs.
If that is the case, then making special carriers (I think you are
calling them Chariots), would make good sense. You could
standardize the carrier board to one specific size. This would make
for very consistant locating in the printer.
If you make that carrier plate with removable pins, you could build
it so that you could use one carrier plate and by re-arranging the
pins, have it adapt to all your PCBs. You could also very easily
design it with a center mark and a straight edge as a stop for the
method Stefan is referring to and have the best of both systems all
in one Chariot.
