[0002] The Chinese patent application publication number is CN 109862703 A, and the application publication date is June 7, 2019. It discloses a positioning method for the production of mixed-pressed boards, which includes the following steps: S1: cutting; S2: internal drilling, designing a mother-and-daughter board positioning hole program, drilling a first positioning hole group in the daughter board, drilling a second positioning hole group in the mother board, and drilling a third positioning hole group in the PP board through the mother-and-daughter board positioning hole program; S3: internal engraving, producing the inner layer graphics of each of the daughter boards and the mother board and etching the inner layer; S4: pressing, fixing the mother board, each of the daughter boards, and each of the PP boards with pins and placing them in a pressing machine for pressing; S5: removing the pins. Compared with related technologies, the present invention controls the positioning accuracy of the motherboard and the daughterboard, and the alignment accuracy of the motherboard and the daughterboard positioning holes, ensuring that the alignment accuracy error of the daughterboard and the motherboard after lamination is less than or equal to 3.6 mil, and the alignment accuracy error between the daughterboards is less than or equal to 3.6 mil, thereby improving the alignment accuracy of the motherboard and the daughterboard in the mixed press board.
