vPlan Studio is another great tool, can generate Fuji basic Programs or fully optimised programs, can convert from basic Centroid/gerber to all major EDA/CAM formats, can merge BOMS/AVLS and report problems and has great rotation correction tools so

We're working on bringing more and more of our SMT programming offline and the latest things are rotations and package vs. land verification. Is there software out there that will allow me to import a XY data file (Pick and place centroid data) into

I have been using Graphicode's GCpowerplace for years and have found it very easy to use. We are a contract manufacturer and I haven't yet run across gerber's that GCpowerplace couldn't read. The centroid extraction is very good and allows you to eas

You will have to make new programs for the Panasonic. (afaik) But you can use the Mydata programs as centroid data for the Panapro. Load it into Excell using space as the delimiter. Copy column B onto column A. cell A1, move cells up. Sort by column

vPlan from Valor also is strong with Mydata, from general validated, scubbed, centroid corrected, rotation corrected outputs (same sort of times as mentioned with Aegis users to full optimistation part data generation on demand....(Aegis can not offe

Hi Mike, Yes you're right! That's why I normally ask for multiple sample files so as get as much information as possible. Your remark about the optimization software is correct. THE product that we are developing will NOT optimize/auto sequence the

We use Aegis Industrial Software's CircuitCAM. It's a powerful tool, and one that we feel is well worth the money. Assembly drawings (and machine programs) can be created from CAD, Gerbers, ASCII Centroid data, or even a digital scan of the board i

In old days when Zevatech rebadged JUKI machines their was a dos based program that generated JUKI format files from ASCII Centroid data....(would have to premerge with BOM etc) it also could export from JUKI formats to ASCII. SO like others I think

Fifth, if an individual component is off, but all others are on, * Go back to the CAD file and find out why the centroid is not correct, and fix it there * Check the feeder calibration, In short, you should never "tweak" your pick and place machin

In my experience the main advantage of the ASCII CAD format is that it combines the centroid data, rotations, and package information for your CAM software (at least it does for what we use) to draw the part shapes into the visual assembly aids. If
