Rob, I have done it different ways. For the centroid you can do offline CircuitCAM or Valor or even pure Excell. I have used even pick and place machines files to extract data for AOI/SPI programming. These locations and coordinates are already there

We are considering a tabletop AOI primarily for rework purposes. In 95% of the cases we would NOT have centroid data NOR Gerbers, The area we would inspect would be in and around the BGA, QFN or LGA being replaced. In addition we would want o inspe

We decided to use F4G over flexa. Flexa sounds overly complicated for us. All we want to do is pop gerber and centroid data. We have very few boards to load in. My new issue is F4G is 16 bit and trying to find an old windows 2000 machine that wor

And for the purpose of completeness you can also use: GC-Prevue Pro Fab3000 GerberGrab VisualPlace The last two are free but the best method of all is to tell whoever made the gerbers to generate the Centroid file too. There is literally no excus

If that is what you use it for, go back to the engineer/client who isn't providing you with XYR (aka "Centroid") data as part of the standard datapack and give them a slapping. The only reason you should ever need to generate this yourself is if ther

For basic task like merging BOM with centroid file I use SMT-Maestro or my own tool that does the same thing. As with RobD above this gets your data into a fairly standard consistent format from where I would hope your Juki tools can take over. To cr

Hi There are a couple of options that you have: 1) have you tried to open the file using note pad, is it an ascii text format? 2)if it is a ascii file then you can edit the file by just leaving the centroid information. 3)OR call Fuji America at 847.

Vicki, Ask your CAD guys to give you the centroid X-Y data with reference designators in ASCII format. Then import that file into Excel. You can then change the fields and data into the format you need. Make sure you left justify the columns. Af

I am very familiar with AutoProgram and understand the default import formats for the software. AutoProgram wants a centroid file containing part number, ref des., X, Y, and theta. AutoProgram will not directly import an ASCII cad file. However, Ci
