Hi, From our experience, Gerber files are accompanied by IPC type files. These files usually have extensions: IPC, NET, 356. We have developed products that are designed to help in programming part of the SMT machine, based on these files beyond sta

If you want to go down this path there is a piece of free software from a dutch programmer called Visualplace. It is available here. http://www.compuphase.com/visualplace/visualplace_en.htm If you want to work from CAD files there s my sofware call

As mentioned the ProntoGERBER-CONNECTION software from Unisoft ( http://www.unisoft-cim.com/gerber_connection.htm) does the Gerber to intelligent shapes (ref des, x/y center, rotation, p/n, etc.) function for over 25 years. If you wish I'm availab

Gerber in general is not best data set for assembly, alot of processing has to be done, manually or via software tools, all with their nice features, but as you state there is no actual datum XY , pin 1 , rotation references thus has to be 'generated

Does anyone know if there is a shareware for freeware program that will convert gerber data to Centroid Data?

Report->Centroid will create centroids for you if the project is �assembled� correctly. BR, Pavel

Hello there; Please pls try & contact the graphicode company and ask for GC-place demonstration program Disk. Using this program U can generate the XY centroids using Centroids Data extraction command . Hope this help.

We do not have capabilities with our current PCB layout software to generate a pick and place file and/or centroid data. Consequently, we are teaching all centroids at the machine. Are there any software tools or utilities that can take a basic ger

Also take a look at vplan from Mentor graphics(Valor) this has very powerful CAD/CAM to centroid capability...can generate Centroid data from Gerber - creates packages , polarities and assigns Refdes with easy to use tool...
