Export The Cad data from the Pick & place it will be centroid data if you can.

While it might not be what you prefer to do, but rather than converting directly from Mydata to Panasonic, can you simply use a Gerber converter to produce centroid information and then use the centroids to program your Panasonic machine? Search the

Hi, Basically the software extracts Centroid data from the Gerber automatically. We wish to export the centroid data in different pick and place machine formats so that this file can be imported in the machine directly. To be able to do so I need sa

You're in the wrong file. You're looking at solder pad data. You need to look at centroid data. Look here: http://i.screamingcircuits.com/docs/understanding-the-centroid-file-r2-2.pdf We have no relationship, nor receive benefit from the company r

Depends on the programming that needs to be done - there is free software available such as GERBV - 'http://gerbv.geda-project.org/' but not that easy to use. For comparing BOM's there is some free software called MELD - http://meldmerge.org/ that's

I can second the Unisoft Pronto software. We were in the same boat where getting centroid data files to program our AOI system was killing us. The Pronto software takes gerber files and BOMs and marries them into usable centroid data files for AOI

We designed a fairly simple software called PROCAM to do exactly that! It takes 2 Gerber layers - Paste/Mask layer and the Silk layer. Within minutes you can extract all the centroids. PROCAM has a standard excel output with all the centroids, fiduci

Hello, We offer a product called - PROCAM for this very application. PROCAM uses Gerber (274X) as input and extracts the centroid data for each component automatically. It exports the centroid to standard excel format (including board outline, circu

So I actually tried that method as well. Took the P&P info that was provided to us in Mils, put together an excel formula sheet which converted all X,Y to mm which the aoi uses. Then came to the horrible conclusion that there was something in the cad

Steve, When you say "CAD input", do you mean centroid data ( xy locations ) or generic cad info straight from the layout software. ( so far the machines I have been looking at use centroid) What are your rates of "false failures" and how do your o
