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

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

Dear Gabe, Once you have the mount data in the program, you can move the camera automatically to the location by tracing each location one by one. If I remember it correctly it is done by having the location highlighted in the program and then by pr

Doug, It always seems easier to fix one or two problems by eye at the time. The real problem comes when the customer wants the same board run again later. You're okay if you saved the corrected placement routine, but if you end up moving the job t

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

Aegis Industrial Softwares CircuitCAM can import a gerber file, and allow you to establish a pick and place program from it. It can also take a scanned image of the actual board to do this. It's a moderately painful process; but it is doable. Circ

Hi All! Thinking about purchasing 2nd user Panasonic p&p machines (CM88s-M1 or MSR series...) but I didn�t know anything about it�s programming. So, I wonder do I have to use any off-line software by anyway or it is possible just to load centroid dat
