| | I've just come back from Nepcon West and I'm just as confused about AOI as when I left. Is anyone out there really happy with their equipment and getting the results they expected? I would like to know about programming time and equipment reliabi

I had someone suggest that they weren't really necessary as long as your process is good. Is this just a way to help you keep an eye on your process? I was thinking, as we set up our line, our money would be more well spent with controlling the pro

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

Get a book on effective complaining. Gerbers is not a good way to program. Matching up the designators is but one headache. At the very least try and get centroid data. But try for ascii cad files. Are there any programs that generate gerbers but ca

I am able to create a single board program using gerber and centroid, and teaching footprints. I can then assign 2 global fids(a third never seems to display in Ceditor), and export my pad file. I then open it in ceditor and export the job file. Load

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

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
