Assembleon/Philips has their own offline programming software (PPS Gemline) to take you from CAD (they should have a gerber utility) to machine program. A lower cost aproach is something like GC-Preview with the "Plus" option to extract centroids, t

Right now, I am mostly getting .pho (gerber files) and .asc (pads) but i don't have anything to convert it to excel or text files so that Cad2cad can read it. I have camtastic! 2000, but i haven't figured out a way to convert it. I want to able to e

I currently run the HLC software suite with a 750/760 line and another 2060 line. For the 750/760 line I have to stick with the older HLC, version 4.5 I believe, which I actually run inside of a Windows 98 virtual PC using a dongle emulator. The 20

Do you have JUKI 730EPU or 740EPU offline software ? Juki files are binary format , makes hard for any thirdparty cad conversion tools. JUKI HLC can handle these machines but I suspect not supported anymore for your age of machines NO third party s
