I am looking for advice on sourcing a x,y digitizer to create pick and place files, off-line, rather than programming with the machine. I could use original gerber data or create the placement coordinates with the digitizer. Also, references to equip

Hi I think you already have the answer. It isn't the same as the true comparator of yesteryear, yet YES, some of the assembly machines have visualization post placement, compared to a golden board or dimensional images imported into the software.

Are you sure your custoemr didn't get a little confused with what he saw or was told? When he says optical comparator is he talking about the basic component recognition system? some machines when showing the component (on the CRT) show a template th

Are there any equipment manufacturers that provide this option? I have a potential customer who has stated the other CM's he has looked at has this option on their equipment. I have never heard of an optical comparator built into a pick and place mac

What are some of the Chip-Shooter machines that have this Golden Board comparison? I am aware of a dimensional image overlay but no measurement is performed by the machine to determine accuracy on these systems that I am aware of. -JAX

Michael: DIGITIZING BOARDS Yech!!! ScanCAD 303.986.7707fax7631 makes a Xerox copier-like thing to copy your board. But why not consider: 1 There are service bureaus that will scan and convert your boards. 2 Why don't you get the gerber data fr
