Hello, I have programmed SMT placement for Mydata My9 machines. I have ported programs between Mydata-to-Mydata machines. Also from Mydata to AOI machine for SMT inspection. Is there a way to port a placement program from Mydata to Panasonic MSH2

Stephen, When I port from Mydata to AOI machine, I use an Excel macro that lays out data into 5 fields/columns per line as: X Y angle P/N Reference Designator Is this the same for Panasonic? I'll also ask Panasonic operator if this is what he cou

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

You will have to make new programs for the Panasonic. (afaik) But you can use the Mydata programs as centroid data for the Panapro. Load it into Excell using space as the delimiter. Copy column B onto column A. cell A1, move cells up. Sort by column

Panapro can be set up for the centroid data in any order. You won't be able to load the centroid data straight into the machine though. At one time I used Unicam to program a mydata. Then we got a panasonic line. The panarep said we could configure

Has anybody heard of the CAM Translator from SMS International? It has support to output to Panasert from different input machines which includes Mydata. http://www.smsinternational.com/handlers/getfile.cfm/4,254,html

There is software available like valors new vPlan, single point solution, can support Mydata and Panasonic machines - can convert programs in both directions. ALso has all the Gerber, EDA import, BOM import merge - compare, plus many other advanced f

I have a feeling that that software would cost more than his machines are worth. My9, MSH2, and MPA3's are not exactly cutting edge anymore.

The .cmp won't help you. I don't know what the .gen is. The mydata files I used for centroid are .pcb. The following is a sample I"ve changed some chars. F1 AAAAAAA_BOT F2 customer info F21 All_Tools F3 -xxxxxxx yyyyyy rnd1.2mm F3 -xxxxx yyyy rnd1.

No, I don't have Panapro at all. Some Mydata files I've exported end in: *.cmp & *.gen Files saved on floppy from Panasonic MSH II end in: *.MNG, *.POS, *.SET Panasonic program filenames come out as: CF000000.POS CF000001.POS ... Sample quote of
