then would crash everytime. Not to give up, started to experiment with the markers inside the vios text file. The hack was to remove the MARK fields inside the file. After this, saw the component layout in the GUI PCB view with proper references. S

Try to get hold of the Philips/Assembleon Cad2Cad program, it is (or was) free. You can import several (proprietary) file formats and centroid files and export it as VIOS text-files. All you need to do then on the machine is assign the correct compon

Try PCBSynergy. It does VIOS, both versions, can read 10 CAD formats does the Philips CAD2CAD interchange format(*.CAD)doesn't work from Gerber files but does interface to Visualplace which does, which in turn interfaces to PCBSynergy. PCBSynergy is

We designed a fairly simple software called PROCAM to do exactly that! It takes 2 Gerber layers - Paste/Mask layer and the Silk layer. Within minutes you can extract all the centroids. PROCAM has a standard excel output with all the centroids, fiduci

I use Cad2Cad v1.5 with Phillips Topaz. I don't know how much is differs, try this: Converting data to a Philips VIOS Text File format: 1. Open the pick and place data in Excel and format it to look like table 1. ** Make sure you delete the �mm�

Greg, I recently faced this problem at a customer though the machine was Topaz X but the problem was same. So I suggest you first check if the GOOD LED is ON on the Servo card down in the MCX box. Also check the same GOOD LED on the System board in

Hello. I would like to give some advice, I hope it will be useful. I recommend that you use the .ygx file format to work correctly with P-Tool. After all necessary manipulations, convert, if necessary, back to VIOS.

Hi, here's my 2 cents sir: You need.. a) The Gerber Data and the BOM b) Extract the XY CAD from the GERBER and build what they call Centroid Data. Save this in text format. c) Use Cad2Cad to import the centroid data and save it as Philips VIOS txt

I have finally updated my shareware SMT Machine program It reads Protel ( from Autotrax to Altium Designer) and spits out Yamaha/Philips UFOS, VIOS , Mydata, Fuji MCS2 CP642 CP732, Gencad 1.3, Philips, FCM, ACM, FTIP, Essemtec, Panasonic BM221 CM88,
