aj, what do you do if your customers engineers cant be bothered sorting out the CAD data, or if you tell them you need it in a certain format and it just keeps coming in the same way anyway, we can't rely on our customers ( or some of them in partic

Doug, It always seems easier to fix one or two problems by eye at the time. The real problem comes when the customer wants the same board run again later. You're okay if you saved the corrected placement routine, but if you end up moving the job t

Hallo all, I just looking for software (freeware and comercial) to convert Gerber files to CAD data file. Our customer does not have the CAD data for pick and place machines and i have only Gerber. Is there any software which can convert to X,Y, rot

there is manual method of doing it you download GC prevue which you will able to open up the gerber once you have imported your gerber you can select a reference point and press Z on your keyboard and then you can go to each of the component and wr

We are also interested in this, but where can we find the dimensions? We have thouht about some kind of a guideline to simplify the way of how we do the "Matrix tray numbers" input to our fine pitch machine. We do a lot of prototype production and ev

Thanks for the questions/interest Mike. I only work with the data provided by customers myself and do not know a lot about how it is generated, other than a vision inspection machine looks at a completed card and provides the x,y and theta variation
