Also take a look at vplan from Mentor graphics(Valor) this has very powerful CAD/CAM to centroid capability...can generate Centroid data from Gerber - creates packages , polarities and assigns Refdes with easy to use tool...

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

Export The Cad data from the Pick & place it will be centroid data if you can.

Hi, Basically the software extracts Centroid data from the Gerber automatically. We wish to export the centroid data in different pick and place machine formats so that this file can be imported in the machine directly. To be able to do so I need sa

I am with a low volume hi mix CM. We have always taught our pick & place manually on the machine. We now have a newer auto programming machine but for many reasons (not uncommon for CM's) I do not have access to the original cadd data to get the ca

I can second the Unisoft Pronto software. We were in the same boat where getting centroid data files to program our AOI system was killing us. The Pronto software takes gerber files and BOMs and marries them into usable centroid data files for AOI

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
