Assembleon/Philips has their own offline programming software (PPS Gemline) to take you from CAD (they should have a gerber utility) to machine program. A lower cost aproach is something like GC-Preview with the "Plus" option to extract centroids, t

Hi There are a couple of options that you have: 1) have you tried to open the file using note pad, is it an ascii text format? 2)if it is a ascii file then you can edit the file by just leaving the centroid information. 3)OR call Fuji America at 847.

I am very familiar with AutoProgram and understand the default import formats for the software. AutoProgram wants a centroid file containing part number, ref des., X, Y, and theta. AutoProgram will not directly import an ASCII cad file. However, Ci

Get a book on effective complaining. Gerbers is not a good way to program. Matching up the designators is but one headache. At the very least try and get centroid data. But try for ascii cad files. Are there any programs that generate gerbers but ca

Hi, We're currently developing a software for automatic extraction of CAD (Centroid) data from the Gerber. We're in the final leg of development right now. To make things even simpler for the end user, we're thinking of adding the functionality to

For basic task like merging BOM with centroid file I use SMT-Maestro or my own tool that does the same thing. As with RobD above this gets your data into a fairly standard consistent format from where I would hope your Juki tools can take over. To cr

Mydata has Utility menu to "export" panel, layout, into a file, etc. And we have an Excel macro that converts all the data in this file into rows of records for each components; and save this to MSDOS csv file format giving: X,Y,Z,P/N, reference de

You are making sense. And no you can't go from centroid data to a program at the machine automatically. You can type in the numbers if you want but the machine won't turn centroid into a placement program. Don't you have PanaPro? I thought there w

We are locvated in Peru, Indiana. Generally, we have some sort of CAD Data provided but no way of collecting centroid Data if it is not in the product files. We have had to do some teaching of parts over more than 300 placements in the past. If an
