We're working on bringing more and more of our SMT programming offline and the latest things are rotations and package vs. land verification. Is there software out there that will allow me to import a XY data file (Pick and place centroid data) into

In old days when Zevatech rebadged JUKI machines their was a dos based program that generated JUKI format files from ASCII Centroid data....(would have to premerge with BOM etc) it also could export from JUKI formats to ASCII. SO like others I think

Fifth, if an individual component is off, but all others are on, * Go back to the CAD file and find out why the centroid is not correct, and fix it there * Check the feeder calibration, In short, you should never "tweak" your pick and place machin

Rob, I have done it different ways. For the centroid you can do offline CircuitCAM or Valor or even pure Excell. I have used even pick and place machines files to extract data for AOI/SPI programming. These locations and coordinates are already there

And for the purpose of completeness you can also use: GC-Prevue Pro Fab3000 GerberGrab VisualPlace The last two are free but the best method of all is to tell whoever made the gerbers to generate the Centroid file too. There is literally no excus

Vicki, Ask your CAD guys to give you the centroid X-Y data with reference designators in ASCII format. Then import that file into Excel. You can then change the fields and data into the format you need. Make sure you left justify the columns. Af

Hi, We already export in plain ASCII format with the PCB dimensions, coordinates of all 4 corners with respect to the origin, circuit repeat offsets, and Centroid data with RefDes, X, Y, R, Part No. and Package information. However many customers ha

Can you massage the data manually? Extract the centroid data (file) from your P&P and either in notepad or excel perform the scrub then repaste to match the proper lines/columns in the csv file? Aside from gerber translation for new XY or identifyi

Need some help, i'm just new with design and I need to know what software is out there that can answer all my question: able to generate/create correct stencil aperture; Can modify/ edit or redesign the main file(ODB++, Gerber, etc); Can generate cen

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
