Gerber standard has been around for long time as a fabrication data model for PCB makers, but not very useful for assemblers as no centroid data is actually present in the data. Also netlists are no supported and have to be calcualated with software

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, 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

As with most Aois centroid data is very time saving when your pcb has 20 or more components. This of course can be variable with the quality of the data and your ability to modify it to suit your needs. Omron systems can scan your pcb and merge the

It has been some time since I programmed a mirtec machine, but I think the technique would be to break the component into different banks of leads with unique locations. U25_Top, U25_Right, U25_LEft, etc... Use the centroid location to check presence

Hi Bros! I got a problem about import centroid data to a job in fuji flexa! As you know , in cad data we already have the demension of the panel. But when i import i try too much time but i can't not import to job that demension therefore i have to p

Are you sure you mean pick and place files? Or does the manufacturer need centroid data to make their own pick and place files? Or they might even be able to use ascii CAD data to generate pick and place files. Look for an export function. Probably

A former associate was quite pleased with product called ScanCad. If you e-mail me here at SMTnet, I'll get you in touch with him. I believe you could scan a bare pcb fab and extract centroids. Mark
