Aegis Industrial Softwares CircuitCAM can import a gerber file, and allow you to establish a pick and place program from it. It can also take a scanned image of the actual board to do this. It's a moderately painful process; but it is doable. Circ

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

You can obtain centroid data from raw Gerber files or CAD data and merge with the bill of materials using the Unisoft software http://www.unisoft-cim.com/gerber_connection.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0xMbGowdpY . for over 30 years Unis

Once having those centroid-data using a spreadsheet to convert them to what ever I needed worked fine for me in many cases over years. It just needs a little brainwork and a good knowledge of machine configuration. CAM-software might do the job as we

Mydata users, is there a way to use Microsoft Excel to create pick and place programs? I have my centroid data with the following: 1st column: Reference designator 2nd column: part number 3rd colum: x 4th column:Y 5th column: theta Now,using Excel

Brick (if that is your real name), Placement machines use centroid data to place parts. Generally this is derived from the "copper" that is etched on the board. Thus why we use the fiducials for alaignment. During board manufacturing, holes are d

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

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

Hi, I don't know how many boards you do a month but something I have used for up to 10 jobs a day here is a free tool: http://www.kondner.com/files/bbsetup_Feb_2010.zip I think it is better than Aegis but then I wrote it. :-) This is a BIG too

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
