In most cases PnP files are all that is needed for SMT program generation. BUT, it depends on origin reference of this data as exported to PnP and could be off in X,Y and rotation of image pending when PnP Data is exported. Also Rotation of parts

hi john we have software that we been selling for over 30 years now that programs Pick&Place and AOI machines, etc. from Gerber only data, CAD data or XY rotation files and BOM files. Here are a couple of links: *** ProntoPLACE - Assembly machin

We unfortunately use GERBER data to digitize boards more than any CAD. We are CM and many of our customers do not provide CAD. With some Legacy products, we still use 274-D Gerbers.

What do you want to do with the gerber file? Most gerber outputted data is in ascii and can be read with notepad or any text editor. If you want to view the gerber data there are free viewers on the web ie: gerbv.sourceforge.net Hope this helps.

Hi, Is there any CAD software that helps converting gerber file into cad (text file)? Any input will be great help. Thanks and regards, NTV

We currently have an old CCA assembly that a customer wants us to build but are unable to produce the gerber file or milars that were used to build them the last time. All we have are hard copies of the PWB drawing. Is there anyone out there that can

John, contemporary machines provide their own software for programming - most you can do completely offline. There are several tricks here: 1. Design libraries correctly - you should have polarity convention that matches your P&P and your AOI machi

As everyone else said, if you don't have CAD, it's a pain to digitize the gerbers. So much so that we only did it once when I went to CircuitCam training. After you digitize the gerbers, you have to merge the BOM with it. And you have to tell it p

What about designators? Using gerbers to program a pnp machine was always a last resort to be done only after much complaining and begging for proper CAD data. Back in the day I used UniCAM to program a mydata. After getting it figured out it was eas
