Featured Software

ProntoPLACE

UNISOFT

Rich Larue

In minutes Unisoft ProntoPLACE software translates CAD or Gerber and Bill of Materials (BOM) files into real reference designators, X/Y body centers, Theta rotation, part numbers, etc. This data is then used by Process Engineers to program their SMT and Thru-hole Automatic Assembly Equipment.

ProntoPLACE programs popular surface mount (SMT) placement, through-hole (THT) insertion and glue dispensing machines. Universal, Fuji, Mydata, Siemens, Panasonic, Philips, Contact Systems (CS400, 3, C5 series, etc.), Camelot, Quad assembly and others are supported.
