Anyone using Circuit Cam? We too are looking for a gerber/centroid converter. I used the demo of GraphiCode GC-PowerPlace and it works, but seems cumbersome. It's also difficult to substantiate the large capital cost of these programs without being v

We use CircuitCam for MyData off-line machine programming, it's wonderful and I don't know how we did without it. But, it's pricey.

Depending on what X-Y centroid / CAD data you need, there are different SW I've used to do the job. If you need PCB gerber "artwork" (rounds, rectangles, lines, squares,...geometric figures), you can use GraphicCode GC-Place & such - load the gerber

While it might not be what you prefer to do, but rather than converting directly from Mydata to Panasonic, can you simply use a Gerber converter to produce centroid information and then use the centroids to program your Panasonic machine? Search the

Hi, From our experience, Gerber files are accompanied by IPC type files. These files usually have extensions: IPC, NET, 356. We have developed products that are designed to help in programming part of the SMT machine, based on these files beyond sta

At my company we have to capture centroid data from gerber information on almost a daily basis, so tinkering and toying with quicker and easier methods of getting the job done are fairly common place with us. As stated by Richard Larue UniSofts cad

Panapro can be set up for the centroid data in any order. You won't be able to load the centroid data straight into the machine though. At one time I used Unicam to program a mydata. Then we got a panasonic line. The panarep said we could configure

You are making sense. And no you can't go from centroid data to a program at the machine automatically. You can type in the numbers if you want but the machine won't turn centroid into a placement program. Don't you have PanaPro? I thought there w

You will have to make new programs for the Panasonic. (afaik) But you can use the Mydata programs as centroid data for the Panapro. Load it into Excell using space as the delimiter. Copy column B onto column A. cell A1, move cells up. Sort by column
