Im trying to get the XY data to program the SMT machines. since i dont have the file, im trying to convert it from the gerber drawing. the closest one to represent the component placement is the solder pad. ive tried using linkcad to convert it to XY

Yes, u're right... U can do with Flexprogram; this is the dos based program that convert a zevatech file in a txt file or viceversa. You simple convert your PM file as txt and reconvert as FM740 format (g3g). After conversion u have to complete compo

Doug, It always seems easier to fix one or two problems by eye at the time. The real problem comes when the customer wants the same board run again later. You're okay if you saved the corrected placement routine, but if you end up moving the job t

Has anyone had success with either datamyte or unisoft software? I have looked at both and have a list of pro's and con's for both. I'm wondering if these are worthier persuing or if there is something better. We are looking to track defects througho

We're working on bringing more and more of our SMT programming offline and the latest things are rotations and package vs. land verification. Is there software out there that will allow me to import a XY data file (Pick and place centroid data) into

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.

Smart Sonic has an entry level component to our StencilScan AOI system called the Assembly Module GT. The Assembly Module GT is low cost and will get the job done. Plus, the Assembly Module GT can be upgraded easily to the other Assembly Module pro

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

If you want to go down this path there is a piece of free software from a dutch programmer called Visualplace. It is available here. http://www.compuphase.com/visualplace/visualplace_en.htm If you want to work from CAD files there s my sofware call

Gerber in general is not best data set for assembly, alot of processing has to be done, manually or via software tools, all with their nice features, but as you state there is no actual datum XY , pin 1 , rotation references thus has to be 'generated
