xcopy is probably the cheapest way, although it's a manual operation. We just used a batch (.bat) file called "backup" that ran xcopy on our pcb file directories and dumped the copies to a second hard drive on the same pc. If you can't install seco

Hi, Basically the software extracts Centroid data from the Gerber automatically. We wish to export the centroid data in different pick and place machine formats so that this file can be imported in the machine directly. To be able to do so I need sa

Hi Mike, Yes you're right! That's why I normally ask for multiple sample files so as get as much information as possible. Your remark about the optimization software is correct. THE product that we are developing will NOT optimize/auto sequence the

Hi chas, Should you still be in the market for "thru hole to smt conversion" services we are doing this sort of design all the time even converting a supplied stuffed board into gerber files for manufacturing with a parts list and all assembly files

You're in the wrong file. You're looking at solder pad data. You need to look at centroid data. Look here: http://i.screamingcircuits.com/docs/understanding-the-centroid-file-r2-2.pdf We have no relationship, nor receive benefit from the company r

Hello, We developed a small software tool - PROCAM which imports Gerber data and allows the user to automatically convert pads to components and then outputs directly a VIOS file for use in Topaz or any other GemLine machine. If you need more inform

Do you have cal. fixture(s)? If not, one 1/2 baked way to get yourself closer quickly is to go into your programs and write down your x/y offsets that you've gained during vision offsets while in production. Compare them - hopefully they are very s

Tom, V3.78 is truely a bad version and does not include GLOAD. Files taken from the machine with V3.93 can stumble, but can be read... so I would recommend burning V3.93 EEPROMs. Only do this if both machines have Vision and DC Servo Motors present.

Have you got some modern software to load the unit. My program PCB Synergy can do some of the Panasonic formats but not this one. It takes less than a day to write if you have some files for me to reverse engineer and the file you read it from. Any
