OFF-LINE
EDITOR AND CAD DATAFILE CONVERTER FOR PICK & PLACE
Increase your throughput by
changing board data on a P.C. whilst your Pick & Place machine is running
the previous batch.
Use CAD data to increase accuracy and thereby reduce placement errors & dry
joints.
BENEFITS OF THIS OFF-LINE EDITING SYSTEM ARE:-
¨ Easy to use
with mouse operation.
¨ Component reference names, values, part numbers
etc are used.
¨ Component records are automatically generated
from placement data.
¨ Interfaces with CAD Data File Converter package.
¨ Co-ordinates can be input using inches,
centimetres or machine steps.
¨ Libraries are available for component data.
¨ Machine idle-time during programming is
reduced by up to 80%
¨ Component order is optimised
for placement speed.
¨ Error report file produced giving full
details of any errors.
¨ Co-ordinate accuracy is increased
reducing dry joints later.
¨ Print-outs are available for all data.
¨ A tutorial is available to get you
started.
¨ Windows and non-Windows version supplied.

Learning to use the
Package
A new operator will find the
operation of the Off-Line Editor very quick to pick up. With all the commands
on buttons or drop down menus you will probably find that getting familiar with
the package takes less time than getting used to using the mouse. All the data
pages operate in a similar fashion with a selection box at the bottom and
editing boxes at the top.
Error Messages
When compiling the HEX code for
down-loading, the package will give useful error messages, for example not
"fiducial data out of range" but actually
telling you which fiducial, what value and what the
maximum range is. When down-loading to the pick and place machine the package
will again give error messages which are as helpful as possible if it cannot
download for any reason. The printouts will help when characterising, checking
the correct feeders are fitted, reducing the chances of any "batch"
faults.
CAD Data File Converter
Used in
conjunction with the Off-Line Editor this will save additional valuable
man-hours. The CAD
Data File Converter removes the need for the step of typing in the CAD data
from a printout as it converts the data directly from a disk. It does not use
the source CAD file directly, as it takes the information from a separate text
file produced by the CAD system instead. Because this will be less sensitive
data you may find that it is more readily obtainable from your designs
department. The CAD Data File Converter can also extract data such as stock
codes from a MRP file, or conversely, produce a component listing for your MRP
system. This will normally be set up by us prior to despatch to meet your
initial needs. Please ask for more information if you are interested in this
option.
Terms & Conditions
The package includes a Users Manual, security device and all necessary support
by telephone and fax. Delivery will normally be within two weeks.
Payment to
be within 30 days of invoice date.
Title to the software licence and media remains with us until payment has been
made in full. The licence permits use of the package on only one personal
computer at any given time.
