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

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.
