Hello

I dont work with it but I havve heard good things about ProntoView from UNISOFT have you try it?

cheers!

My program PCBSynergy generates over 80 SMT formats. Unfortunately it only does the Siemens *.NC format at the moment. If you send me a copy of the format and the CAD file or the XYR file in a spreadsheet, which generated it. I can easily add it, especially if it s text based. The Fuji Flexa file was a DBF format, under the skin, anyway send me a copy and I will have a quick look at it. And see if I can recover the data from the file.

It can be found at:

Info on Unisoft that maybe helpful >> Unisoft ProntoPLACE software ( http://www.unisoft-cim.com/pcbplace.htm ) >> ProntoPLACE programs popular surface mount (SMT) placement, through-hole (THT) insertion and glue dispensing machines. Universal, Fuji, Mydata, Siemens, Panasonic, Assembleon/Philips, Contact Systems (CS400, 3, C5 series, etc.), Camelot, Quad assembly and others are supported. ProntoPLACE also creates process sheets and kitting labels for assembly aids to document your assembly process. Quotation and cost estimation report - instantly receive a report containing component counts for top and bottom of the PC Board broken down by SMT, Fine pitch, BGA’s, Thru-hole, etc. Instantly create a component part cost report to quickly estimate the total part cost for the PC Board and breakdown by part number. Export a standardized BOM for Part Sourcing, MRP, ERP, etc. Also create a report of the total solder joint count for Defect Per Million Operations (DPMO) for quality tracking for the PC Board broken down by SMT and Thru Hole and part number. Additionally ProntoPLACE provides extremely fast PC Board first article inspection and general inspection. These features are great time savers for Contract and OEM manufacturers.

Hi,

Maybe we can help you to create a solution to your issue. We, Proventus Technologies, are a software company that is also specialized in SMT software solutions. We have 16 years of experience with small to large companies and we developed tools for fast SMT programming. Also, most other 3th party vendors (that you mention here) have a closed solution that can't help you.

Please, send me an email with information about what you need and we will discuss and try to help you. My email is alexeis@proventustech.com.

Also, you can read about few solutions and tools on our website. Our website is http://www.proventustech.com.

Best Regards, Alexei

Program conversion bewteen the two can be done , with a custom program. Issue is at what value as most simple conversions will be file based - and placement level NC data only.

Part Shapes are where all the work is and if you want to convert part libraries as well then only option is Valor MSS Process Prep , that I am aware can do this. Thay can manage either complete part models for both these systems or as complete as can logically be done barring some blocks in flow from each SMT Vendor... I know FUJI/FLexa is well supported by Valor and Siemens OIB also interface.

ASM side will depend on if you run Siplace Pro or OIB ?
