Use our in-house AOI (AUTOMATIC OPTICAL INSPECTION) AND X-RAY INSPECTION EQUIPMENT PROGRAMMING SERVICE to convert your CAD or GERBER files and we return to you finished AOI or X-RAY program files in as little as 24 hours. Some projects require multiple PCB's, restrictions may apply. Program most popular AOI and X-RAY Equipment such as Yes Tech, Orbotech, Agilent 5DX, Omron, Quad, Photon Dynamics, Camtek, etc. Contact Unisoft for details or fill in the "AOI/XRAY PROGRAMMING SERVICE FORM" below.

CAD and Bill of Materials (BOM) files are translated into real reference designators, X/Y body centers, Theta rotation, part numbers, etc. This data is then used by Process Engineers to program their AOI and X-RAY INSPECTION Equipment. Any CAD to AOI or only Gerber to AOI.

Maybe you already have manufacturing software that you use to program production floor equipment, etc. but you need a way to convert newer or non supported cad file formats to this software. Unisoft can import virtually any CAD format and export a standard file for import to your existing manufacturing software. Output formats include GENCAD, Fabmaster, ipcd356, ipc-2581, ipc2581, Mentor Graphics, PADS .ASC, etc. For example Unisoft can import virtually any CAD file format and export to Teradyne/Genrad D2B Alchemist or Fabmaster Test Expert software. We can sell you this software for your use or can perform a translation service for you and return the correct files to you. Some restrictions may apply.

Do you have special problems such as gerber translation? For example: You do not have the native CAD files for your project. You only have the Gerber Files and a BOM (Bill Of Materials). You need to program your AOI and you do not know where to turn then our software can do it for you! It takes your gerber files and BOM and creates the exact Reference Designators, X/Y, and Part Number data you need to program your project. Of course the software also imports virtually all standard native CAD file types too!

If you are at that point a possible next step in your evaluation is an online demonstration. For questions or to schedule a demonstration, call us (enable JavaScript for our phone number) or email us ().

IMPORTING CAD FILES: A list and samples of the CAD file formats Unisoft imports are on our Importing CAD Files page.
