HI there,
I am about to look into reviewing some software that takes the step &
repeated panelised Gerber data of my boards
and converts it into the information that the pick & place machine uses
for placement.

The P&P machine that we have is a QUAD1000 and the data is in a GC
CWK/GWK format file, however I can get it
exported to extended Gerber if needed.

I shall be looking at GC-Place & would appreciate any comments upon it
(by private email if your not keen on it).
I would like to know of any other software that can do this too.

I wonder if you guys (& gals) can let me know your experiences with this
type of software & it effects
on set-up times, placement accuracy etc.

Many thanks - Matt
