Placement on 180 degrees rotated (Mirrored) panel on Universal Instrument equipment | 11 September, 2018

Hello everyone,

I was wondering, we use Universal Instrument equipment (GC60's, AX30-L, GC120). We have constant problems with panels that are 180 degrees rotated. We can fix placement on one side (0 degrees or 180 degrees) but the other side HAVE to have problems with missplace or theta shift. We don't have any CAD software, so all programming is made within Excel and DPO. Is there anyone else who has this type of problem, or have some tips how to solve this problem?

Best Regards Ivan

This is usually a standard part of a machines toolkit if you have paid for the (probably optional) software packages that handle data input. However you've already said you are using Excel, so why not flip the data in there, its not a huge mathematical problem after all.

To answer your question directly Boardwidth - X = newX for a flipped board. Plus adjustments for your offset if your board is not perfectly symetrical

You can try my program PCBSynergy which generates many formats from CAD files, or PCBCSV files. If you wish to add Universal Instruments (GC60's, AX30-L, GC120) files to the program just send me a copy of the formatted file plus the CAD or PCBCSV that generated the file and I will add them to the program.

Machines don't have any kinda of local correction on specific offset on PCB, you can only edit main board and it will reflect on all other offsets in panel. For some high running projects we merged 2 pick and places into one (for example 0 degree rotated and 180) and like that we have the ability to edit both normal and rotated pcb. I just think thats not the ways it's meant to be used, that's the reason why I ask for assistance. Best Regards
