BOM_builder will allow us (and you) to verify that the project is actually ready for the next step...PCB fab and component placement using a pick-n-place machine. The software will generate reports that show how your BillOfMaterials is percieved by our production process (which parts are SMT, Handload in paste, TH, or install after wash!)<br /><br />This software will allow viewing of the external layers (copper, silk, paste) as well as every machine placed component. This includes seeing how the packages and leads fit on the pads, verifying polaritized components, and flagging both custom load status or assembly requirements.<br /><br />If you are doing prototype or low volume and you want the quality and speed of a pick-n-place machine, you need to talk to us. The software we use allows us to do the PnP programming OFF-line and helps us do your jobs with very short turn-times!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5252779028627392941-9115881686922988225?l=aapcb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jim - BMBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329593309417525607noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252779028627392941.post-47710829932580139302009-06-01T12:59:00.000-07:002009-06-25T08:21:20.756-07:00I'm Jim and I'll be happy to spend some time introducting you to our verification software, production process, and (eventually) our sales, production, QA, and management teams. :)<br /><br />I'll be your engineering guide to all things related to getting your prototype assembly built at Advanced Assembly. (AAPCB) This includes everything from gerber types, data formats, and 'how-to' if you should chose to try your hand at using our software. Not to worry though! If you don't have time to bond with yet-another design tool, then our engineering team will take care of turning your data and files (using BOM_builder) into what our production floor needs and provide assembly documentation for your review, feedback, and approval.<br /><br />Uncertain if your CAD software can generate the files/reports we'll need? Just ask, the odds are very good that we've already been successful with other customers using the same software that you use. (Altium, Allegro, P-Cad, Protel, PCB123, Orcad, Utiliboard, PADs, Proteus, P-logic, Graffy, Eagle, and MORE!)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5252779028627392941-4771082993258013930?l=aapcb.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jim - BMBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329593309417525607noreply@blogger.com0
