Data Transfer from Lay-out Program to Placement Machine

Flexible placement machines today can import almost any CAD data that a lay-out person produces. The layout person is highly influential in how much time is needed for data conversion, how many corrections are necessary during placement, and how accurate the placement will be. The following guidelines are meant to simplify data transfer, lower manufacturing cost, and recognize the lay-out person as a professional who knows the production process.
