Do you have
special problems - 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 Automatic Assembly Equipment and you do not know where to
turn. -- Our software can do it for you! The software 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!
IN-HOUSE SERVICE BUREAU - Instead of
purchasing the Unisoft software possibly you would like Unisoft to do
your project for you? We will process your job and return the required
data files to you in as little as 24 hours. Click here to find out more.

UniSOFT ProntoPLACE Placement-PRO software generates the necessary programs for automatic assembly machines in minutes. ProntoPLACE programs popular surface mount (SMT) placement, through-hole (THT) insertion and glue dispensing machines. Universal, Fuji, Mydata, Siemens, Panasonic, Philips, Juki, Contact Systems (CS400, 3, C5 series, etc.), Camelot, Quad assembly and others are supported. ProntoPLACE is a cost effective solution for making your job easier and saving your company money. Programs are generated offline using your Gerber or CAD and BOM data files thus conserving valuable machine time. Placement order and feeder assignments are optimized based on the exact machine type improving overall throughput. Predetermined feeder assignments can be imported, additional feeders are assigned automatically, then feeder setup generated. ProntoPLACE creates assembly documents, work instructions and process aids (Smart Color "see below" automatic assignment of unique colors and patterns to each part number on the assembly). Assign separate colors to components for each assembly step, add text and graphic annotations. Circuit Master ProntoPLACE receives its input by importing virtually any CAD and Bill Of Materials (BOM). Import files from Gerber, Mentor Graphics, PADS, Intergraph, OrCAD, Protel, Accel PCAD, Accel Tango, Allegro, Cadence, Cadnetixs, Cadstar, Computervision, Edif, Verybest, Visula, etc. ProntoVIEW-MARKUP also imports standards such as IPCD356, GENCAD, Fabmaster, etc. All Unisoft software products come with a no risk money back guarantee.
Assembly and Process Sheets
The Unisoft software allows you to quickly create matching assembly lists and assembly
drawing sheets
for each step in the assembly process.
Part numbers are automatically assigned to the assembly step you wish (for
example: Step 1 for Hand Inserts, Step 2 Chip Shooter components, etc). The
part numbers are then automatically uniquely colored. If needed, overlay
annotation notes can be added to each step. Next for each step matching
assembly lists and assembly drawings are created. These drawings can
either be printed or save to a file (PDF Adobe, etc.) or displayed on the
screen.
Click here to
download a sample of process and assembly sheet documentation created by this
software.
Kitting Labels
The Unisoft software allows you to quickly create
Kitting Labels for fast and accurate electronic component kitting. Quickly
select the component part numbers for which you wish kitting labels created.
Each label contains the part number, unique part number color, step number, p/n
description, reference designator, etc. Fast and easy electronic kitting
labels for kitting work orders.
First Article Inspection
Generally First Article Inspection is done on the first PC Boards assembled. When the assembly inspection is satisfactory at that point the PC Board can be built reliably in quantity.
The Unisoft software allows you to BLINK all the components in
each part number. The
person doing the first article inspection would check that
each of those components are correctly
installed. If all where correct then they would click the
DRAW button to color those components to indicate they are correct.
A check mark is placed
next to the part number indicating it has been
completed. The inspector would continue this process for each part number until
all part numbers are colored at which point that would indicate the PC Board was
assembled correctly. At that point the PC Board can be built in quantity.
Quotation and cost estimation
reports
Import your PC Board
into the Unisoft software and you instantly receive a report containing
component counts for top and bottom of the PC Board broken down by SMT, Fine
pitch, BGA’s, Thru-hole, etc. This is a great time saver for Contract and OEM
manufacturer.

Free PC Board Viewer Software
The Unisoft software outputs a single file that is compatible with the royalty free VIEWER software. Customers are licensed to distribute the VIEWER software and your single board file to your production floor, vendors, customers, etc. to aid assembly, 1st article inspection, general inspection, repair/rework, technician debug, for better communications, etc. No need to purchase additional licenses. The free VIEWER assists assembly personnel, technician troubleshooting, repair personnel, enhances communications internally and with customers and outside vendors. Our customers typically put the VIEWER and the board files for each of their PCB assemblies on their network so that it can be accessed by everyone to improve productivity.

Babcock has been serving the Oil, Natural Gas, Waste and Fresh water industries
with process control instruments for over 100 years. Bristol installed two
Mydata pick and place lines. Our goals were many; we needed a software package
that would allow us to do all of our programming of production and prototype
boards and process documentation off line quickly no matter how difficult the
board. We wanted a software package that was easy to understand, yet
was powerful enough to do what we needed. Most of all we wanted a supplier that
was going to be there when we needed them. The UniSOFT FACTORY software
was the answer. Five years and hundreds of programs later the Unisoft FACTORY
software is a proven product. On the average it takes twenty minutes or less to

uation comments:We just completed a board build using the file you converted for me. We actually used the software "live" (versus making hard-copy drawings) since the board had so many item numbers and it worked great. I would go so far as to say it would have been almost impossible without it.
So far this is awesome. Thanks for the quick turnaround... I'm sure I'll spend the day going through the tutorial and instructions. But I'm already impressed. It would have taken me untold hours to get to the point where I had something usable using manual techniques. Using our "live" board makes a great demo!
