                     SELECTIVE SOLDERING MACHINE PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

 


ProntoSELECTIVE-SOLDERING is used by electronic manufacturers to quickly program their Selective Soldering machines.   ProntoSELECTIVE-SOLDERING helps program most popular Selective Soldering machines such as ACE Production Technologies, RPS Automation, Vitronics Soltec, APS NOVASTAR, Pillarhouse Soldering Systems, etc.  ProntoSELECTIVE-SOLDERING  quickly converts your CAD or GERBER files to Selective Soldering machine program files.  Some of the features are:

               - Creates optimized fluxing and soldering path routines.
               - Collision avoidance - lowering and raising the head to avoid components, etc.
               - Keep-out areas.
               - Handles panelized PC Boards.
               - Nozzle selection information.
 

ProntoSELECTIVE-SOLDERING also creates process sheets for assembly aids and to document your assembly process and produce kitting labels. Additionally ProntoSELECTIVE-SOLDERING provides extremely fast PC Board first article inspection and general inspection. Instantly receive a report containing device and package type counts with quotation and cost estimations.  Also as a customer you are allowed to distribute the Unisoft Free PC Board Viewer Software 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). 

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 Selective Soldering 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 optimized fluxing and soldering path routines for your Selective Soldering equipment.  Of course the software also imports virtually all standard native CAD file types too!

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.
 

PC Board: G23452 Rev X1
Date: 5-22-08
Estimated base build price total per board = $245.34

SMT 2 pins 0402 package type and smaller: .040 inch and smaller distance between pin 1 & 2.

    Top -           25 = total device count, 50 = total pin count
    Bottom -      10 = total device count, 20 = total pin count
    Part #'s -      6 = total part numbers
    Base price:  $53.50 = ( 0.10 * device count ) + ( 100/12 * part #'s )


SMT (fine pitch) 8 pins and greater and 30 mils or less pin spacing.

    Top -            8 = total device count, 480 = total pin count
    Bottom -       0 = total device count, 0 = total pin count
    BGA's -        2 included in above count.
    Part #'s -      4 = total part numbers
    Base price:  $34.85 = ( 0.12 * device count ) + ( 100/12 * part #'s ) + ( 0.14 * BGA )

 

 

 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.

                                                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.

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. 

 

 

As a bonus the output created is compatible with our ProntoVIEW-MARKUP software and all other UniSOFT FACTORY modules. With VIEW-MARKUP you can display the PC Board assembly, create process assembly instruction documents and actively search components, pins, etc.  Click here for more VIEW-MARKUP information     Call (203) 913-0782 for details.
