Manufacture User Guides
This section contains the user guides for the following tools: Block JIG Generator, Compare GDSII, Gerber to PCB, Make Board Paneling, Metal Mask Manager, Mounting Data Extractor, Mounting Emulator, Router-Machine JIG Generator, Solder Quantity Calculator, Soldering Pallet, Test Point Location Generator, and Underfill.
Mounting Emulator
Mounting Emulator is a mounter assembly checking toolset based on 3D package part libraries constructed with Unified Part Editor (UPE).
Mounting Emulator
In the SMT process, to place the parts at the correct location and angle through the mounter, it is necessary to enter the part placement coordinates and angle in advance to obtain accurate results.

- Manufacture User Guides
  This section contains the user guides for the following tools: Block JIG Generator, Compare GDSII, Gerber to PCB, Make Board Paneling, Metal Mask Manager, Mounting Data Extractor, Mounting Emulator, Router-Machine JIG Generator, Solder Quantity Calculator, Soldering Pallet, Test Point Location Generator, and Underfill.
  - Block JIG Generator
    Block JIG Generator is used for the purpose of stable supporting the bare PCB and evenly applying lead in the screen printer equipment that prints the solder cream during the SMD process.
  - Compare GDSII
    The Compare GDSII function performs the function of verifying the consistency between the data in the specific layer of PDBB and the GDSII file.
  - Gerber to PCB
    Gerber to PCB is a PCB generator from graphical Gerber or ODB++ file which is non-intelligent data.
  - Make Board Paneling
    Use Make Board Paneling to modify the data designed with a single sub board into an array type to use manufacturing related features, such as Metal Mask Manager, Mounting Emulator, Block JIG Generator, and Router-Machine JIG Generator.
  - Metal Mask Manager
    Metal Mask Manager is a tool that can register standard metal mask database, manage metal mask changing history, and check differences between design and standard metal mask.
  - Mounting Data Extractor
    The PollEx Mounting Data Extractor function extracts components and PCB information for chip mounter from PCB design data. It is included in the PollEx PCB Modeler.
  - Mounting Emulator
    Mounting Emulator is a mounter assembly checking toolset based on 3D package part libraries constructed with Unified Part Editor (UPE).
    - Unified Part Libraries Link
      Before using Mounting Emulator, you need to link 3D package libraries with PCB design.
    - Mounting Emulator
      In the SMT process, to place the parts at the correct location and angle through the mounter, it is necessary to enter the part placement coordinates and angle in advance to obtain accurate results.

Result - Component Matching

Figure 1.

The Component Matching tab displays status of matching part name among PCB design, BOM, and mount data.

Result Table displays result.

Figure 2.

Reference Name: Shows reference name of each part in PCB design.
Compare Result: Shows the compared results with each comment.
- Part Name is different.: Part name is different between PCB design and BOM.
- Reference Name does not exist in BOM.: The reference name which is in mount data but not in BOM.
- Reference Name exists in BOM only.: The reference name which is in BOM but not in mount data.
- Duplicated Reference Name Mount Data.: The reference name is duplicated in mount data.
BOM: Exports part name following in BOM.
Mount Data: Exports part name following in mount data.
Correct All: Corrects mounting coordinate with checking component matching result.
- Part Name is different.: Replaces the part name in mount data to BOM’s one.
- Reference Name does not exist in BOM.: Deletes the part in mount data which does not exist in BOM.
- Reference Name exists in BOM only.: Adds the reference name into mount data.
- Duplicated Reference Name in Mount Data.: Based on PCB Design data, duplicate parts that do not match the part placement layer are deleted from mount data.
