CAM350XL
ECO Automation
As if getting the correct information from
Engineering to Manufacturing wasn’t daunting enough, Engineering
changes after product release create new dynamics into the
process that can increase the complexity in manufacturing such
as:
- Differences between one revision and the next
- What part of the documents have changed to support those revisions
- How are these changes depicted in the provided Engineering outputs
The CAM350XL suite addresses these issues
in a number of ways. First, revisions can be compared
graphically to determine differences between two design database
revisions; a database and it’s corresponding Gerber or ODB++
data, two revisions of the same Gerber/ODB++ files, two
revisions of Drill/mill files or any combination. These
differences are identified graphically with a corresponding
report file. In addition, this report file can be cross-probed
back to the original CAD system if needed.
CAM350 XL also tracks changes to the PCB
documentation. Upon completion of a documentation package, users
“Sign-off” a drawing set. This “sign-off" procedure, locks the
drawing package graphically and prompts a user to increment the
drawing revision prior to implementing a release. Users can then
display graphically both drawing revisions using a color code to
determine affected areas of a drawing.
