The latest version of Universal’s Dimensions Programming and Optimization (DPO) software includes enhanced support for HSP 4797/4796 machines, as well as CAD import and CAD view capability. DPO now includes full support for HSP4797 component library management, making programming faster and easier, and allowing HSP machines to be quickly programmed to place a greater variety of components. An off-line version is also included. The CAD import capability supports 15 different formats, and the view option allows a user to review an imported CAD drawing and has the capability to display the components of a board in different views. DPO also ships with the Sanyo UCT53/52 simulator and optimizer for HSP machines, which delivers enhanced performance and ensures users automatic reception of software updates as soon as they are released. This version also includes updated simulator support for the GSM platform. DPO provides balancing, optimization, and program generation for SMT assembly lines containing any combination of GSM or HSP, or lines consisting just of a single machine. The software provides one point-data-entry, a common interface across machine types, and a simple and repeatable process to import CAD and bill of material information required to generate production and setup data for an assembly lines.
