The machine that I've worked with (a samsung) accepted space/tab/comma
separated files (and some others too). Obviously those can also be
imported into excel. Unless the parts are created perfectly, and are
coming in the form you expect (reel/tube), there is typically a small
amount of manipulation required (e.g. rotation) which the machine
programmer will do (what helps there is to group all like components
together - which they would do in excel).
