Optimized Manufacturing Processes in Multimodel PCB Assembly (long version)

Abstract:

The efficiency of PCB assembly production depends strongly on the planning and control of the production process. The present day component placement machines operate automatically as soon as the necessary settings of the component feeders, loading of control programs and conveyor belt modifications have been carried out manually. Depending on the PCB batch sizes and the number of different PCB types, manual or automatic operations should be given the biggest weight while optimizing the production process. A production planning and machine
control technique is proposed for component placement operations in the
present paper. The technique is an intermediate between job grouping and unique setup techniques taking into the consideration the benefits of both techniques.
