Efficient Operation of a Multi-functional Surface Mounting Device

چکیده
We consider the operation of a multi-functional surface mounting device(SMD) which mounts various components provided by diverse types of feeders such as cassette, stick, and tray on a printed circuit board(PCB). The problem is to minimize the time needed to assemble a PCB using the SMD We decompose the problem into two subproblems, which are determining the allocation of component feeders and the mounting sequence of components, respectively. We propose heuristic algorithms to solve the subproblems and discuss the procedure to improve the solution. Computational results on real world problems are presented. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd

متن کاملAn Efficient Planning Algorithm for Multi-head Surface Mounting Machines Using a Genetic Algorithm
In this paper, a genetic algorithm based method is proposed to solve the problem of minimizing the PCB assembly time for multi-head surface mounting machines. By grouping the reels and by clustering the components the multi-head problem is transformed into a single-head one and then the single-head method is simply applied to the multi-head case. To implement the genetic algorithm, a partial li...
