본 논문은 PCB 생산 자동화를 위한 데이터 변환 시스템을 구현한다. CAD로 설계한 데이터는 PCB 생산라인과의 데이터 호환을 이루지 못하기 때문에 데이터 호환을 갖는 자동화 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 PCB 생산 자동화를 위한 PCB 부품 정보를 분석하고 IC 부품 정보를 DB로 구축한다. CAD 설계자의 Human error 검출 알고리즘을 개발하고, PCB 생산 라인에 적합한 데이터로 변환하는 알고리즘을 개발한다. PCB 생산라인의 부품의 정보 추가, 수정하기 위한 데이터 변환 인터페이스를 설계 및 구현한다. 기존의 수작업 공정을 자동화함으로서 처리속도를 대폭 개선하였으며, 신뢰성 있는 칙적화된 데이터로 PCB 생산 자동화에 일조를 할 수 있다.

This paper proposed character recognition method by using DB Matching and Artificial Neural Network at the Gerber files. Gerber files are file for make PCB. But we also use the file to a program of extraction PCB position data. If the Gerber file recognized a character, the extraction PCB position data will be faster and also when the recognition rate is high, it can be possible to automatic extraction. We apply to the construction PCB Gerber file program and Simulation results are presented to verify the usefulness of the method.

This research deals with multiple Gantry-type assembly machines for the optimization of PCB assembly line. The automated assembly machine has 6 nozzles which can linearly move the X axis and the Y axis different from the turret type assembly machine. Each machine is optimized while considering the whole line balancing of three machines in assembly process simultaneously. Simulation models are developed using AutoMod for comparison study with single machine operation cases under various conditions such as types and total number of components to evaluate the proposed method.

Printed circuit board (PCB) assembly line configuration is characterized by very long set-up times and high work in process (WIP) inventory level. The scheduling method can significantly reduce the set-up times and WIP inventory level. Greedy sequence dependent scheduling (GSDS) method is proposed based on the current methods. The proposed method is compared with the current method in terms of three performance measures: line throughput, average WIP inventory level, and implementation complexity.

This paper proposes a new printed circuit board (PCB) assembly planning method for multi-head surface mounters. We present an integer programming formulation for the optimization problem, and propose a heuristic method to solve the large NP-complete problem within a reasonable time. A dynamic programming technique is then applied to the feeder arrangement optimization and placement sequence optimization to reduce the overall assembly time. Comparative simulation results are finally presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

다수 대의 표면실장기를 포함한 PCB조립라인의 생산성 향상을 위한 방법을 제시한다. PCB조립시간의 단축을 위하여 각 실장기 별로 부품공급 피더의 배치 및 실장순서가 최적화 되어야 하며, 표면실장기들의 라인 밸런스를 위하여 부품 할당이 최적화 되어야 한다. 전체의 최적화 문제를 정수계획문제로 수식화하며, 전향경로문제와 후향경로 문제로 분할하여 구성한다. 클러스터링 알고리즘과 branch-and-bound 알고리즘을 사용하여 전향경로문제의 해를 구하며, 할당 알고리즘과 연결 알고리즘을 사용하여 후향경로 문제의 해를 구한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여 제안된 방법의 성능을 평가한다.

We propose an image segmentation method for auto-teaching system of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) assembly inspection machines. The inspection machine acquires images of all components in PCB, and then compares each image with its standard image to find the assembly errors such as misalignment, inverse polarity, and tombstone. The component window that is the area of component to be acquired by camera, is one of the teaching data for operating the inspection machines. To reduce the teaching time of the machine, we newly develop the image processing method to extract the component window automatically from the image of PCB. The proposed method segments the component window by excluding the soldering parts as well as board background. We binarize the input image by use of HSI color model because it is difficult to discriminate the RGB colors between components and backgrounds. The linear combination of the binarized images then enhances the component window from the background. By use of the horizontal and vertical projection of histogram, we finally obtain the component widow. The experimental results are presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

A surface mount device (SMD) assembles electronic components on printed circuit boards (PCB). Since a component assembly process is a bottleneck process in a PCB assembly line, making an efficient SMD plan is critical in increasing the PCB assembly line productivity. Feeder assignment is an important part of the SMD plan optimization. In this paper, we propose a feeder re-assign improvement algorithm for a specific type of SMD machine with a piano type multi-head gantry. Computational results on some real-world benchmark data sets show the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.

The improvement of the production capability of multi PCB assembly line can not be simply done by improving the capacities of each assembly robot cells but must be done by controlling the production line effectively with the line host computer which controls over the whole assembly line. A real time production control, a real time model change and a real time trouble shooting compose the specific concepts of this technique. In this paper, we present and analyze the definition and application method of real time assembly concept. The meaning of real time model change, troubles and error sooting and its algorithm will be introduced. Also, the function of the host computer which is in charge of all of many different tasks mentioned above and the method are presented. The improvement of the productivity is mainly focused on the efficiency of multi-PCB production control. The importance of this aspect is gradually increasing, which we have presented the analysis and the solution.
