Abstract :
The application of computer aided tools in process planning and their integration with CAD systems and manufacturing equipment improves the efficiency in electronic production. The authors present a computer aided process planning system which integrated the functionality for the entire fabrication and assembly chain of printed circuit boards. This tool enables the optimization, simulation, NC-programming and documentation for the following process steps: photo plot, drilling and insertion. The modules for the Automated Generating and Simulation of Insertion Sequences (AGASIS) are discussed
