End-to-End Printed-Circuit Board Assembly Design Using Altium Designer and Solid Works Systems

Assembly and Printed Circuit Board (pcb) Package

Product/process Design in Mass Placement Printed Circuit Board Assembly *

We describe a set of models that are used to manage the product and process design in a mass placement printed circuit board (PCB) assembly cell. Our models can be divided into two categories. First, we characterize the cell design problem and develop models to design an efficient assembly cell. Second, we present models for optimizing the different operational aspects of the assembly cell. The...

Optimizing Printed Circuit Board Assembly during the Design Process

This paper investigates the incorporation of optimization techniques early in the design process for the manufacturing process of printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. PCB design is a long process in which many sequential optimizations are performed with assembly optimization being the last. Since assembly optimization is not performed until the PCB design is completed it tends to be sub-optima...

Integer Programming Approach to Printed Circuit Board Assembly Time Optimization

A printed circuit board (PCB) assembly task requires that a set of components be picked from their respective pickup locations and then be placed at their respective placement locations on the card being assembled. A pick-and-place robot is used for automated assembly of PCB’s. The overall assembly time depends on two different decision variables (i) the pickup locations of the components (in g...

Chapter 6 Printed Circuit Board Design

From the CAD system we get the schematic, assembly drawings and other documentation, data for photoor laser plotter to manufacture photographic films for the PWB production, data for the printing mask for solder resist and solder paste printing, data for numeric drilling and milling machines, placement information for pick and place machines, data for test fixtures and the testing machine, etc....
