A Web-based Virtual Reality Simulation of Mounting Machine

Mounting machine is the most critical equipment in the SMT (Surface Mounted Technology), the production efficiency of which affects the entire assembly line's productivity dramatically, and can be the bottleneck of the assembly line if poorly designed. In order to enhance the VM(Virtual Manufacturing) of mounting simulation for PCB(Printed Circuit Board) circuit modular, the virtual reality simulation of web-based mounting machine is written in Java Applet as controlling core and VRML(Virtual Reality Modeling Language) scenes as 3D displaying platform. This system is data driven and manufacturing oriented. System can dynamically generate 3D static mounting scene and interactively observe the dynamic process from all angles. Simulation results prove that the system has a high fidelity which brings good practical significance to manufacturing analysis and optimization for process design. It offers a new thought for establishing a practical PCB circuit modular VM system in
