Concept of process planning

1, computer-aided process planning (CAPP) is a process of inputting the processing requirements, processing conditions and original data of the parts to be processed into a computer, which automatically codes, programs and finally outputs the optimized process specifications.

2. Computer-aided process planning needs engineers with rich production experience to make complex planning with the help of computer graphics, engineering database and expert system. This work can combine computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM).

Development trend:

With the maturity of CAD, CAPP and CAM unit technology, as well as the proposal and development of CIMS and IMS, CAPP is developing towards intelligence, integration and practicality. At present, the hot issues in the research and development of CAPP system are:

1. Generation and acquisition of product information model;

2. Research on CAPP architecture and development of CAPP tool system;

3. CAPP system in concurrent engineering mode:

4. Distributed CAPP special plane system based on distributed artificial intelligence technology;

5. Comprehensive application of artificial neural network technology and expert system in CAPP;

6. Practical enterprise-oriented CAPP system;

7. Integration of 7.CAPP and automatic production scheduling system.
