Component-based Distributed Capp System Applications

With the imformatization of manufacturing industry become more and more deepened and perfect, new requirements are put forward for the modern Computer Aided Process Planning system (CAPP). On the basis of analyzing these requirements, this paper presents that the CAPP system being used nowadays are insufficient in the charecteristics of distributing, reconstructuring and flexibility, then a solution, developing a new CAPP system on the basis of Distributed Component Object Model, is argued. And the paper also researches the key support technology, system constructure and corresponding implement methods for this system. Simultaneously, combined with the application of CAPP system for Suzhou Medical Instrument company, researches are made, with detailed examples, for the development courses and implementation techniques of three kinds of COM-based components, GUI based component, data processing based component and result exporting based component, as the application examples of different functions and different implement technologies. These researches can work as the guidance of the full development of COM-based CAPP system .
