| The CAPP is shortened form of computer aided process planning. The process planning is the first stage of preparation for manufacturing technical document. And it is the bridge between product design and product manufacturing . the process is the base of froch design , manufacturing , the mothod of maching and maching route. Its function is flowing: organizing puduce, controlling quality, enhancing productivity, reduing cost, reduing produce periods, improving work conditions, etc.so, the process planning is the core part of produce. The traditional process planning is outdate because of the problems of standardization,productivity, unitive management and maintenance. Nowadays, the needs of society tend to diversification with the development of new process and technology in the fields of mechanical manufacturing. We are fored to reduce update period for the furious competition in the market. The number of corporation that produce many breed with small bath increased. The system of manufacturing is change its produce mode from the rigid mode(high efficiency and large produce mode) to the flexible mode (high efficiency and many breeds with small bath ). To reach the goal above mentioned ,we shoud use computer technology at the whole course including product plan, design,process planning, manufacturing and management. By all appearances , the traditional method of process planning by handwore can 't meet the requirement of development. The system of CAPP can not only make decision scientificly according to the experence knowledge of technologist and process data, but also help people design a proper process planning. It make it possible that integrate the CAD,CAM,MIS,etc. furthmoe ,the data stored in the computer can be used interativly, which enhance the efficiency of process design.The automobile absorber CAPP system adopt half-creation mode. It can create maching craftwork and assemble craftwork automaticly. In the automobile absorber CAPP system, people don't need much interference. It standard the process design, enhancing efficiency, making the technologist have more time to reseach and develop the new products. These advantage have significance for our country developing automobile absorber independently and changing the condition that china in the field of automobil absorber heavly depen on other countries. |
