Capp System Based On Component Technology Research And Development

With the informatization of manufacturing industry becoming more and more deepened and perfect, new requirements are put forward for the modern Computer Aided process Planning (CAPP) system. On the basis of analyzing these requirements, this paper points out that the CAPP systems being used nowadays are insufficient in the characteristics of distributing, reconstructuring and flexibility; then a solution of developing a new CAPP system based on Component Object Model/Distributed Component Object Model (COM/DCOM) is researched.Firstly, this paper analyses the architecture of the component-based CAPP system, and a tool-components library is constructed with various tool-components. Secondly, this paper describes in detail the process information model and database design of the system. Finally, researches are made, with some examples, for the development techniques of process card customizing component and process planning editing component, and some technology and methods in designing process card customizing component are discussed.
