Abstract: Summary Component placement is one of the most time-consuming operations in printed circuit board (PCB) assembly and dominates the cycle time of any PCB assembly line. In our study, we focus on collect-and-place machines which first collect a number of electronic components from the component magazine and then place them one-by-one onto the PCB. With this type of machinery two problems arise, i.e. generating placement tours and determining the placement sequence within each tour. To solve these problems, an effecient clustering algorithm to create placement tours and two modified nearest neighbor algorithms (MNNHs) to determine the placement sequence are proposed. The objective is to minimise the assembly cycle time per board. Numerical experiments show that high-quality solutions are obtained within very short CPU time.
