Load Optimization Scheduling of Chip Mounter Based on Hybrid Adaptive Optimization Algorithm

A chip mounter is the core equipment in the production line of the surface-mount technology, which is responsible for finishing the mount operation. It is the most complex and time-consuming stage in the production process. Therefore, it is of great significance to optimize the load balance and mounting efficiency of the chip mounter and improve the mounting efficiency of the production line. In this study, according to the specific type of chip mounter in the actual production line of a company, a maximum and minimum model is established to minimize the maximum cycle time of the chip mounter in the production line. The production efficiency of the production line can be improved by optimizing the workload scheduling of each chip mounter. On this basis, a hybrid adaptive optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the load scheduling problem of the mounter. The hybrid algorithm is a hybrid of an adaptive genetic algorithm and the improved ant colony algorithm. It combines the advantages of the two algorithms and improves their global search ability and convergence speed. The experimental results show that the proposed hybrid optimization algorithm has a good optimization effect and convergence in the load scheduling problem of chip mounters.
