CHAPTER 6
Two case studies are performed to demonstrate the performance of the developed CAPP
system. Since the top plate and window clamp are the most important components of the
lead frame wirebonding clamping assembly and the process planning for these
components are more complex than rest of the components, only case studies for these
components are discussed in this chapter. For each case study, two major areas of the
system, generation of process plan and generation of CNC tool path are discussed with an
example. In the section, generation of process plan, two major steps, preliminary
selection of process plan parameters and the final selection of the parameters by using
optimization technique are also discussed.

this process. Under Machine number 2, cutter number 37 (T37) of Cutter type face mill
(CT01) is selected. Selected cutting conditions for this operation are speed 600 rpm, feed
550 mm/min and depth of cut 0.95 mm.
In operation 4, a step in face 2 is machined by the process of step machining (P05).
Machine number 2 (M02) of machine type CNC milling machine (MY04) is used for the
