Flexible Manufacturing Technology

Flexible Manufacturing Technology-about Flexible Manufacturing Technology:

Introduction of flexible manufacturing technologies:

Of the manufacturing system consists of the following components:

1, the processing subsystem, which is the basic manufacturing unit of FMS by the CNC machine, FMC and tools, generally CNC machine tools required to install an automatic pallet changer (APC).

2, material handling subsystem, including automated warehouse, central tool library, no transport car, conveyor and handling robots. Automated warehouse, including warehouse and warehouse plane. Automatic handling of materials that no one can use the car transport, handling robots or conveyors. No one can rail transport car, you can not track. Handling robot can automatically be on the cutting operation of the turning centers of FMS is often suspended by the robot as a material handling tool. For one-way flow of logistics FMS, can be used as material handling conveyor systems. Pallet and the accompanying table systems, transmission parts for clamping and positioning of the carrier.

3, the operation control subsystem, which receives the main computer from the factory or workshop instruction and monitoring the implementation of the FMS to achieve higher cell layer (plant or other) and lower (station level) and internal communications to pass, for each standard manufacturing unit of CNC machine tools or exercise control over the processing of fixtures and tools such as centralized management and control, coordination between the various control actions. In addition, the subsystem must achieve unit level troubleshooting information flow and processing, real-time dynamic monitoring of system status changes.

4, the tool subsystem, involving tool ordering, planning, preparation, storage and management. Including tool room storage equipment, instrument on the knife, tool handling devices, cutting tools and tool assembly device control and management computer subsystems.

5, the quality inspection and control subsystem, on-line and off-line quality inspection and monitoring. Generally include coordinate measuring machines, measuring robots.
