Flexible Reconfiguration and Maintenance through Mechatronic Modules in Manufacturing Systems
Due to decreasing product life cycles, modern production facilities require rapid adaptation to new requirements. In addition, easier maintainability is called for in order to achieve a higher availability. This can be accomplished by means of modular, reconfigurable machines and facilities. For this purpose, machine modules with new system boundaries have to be designed as mechatronic and self...
متن کاملIntegrated management systems: An agile manufacturing enabler
Research has shown that organisations are moving towards agile manufacturing in response to a rapidly changing business environment. Agility is the competence of an organisation to respond to unpredictable business forces. This requires that an organisation develop dynamic management systems that are able to support continuous change. This paper examines systems thinking and proposes a holistic...
متن کاملA Kinematic - Coupling - Based Adaptive Fixture for High Precision Positioning Applications in Flexible Manufacturing Systems
The means to achieve micron level accuracy and repeatability with detachable fixtures will be an enabling technology in future manufacturing processes. Given the many sources of time variable errors in fixture alignment (i.e. thermal, load, vibration), the integration of actuators and sensors within fixtures will be necessary to achieve real-time error compensation. This thesis examines the fun...
متن کاملFlexible Manufacturing Systems and Quantitative Anlysis of Flexible Manufacturing Systems
A flexible manufacturing system is a high automated GT machine cell, consisting of a group of processing workstations (usually CNC machine tools), interconnected by an automated material handling and storage system, and controlled by a distributed computer system. The reason the FMS is called flexible is that it is capable of processing a variety of diffrent part styles simultaneously at the va...
متن کاملFlexible Manufacturing Systems [F.M.S]
One of the most revolutionary concepts of Machining Processes to emerge in the last two decades has been the concept of Flexible Manufacturing System (F.M.S.). It is a concept of machining where a set of machine tools can be used to perform a wide range of machining operations to produce a variety of products. This dynamic nature of the machine tools can be achieved by developing a beautiful am...
