This paper presents a detailed AMT model composed of various components from multi-domains like mechanical systems (clutch, gear pair, synchronizer, etc.), pneumatic actuator systems (clutch actuation system, gear select actuation system, gear shift actuation system, etc.). The model is implemented using the Modelica modeling language in an objectoriented environment. The Modeling and simulatio...

Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), as a method for the manufacture of advanced ber reinforced composite materials, is attractive because it ooers the possibility of lower manufacturing costs and more complex shapes than traditional methods. A major issue in this new manufacturing process is the elimination of void spaces in the resin ll operation, so that products with high quality are manufactured....

A transient two-dimensional model is developed and numericaUy solved to specifically investigate the effects of CNC motion and workpiece boundary on cutting front mobility and temperature in reactive-gas assisted C01 laser cutting. Co-ordinated motion systems must ramp up and down to their desired speeds, and therefore the initial actuator acceleration is considered for its effect on the cuttin...

New trends and demands of the automotive industry have dramatically influenced the requirements and processes of tool and die manufacturing over the last years and have led to new, serious and often incoherent challenges for the tool and die makers which have to rethink and redefine their concepts for manufacturing, machinery and production management. To assist in establishing advanced process...

Lean 4.0 (L4.0) plays a significant role in reducing waste and enhancing productivity for sustainable manufacturing supply chain Industry (I4.0). L4.0, with its soft hard practices, may be well integrated into I4.0 to enhance readiness. Small medium enterprises (SMEs) are attempting prepare themselves Hence, the present research explores L4.0 terms of practices understand holistic relationship ...

Three approaches to development of new manufacturing systems are discussed. The technology oriented approach is exemplified through Computer-IntegratedManufacturing (CIM). A human oriented approach is also described. The utmost alternative is called Human-Integrated-Manufacturing (HIM). A third, combined, approach is called Computer-Human-Integrated-Manufacturing (CHIM). Swedish manufacturers a...
