Abstract
This paper details a real-life proposal that describes a design of self-contained, integrated manufacture and assembly for pipe valves. It presents a detailed and comprehensive analysis of part design, manufacturing operations, and manufacturing system design. The part design is subjected to a set of DFM/DFA tests and it has been significantly revised and upgraded. These revisions or improvements provide for ease as well as economical manufacture and assembly operations. The paper explores and details the explicit information about the machining and assembly centers as it relates to the operations and equipment utilized. The components and technologies of the proposed manufacturing system design are explained and include: computer hierarchy, clamping fixture, transfer robot, packing robot, conveyer system, AGV system, part tracking, incoming part packaging, buffer stocks, quality control centers, and safety considerations. The proposal has been accepted for implementation. Subsequently, the manufacturing system implementation is presented, a timetable for completion is provided, and future research directions are discussed. Finally, a conclusion and assessment is presented.
