Automatic working machine tools of wheel rims based on reconfiguration

Abstract

The clustering character of product family is analyzed according to the serialization of wheel rims in qualities, ordinance, parameter of minnow net, dimension of pouch hold, group count of pouch hold, etc, as well as the market individuation requirement of wheel rims product. The new concepts of multilevel reconfiguration, infinite reconfi-guration and step reconfiguration have been brought forward. According to the three stage reconfiguration mechanism allocation model block and innovate global structure, the reconfigurable automatic working machine tools based on wheel rim product clustering are developmented successfully by general using reconfigurable strategy of adjustment, replacement, integration and innovation, etc. The reconfigurable wheel rims machine tools have launch and regular production, which can response the turn of the market quickly and economy. The reconfigurable machine tools rebuilt quickly and cost low, which can machine difference qualities and difference ordinance, take full advantage of equipment and model block, respond market demand changes fast and economically. That the kind of machine tool is developed successfully proves the feasibility of reconfigurable strategy and reconfigurable program and must accelerate the profound research and application of the reconfigurable technology.
