Abstract
The paper describes the flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) created in INCO-Copernicus Project. "Product and Process Data Modelling for FMC - PPDM-MC" (CP-960052). The FMC is integrated with computer systems as: CAD, CAD/CAM, PPC and SFC, which makes the flow of information possible between them and the demonstration of the full manufacturing cycle in the FMC. In the flexible manufacturing cell rotating and prismatic parts can be manufactured. Using simulation devices FACTOR AIM and Roans enables to make simulation experiments, which provide the data for optimisation of product and process data design in FMC.
Highlights
In a market economy, the survival of the organisation depends on its ability to react to changes in production
The project resulted in design and implementation of a model flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) consisting of a number of CNC machines, material handling devices and transfer devices, together with the necessary tooling, planning and control software
It focuses on the issues of modern manufacturing: production planning and control (PPC) for flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), CAD/CAM systems, and simulation
Summary
The survival of the organisation depends on its ability to react to changes in production. Specific factors such as quality, state of the art technology and low cost in relation to production are crucial to the success of the organisation. The project resulted in design and implementation of a model FMC consisting of a number of CNC machines, material handling devices and transfer devices, together with the necessary tooling, planning and control software. The model FMC is created in the European research project “Product and Process Data Modelling for FMC - PPDM-MC“ (CP-960052) It focuses on the issues of modern manufacturing: production planning and control (PPC) for flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), CAD/CAM systems, and simulation. A computer simulation technique was used to model the FMC at the design and implementation stages
