Abstract
The principles and techniques of Group Technology have the scope for universal application, being adaptable to the required areas in manufacturing system planning. This report suggests the extension of existing Classification and Coding systems, and approaches for the creation of manufacturing cells using techniques of machine-component grouping, to the design to robot grippers possessing the flexibility to handle a large variety of part shapes. It proposes the use of appropriate part attributes and the inclusion of a part attribute ranking scheme in the Classification and Coding exercise to systematise this effort, using data originally intended for use in machine tool selection, process-planning and design retrieval.
