Abstract

The idea of this paper is to present basic components of a flexible assembly system (FAS), discuss it characteristics, classify the systems and describe an application. This equipment offers professional training according to the industrial reality, simulating a real assembly process and including different technologies from Industry 4.0. The FAS consists of an automated flexible assembly cell with five different stages: assembly, handling, quality inspection, transfer and warehouse. It is the ideal answer to research and training in industrial automation. The main advantage is that it has fully modularity in keeping with industrial reality. The technologies included in its different assembly modules, as well as the assembly process with several variants, allow the user to develop the professional skills required by advanced automation. In this work the conventional control approach is presented with programmable logic controllers (PLC) and SCADA level.
