Simulation of a Flexible Manufacturing System for Machining Some Industrial Parts

Abstract

One thought about this work because we consider that the operating procedure of flexible systems could be introduced in most factories that propose and have as a priority large-scale production. The mode of operation and planning of each robot is very close to reality thanks to the 3D simulation, made in the Alice three-dimensional graphic environment. With this procedure, one can highlight the main characteristic of a flexible manufacturing system, that is, the flexibility obtained through automation and at the same time the saving of working time. Thanks to the fact that a computerized machine system is used, any piece can be executed, at any time and in any quantity, representing an advantage for any factory that uses this system. Another major advantage is the development of new programs that allow the solution of numerous problems related to the coordination of the various components of the system and the optimal operation of the machine.
