In terms of organisation, the production achieved by polyservice of machines and equipment implies the existence of some independent organisational links. The organisation of the polyservice activity by departments and workshops inside of which great importance should be given to the system of grouping the machines and equipment, studying the optimal conditions to locate them. Organising the production by single or multiple object, continuous or discontinuous flow, manufacturing lines takes into account: the parameters of the flow line, parameters concerning the labour force, the parameters of the machine-tools, technological parameters, etc. Another form of organising the production obtained through polyservice is the production departments in the composition of which there are numerically and automatically controlled machine tools. Organising the production obtained through polyservice may also be done in production departments, in the composition of which there are the transfer machine-tools, processing centres, and manufacturing cells. Organising the flexible manufacturing systems takes into account: the number of benchmarks that will be processed, reduction of the duration to design and make new products, typification and modulation of SDVs, equipping the machines and equipment with standardised SDVs, etc. The most efficient organisational form is the production departments in the composition of which there are the flexible manufacturing cells provided with industrial robots.

Machine Replacement

The main problem of establishing equipment replacement decisions rules under specific conditions is to find decision variables that minimize total incurred costs over a planning horizon. Basically, the rules differ depending on what type of production type is used. For a batch production organization the suitable criterion is built on the principle of economies of scale. Proposed econometric models in this chapter are focused on a multiple machine replacement problem in flexible manufacturing cells with several machines for parts’ processing, and industrial robots for manipulation and transportation of manufactured objects. Firstly, models for a simple case multiple machine replacement problems are presented. Subsequently, the more complicated case is considered where technological improvement is taken into account.

In polishing-process automation, research is focusing on having industrial robots replace skilled personnel. In judging whether polishing is sufficient, and robot polishing programs using CAD/CAM have been proposed. We propose that polished surface quality the judged based on image processing, with the robot polishing using a personal computer and signal communication.

This R&CIM laboratory is one of fifteen research laboratories belonging to the Department of Mechanical and Control Engineering. It is involved in research on efficient and accurate manufacturing process automation. The research is divided roughly into three groups: multiaxis control machining, ultra-precision micro-machining and the application of industrial robots to dirty and/or dangerous tasks. The control software is based on 3DCAD data that employs solid models. The laboratory's research activities are described briefly.

We report on an ambitious project in the field of automation, applied to bound and free abrasive processing of precision and ultra-precision surfaces, with potentially far-reaching consequences. This involves two main aspects:- directly processing surfaces using industrial robots, and combining robots with Zeeko CNC polishing machines to automate operations that are currently manual. These form steps towards our ultimate vision of the Integrated Manufacturing Cell for bespoke optics rather than mass-produced, and manufacture of other precision surfaces including prosthetic joint implants. Projects such as the European Extremely Large Telescope provide a relevant case study, where significant numbers of high-value bespoke optics are required.

Urgency of the research. Automated workplaces are growing up in present, especially with implementation of industrial robots with feasibility of various dispositions, where safety and risk assessment is considered as most important issues. Target setting. The protection of workers must be at the first place, therefore safety and risk assessment at automated workplaces is most important problematic, which had presented in this article Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Actual research is much more focused at standard workplaces without industrial robots. So, missing of information from the field of automated workplaces in connection with various dispositions can be considered as added value of article. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Despite to lot of general safety instructions in this area, still is missed clear view only at automated workplace with industrial robots. The research objective. The aim of article is to provide general instructions directly from the field of automated workplaces The statement of basic materials. For success realization of automated workplace is good to have a helping hand and orientation requirements needed for risk assessment at the workplace. Conclusions. The results published in this article increase the awareness and information of such automated workplaces, together with industrial robots. In addition, presented general steps and requirements helps persons for better realization of these types of workplaces, where major role takes an industrial robot. Our proposed solution can be considered as relevant base for risk assessment such workplaces with safety fences or light barriers.
