Flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) was the extension of the CNC machining center,which consisted of three portions , a CNC machining center , an industrial robot and unified by a the background computer programmable control. In order to guarantee the rationality and feasibility of the automatic operation loading and unloading workpieces , the simulation object was based on the KUKA robot of flexible manufacturing cell in this paper, which based on MATLAB/GUI and combinated of VRML language and information transmission method development between MATLAB and the simulation system of flexible manufacturing unit. According to the set up parameters and angles, the model was implemented. Through the control panel and the robot's real-time interactive simulation, 3d visualization window can be real-time display of the robot simulation, and validated the path planning. According to the simulation results of the model , it could provide reference to the actual movement of the KUKA robot trajectory planning, provided the better fully automated feasibility analysis of flexible manufacturing cell, and proved the improvement of flexible manufacturing unit operation scientifically and reasonably.
