Different Parts

In modern industry, flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) are indispensable to increase productivity and product quality. The cells that constitute them have several work stations connected to each other through a communication protocol, therefore, with which they are able to identify and distinguish between the different parts or products processed in the system. Furthermore, they have the ability of adaptation to the demand of processing different products and quantities. In the FMS communication protocols are used such as Device Net, Ethernet, among others. However, there are cases in which there are no communication modules; however, it is necessary to develop alternative devices to communicate the work stations with each other to integrate a flexible manufacturing cell with the necessary characteristics. This paper presents the results obtained from the study of infrastructure for the development of a communication interface to integrate a flexible manufacturing cell using a microcontroller, with the capability of communicating two work stations. In this particular case, a FANUC M6iB robot with a HAAS VF2 machining center.

Abstract The conventional design to manufacture cycle time in producing a part can be reduced by eliminating design errors and difficult to machine features before process planning begins. This paper discusses the identification, development and operation of an approach which uses a data base of flexible manufacturing cell capabilities in order to analyze a design for manufacturability. Designs which the cell protocol is unable to produce are rejected, and ways in which a design may be made more producible are suggested to the user. This paper addresses issues, such as material availability, tool availability and the acheivability of tolerance, as they relate to the flexible manufacturing cell which contains a Matsuura 510V CNC machining center, a robot and simulated AGV and fixturing. An important contribution of this work, which is an integral part of the overall system protocol, is the wide variety of manufacturability constraints covered and the convenience of including it in the overall part design and process planning protocol.

The conventional product development cycle time in producing a part can be reduced by eliminating design errors and difficult to machine features before manufacturing process begins. This paper discusses the identification, development, and operation of an approach which uses a global data base of flexible manufacturing cell capabilities in order to analyze a design for manufacturability. Designs which the cell is unable to produce are rejected, and ways in which a design may be made more producible are suggested to the user. This paper addresses issues, such as availability of material, fixture, and tool and the achievability of tolerance. The approach is implemented on a cell containing a machining center and material handling equipment operating under a rapid prototyping protocol. An important contribution of this work is the wide variety of manufacturability constraints covered and the convenience of including it in the overall process of product development.

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.
