This paper presents the works performed by the authors in the field of robotic machine tending applications, focusing on flexible manufacturing cells (FMC) integrating industrial robots (IR) performing CNC machine tool's and machining center's loading / unloading tasks. Considering different types of parts typically manufactured and a rough classification of these parts with respect to their specific shape and size, a three manufacturing cell design principles are proposed for different work piece category. Following these general guidelines, for each proposed principle, an example of cell structure and 3D CAD model was developed using CATIA software. Each flexible manufacturing cell has a specific structure pattern, different layouts being discussed including part storage / transport system, CNC lathes / turning centers machining capabilities and articulated arm / hybrid kinematic type IR specific embedding into the FMC. The core of the article is focused on presenting the structure of each proposed FMC specific approaches in promoting very recent technical developments / new products embedding, as well as full integration of presented new design concepts in turning part's manufacturing FMC.

Machining Operations

This paper presents the works performed by the authors in the field of robotic flexible manufacturing cell offline programming and simulation. The study includes a manufacturing cell structure which includes a part transport system, a CNC lathe / turning centre and an articulated arm type industrial robot. The robot performs the task of loading / unloading the CNC lathe / manufacturing centre and manipulating the parts inside the cell, while the machining operations are performed by the CNC manufacturing centre. After briefly presenting the layout of the cell, the paper focuses on describing the methods used for offline programming and simulation of the tasks performed by the industrial robot. The software package used is ABB RobotStudio. The results of the research work are a process simulation and validation for CNC lathe / machining centre loading / unloading operation and part manipulation performed by the industrial robot and assisted task programming for this application using ABB RobotStudio software. The assisted offline programming and simulation general methods used, as well as the procedures for each stage of the applications are described, in order to illustrate the specific operation for each cell and offline programming aspects.

The authors of this paper aim to highlight the basic design of a flexible manufacturing cell destined for the final processing of water radiators used for AAVs, cell serviced by a serial modular industrial robot possessing in its kinematic chain structure three degrees of freedom, RRT SIL type. The paper outlines the concept, calculation and design of the (MRB) rotation module at the studied industrial robot’s base and of the (MT) translation module of the prehension device attached to the robotic arm. Depending on the organological elements that are part of the MRB rotation module and based on a rigorous dynamic study performed on robotic modules, modeling conducted with the help of Lagrangian equations of the second kind, a dynamic-organological calculation algorithm was obtained for the selection of the appropriate driving servomotor necessary to putting the rotation movable system into service. The last part of the paper deals with the flexible manufacturing cell, together with the calculations related to profitability, economy and investment return duration, following the implementation of the RRT SIL-type industrial robot.

Rotary flexible manufacturing cell with multi-station automatic stretching is designed in this paper to meet the requirements of the machining process of cylindrical drawing parts as well as the needs of different stations for multi-drawing. The cell uses fixed circular disc worktable with multi-station. Each machining station has hydraulic stretcher to complete the drawing of the workpiece. Flexible manipulator finishes automatic loading and unloading among hydraulic stretchers. Gripper of manipulator with automatic center aligning and size control can grip workpiece in various sizes and has the function of self-centering. This equipment has completely realized all the stretching processes automaticly from feeding sheet metal to sending and forming workpieces. It can improve production efficiency and quality. It can also improve safety, reliability and cost efficiency. When replacing worked parts is needed, simply replace modular mold of every station in fixed circular disc worktable.
