Manufacturing Processes Analysis by Virtual Reality

Present work shows many of Virtual Reality (RV) developments carried out in manufacturing processes field by the collaboration between Aerospace Materials and Production Department at the UPM University and Manufacturing and Construction Engineering at the UNED university. Most of them have been directed towards Numerical Control Machine Tools field and towards equipment that configure automated manufacturing systems like Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS).

Machining Processes

This paper presents a methodology for the incorporation of a Virtual Reality development applied to the teaching of manufacturing processes, namely the group of machining processes in numerical control of machine tools. The paper shows how it is possible to supplement the teaching practice through virtual machine-tools whose operation is similar to the 'real' machines while eliminating the risks of use for both users and the machines.

Open Problems

Deadlocks are a rather undesirable situation in a highly automated flexible manufacturing system. Their occurrences often deteriorate the utilization of resources and may lead to catastrophic results in safety-critical systems. This work surveys the open problems in deadlock control for automated manufacturing systems. The focus is deadlock prevention due to its large and continuing stream of efforts. A control strategy is evaluated in terms of computational complexity, behavioral permissiveness, and structural complexity of its deadlock-free supervisor. This study provides readers with a conglomeration of the open problems in this area and facilitates them in finding a suitable topic for their research.
