FANUC has recently developed a machining cell capable of a wide range of manufacturing activities. This machining cell consists of a CNC machine tool, an industrial robot, and factory to form a highly effective manufacturing system. FANUC LTD, Fuji Electric Co. , Ltd, and FUJITSU (3F) worked jointly to develop a total factory automation system combining these machining cells with improved performance, a warehouse-carrier system, and a production control system.

The stages through which an Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) passes are described from the initial concept to full production, with identification of the principal types of system, and their application. Particular reference is made of the relationship between supplier and customer, and the obligations of each if a successful installation is to be achieved.
This paper considers some of the practicalities and how certain of those criteria - the benefit/constraint related modular approach - for example, have been applied: firstly to small batch production, through to mediu...

The Japanese National Project named 'Flexible Manufacturing System Complex Provided with Laser' started in 1977. During the last 6 years, the elemental technologies for the completely flexible manufacturing system were accomplished which included metal forming, machining, laser application, automatic diagnosis and design and management technologies. The present paper explains these results first, then the functions and design of the test plant is outlined.

For effective application of industrial robots in flexible manufacturing systems the guided automatic collision avoidance is an important but so far unsolved problem. The basis is unconstrained path control of each robotcontrolled e. g. by optical sensors in connection with different priority levels assigned to the robots and/or manufacturing systems. Iterative, time-consuming hierarchical control methods are not applicable due to the complexity and the real-time constraints of this task. Here, the application of flexible hierarchical decision strategies in connection with time-efficient evaluation of decision tables is presented as a new and successful approach.

The paper considers the question of cost/benefit for each of the elements of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) work stations, system control and material handling and ways in which performance can be measured. it also describes the gains that can be made through planning for FMS even before investment. Examples illustrate that significant improvements in performance can be achieved by upgrading an existing shop with some elements of FMS on the way to a full system.

Between manual single-piece manufacturing processes and mass production machine lines there exists a growing need of facilities in which individual machines can be combined into groups, which together, form a flexible automatic and fully combined production unit. The paper highlights the coupling together and integration of individual modules by means of an AGV-system with the aim of achieving an efficiently functioning unit.
