Developments and planning for FMS-requirements, examples and experiences‡
通过三个案例，介绍了用于车削和钻孔的计算机辅助制造单元及汽车行业柔性制造系统的规划与实现方法，分析了技术性能和经济评估，并讨论了难以量化的特征。
The paper describes, following three case studies, the procedure and methodological aids used for planning and realization of a computer-assisted manufacturing island for turning and drilling of rotational parts, and an FMS for rotational parts in the automotive industry which have been realized or are currentlv under construction. Further, the results are analysed in terms of technical performance and economic evaluation. Additionally discussed are some hard-to-quantifv features of the mentioned FMS which must be emphasized to keep pace with the requirements of more competitive production. The paper concludes with recommendations for the proper steps toward flexibly automated production.
