Development of Flexible Manufacturing Systems(FMS)

Flexible Manufacturing System(FMS)의 개발

This paper describes two FMS, which were developed by SAEIL Heavy Industries. One is FMS for machining of circular parts, that are automobile's axle shafts. This system consists of 13units, including 7CNC machine tools. The other is RMS for machining of non- circular parts namely casted or steel block within size of 1.2${\times}$1.2${\times}$1.5m. This FMS consists of 8-machining centers, 1-automated werehouse, 2,-unmanned Robo Trailers, and computer control room. All systems are functioning satisfactorily and so help greately towards automation of Korean industries.
