The determination of appropriate buffer capacity is an important issue in the design of the advanced manufacturing systems and closely related to the system efficiency and flexibility. Work-in-process is usually not desirable. However, in reality, maintaining some capacity of buffer storage is inevitable in compensation for the machine blocking and break down. The objective of this paper is to present analytical methods and tools for the buffer capacity planning in the Flexible Manufacturing System Environments. The effects when machine blocking is critical factor are also discussed.

Proposed in this paper is a modeling and simulation methodology for a virtual manufacturing environment. Based on DEVS formalism[Zeigler 76], the proposed model, so called GKDEVS, is designed to descript the geometrical knematic structure as well as event-driven and continuous state dynamics. In terms of abstract simulation algorithm[Zeigler 84], the simulation method of GKDEVS is proposed for combined discrete-continuous simulation. Using the GKDEVS, and FMS model consisting of a turing machine, a 3-axis machine and a RGV-mounted robot is constructed and simulated.

The diaphragm-type stylus probe was developed for ultra-precision on-machine measurement (OMM) application. This probe is equipped with two diaphragms which are parallel and one capacitive sensor is used for detecting the vertical motion of end tip in the stylus when it is contacted to the optical freeform surface. For better performance of proposed probes, several design parameters such as axial stiffness and the lateral deformations were investigated with finite element analysis techniques. To verify the feasibility, the profiles of the master sphere ball were measured on the ultra-precision milling machine. The measurement results show that the proposed probe can calculate the radius of the circle within the accuracy of 0.1 ${\mu}m$ for the ultraprecision optical surface.

Energy cost has been increasing rapidly to comply with environmental regulations worldwide and the manufacturing industry who consumes more than half of the total energy needs to improve their cost competitiveness considering environmental costs. Machine tools are essential elements in manufacturing industry and efforts have been made recently to increase their energy efficiency mainly by German and Japanese machine tool builders. In this paper, trends in energy saving technology are described on the hardware and software sides of peripheral equipment of machine tools. In addition, the power consumption of a machining center is measured and analyzed to develop a software-based standby strategy for energy saving with peripheral equipment of machine tools.

Interactive measuring Part Program Generating Tools (IMPPGT) realized on the FANUC 15MA using touch trigger probes and interactive macro functions of the CNC were developed for intelligent measuring and inspection systems on the machine tools. Machine tools. Menu driven measuring and inspection functions of the IMPPGT were studied and implemented on the CNC through the macro executor and ROM writer. In order to automate measurement and inspection procedures in machine shops, measuring G Code system was also proposed. Using the developed measuring G Code system on the machine tool, untended measurement and inspection operation was able to be realized in FMS lines.

This paper presents the results of miniaturized micro milling machine tool development for micro precision machining process. Finite element analysis has been performed to know the relationship between design dimensional variables and structural stiffness in terms of static, dynamic, thermal aspects. Design optimization has been performed to optimize the design variables of micro machine tool to minimize the volume, weight and deformation of machine tool structure and to maximize the stiffness in terms of static, dynamic, and thermal characteristics. This study presents the assessment of the technology incentive for the minimization of machine tool in the quantitative context of static, dynamic stiffness, thermal resistance and thus the accuracy implications. This study can also be provided a basic knowledge for further research of micro factory development.

This study is concerned with a heuristic algorithm that can make effectively the machine-part grouping in early stage for designing cellular manufacturing systems. By enhancing the Close Neighbour Algorithm(CNA), the proposed algorithm is concerned with making the machine-part grouping that can maximize machine utilization and minimize part's intercell movement by reducing exceptional elements. The algorithm is tested against existing algorithms in solving several machine-part initial matrices extracted from references and obtained by using random number. Test results shows that a solution matrix of the algorithm has superior grouping efficiency to Close Neighbour Algorithm.

A polishing machine adopting a new unique structural mechanism has been developed, named as a swing-arm type polishing machine. The mechanism is such that the tool path tracks on a spherical surface, of which the diameter is adjusted by setting up the machine mechanism properly. It has a strong benefit especially for polishing axis-symmetric concave mirror surfaces. The swing-arm type polishing machine with 5-axes has been designed in order to polish a concave mirror surface lip to diameter of 2 meters. The drawings are made using 3D CAD and strain-stress analysis has been done by finite element method. AC servo-motor has been used to move the swing arm and a operating software has been developed using a LapVIEW tool. Result of the test run was satisfactory which convinces the usefulness of the swing-arm type polishing machine.

This paper aims to design and analyze the stationary fixture type automatic rotary drilling machine and estimate the safety of the machine through simulations. Working conditions of typical rock excavating machines are mostly affected by geographical conditions on the sea, such as by the ebb and flow of the tide or high waves. Due to the size of machines, it is difficult to move and install machines. So it is necessary to develop a machine that not only can be moved and installed more easily also be operated more quickly and automatically. To validate the safety of the designed structure of the machine, static analysis has been carried out. The results of stress and deformation analysises show that the designed machine is stable and safe in hard working condition.
