Steuerung roboterintegrierter flexibler Fertigungszellen

Abstract

The robot-based flexible manufacturing work cell consists of several automation components with at least one robot performing the central function of the work cell. Different components like peripheral devices and transport systems are employed additionally. All components in the flexible manufacturing work cell work on varying products cooperatively. This paper deals with a progressive control system for the robot-based flexible manufacturing work cell. Basing on a concept for dissection of manufacturing systems into a structure of autonomouos and discoupled work cells the requirements on a work cell controller are described
