Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Handling System

Technical Description of Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Handling System

The training system presented here represents a fully functional CIM cell (CIM = Computer Integrated Manufacturing). The system allows an automated manufacturing process to be created. The demonstrates the basic processes of handling (robots), manufacturing (CNC machining), and control (PLC). An overhead robot on a linear drive supplies two CNC machines with raw parts taken from a magazine. The machined dimensions of the finished workpieces are checked in an inspection jig before the items are placed in a finished parts store. Defined planning and control data is used to control various machines. The relevant data is stored in a software program, and is processed by the control units of the individual machines. A PLC system monitors and controls the process. The manufacturing cell is equipped with all necessary sensors and control devices. The control and programming software for the CNC machines, the robot, the linear drive and the software for the PLC (monitoring and control) are installed on two PCs.
