A difficult problem in operating Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) is to control the system in real-time by coordinating heterogeneous machines and integrating distributed information. The objective of the paper is to present the models and methodologies useful to resolve the difficult problem. The detailed objectives can be described in three folds. First, a hierarchical Colored and Timed Petri-Net (CTPN) is designed to control an FMS in real-time. The concerned FMS consists of a loading station, several machining cells, a material handling system, and an unloading station. Timed-transitions are used to represent the timed-events such as AGV movements between stations and cells, part machining activities in the cells. Signal places are also used to represent communication status between the host and the cell controllers. To resolve the event conflicts and scheduling problems, dispatching rules are introduced and applied. Second, an implementation methodology used to monitor and diagnose the errors occurring on the machines during system operation is proposed. Third, a Petri-Net simulator is developed to experiment with the designed control logic.

A recent trend In flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) Is to utilize the Identical versatile machines with fast tool delivery devices. Unlike a conventional FMS where parts are fed to the machines with the required tools, tools are acquired from other machines using a tool delivery system and parts can be finished on the same machine In these FMS. Therefore it Is more important problem 4o plan tool flow using tool delivery system In these FMS rather than part flow In conventional FMS. According to the existing study, In FMS 20∼30 percent of the total management cost Is the cost related with tools and It Is possible to reduce the tool Inventory by 40 percent using efficient tool allocation. In this study, In FMS under dynamic tool allocation strategy, a new method of part release considering tool flow at the stage of part release Is proposed. In order to prove the efficiency of the proposed part release It is compared with other part release through simulation experiments. Performance measures in these experiments are the throughput and the number of tardy parts.

In order to represent and analyze distributed system design, the model based on an extended form of Petri nets, which enables one to represent both the structure and the behavior of a distributed system, is predented. Behavioral properties of the design representation are verified by translating the extended Petri net into an equivalent ordinary Petri net. The model emphasizes the unified representation of control flows, hierarchical structure, and distributed system state. Modeling technique isemployed for the performance and function analysis of flexible manufacturing system with a set of processors.

The model of a FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) admits to a natural hierarchical decomposition of highly decoupled units with similar structure and control. The FMS fractal architecture model represents a hierarchical structure built from elements of a single basic design. A SES (System Entity Structure) is a structural knowledge representation scheme that contains knowledge of decomposition, taxonomy, and coupling relationships of a system necessary to direct model synthesis. A substructure of a SES is extracted for use as the skeleton for a model. This substructure is called pruned SES and the extraction operation of a pruned SES from a SES is called pruning (or pruning operation). This paper presents a pruning operation called recursive pruning. It is applied to SES for generating a model structure whose sub-structure contains copies if itself as in FMS fractal architecture. Another pruning operation called delay pruning is also presented. Combined with recursive pruning the delay pruningis a useful tool for representing and constructing complex systems.

This paper presents a new approach to the design of neural control system using digital signal processors in order to improve the precision and robustness. Robotic manipulators have become increasingly important in the field of flexible automation. High speed and high-precision trajectory tracking are indispensable capabilities for their versatile application. The need to meet demanding control requirement in increasingly complex dynamical control systems under significant uncertainties, leads toward design of intelligent manipulation robots. The TMS320C31 is used in implementing real time neural control to provide an enhanced motion control for robotic manipulators. In this control scheme, the networks introduced are neural nets with dynamic neurons, whose dynamics are distributed over all the network nodes. The nets are trained by the distributed dynamic back propagation algorithm. The proposed neural network control scheme is simple in structure, fast in computation, and suitable for implementation of real-time control. Performance of the neural controller is illustrated by simulation and experimental results for a SCARA robot.

In recent years, as the optical Communication systems are developed, the demands of essential parts such as splitter, coupler, WDM, and AWG filter are grow rapidly. The fabrication process for them is not, however, automatic. On that reason, the automation is needed for the grow of productivity. The optical alignment and attach ment is the core process in fabrication. In this paper, the 6-axis rotary stage for multi-channel optical alignment system is developed and the dynamic characteristic of this system is studied.

In many project-oriented production systems, e.g., shipyards or large-scale steel products manufacturing, resource loading by an activity is flexible, and the activity duration is a function of resource allocation. For example, if one doubles the size of the crew assigned to perform an activity, it may be feasible to complete the activity in half the duration. Such flexibility has been modeled by Weglarz [131 and by Leachman, Dincerler, and Kim [7] in extended formulations of the resource-constrained project scheduling problem. This paper presents a new algorithmic approach to the problem that combines the ideas proposed by the aforementioned authors. The method we propose involves a two-step approach: (1) solve the resource-constrained scheduling problem using a heuristic, and (2) using this schedule as an initial feasible solution, find improved resource allocations by solving a linear programming model. We provide computational results indicating the superiority of this approach to previous methodology for the resource-constrained scheduling problem. Extensions to the model to admit overlap relationships of the activities also are presented.

Bellows are commonly used in piping systems to absorb expansion and contraction in order to reduce stress. Unlike most piping components, bellows consist of a thin-walled shell of revolution with a corrugated meridian, in order to provide the flexibility needed to absorb mechanical movements. It is a composite shell structure consisting of at least one toroidal shell, an annular plate or conical shell. It is difficult to analyze the behavior of bellows because of its complex geometry. Simplified formulas for variable mechanical behaviors of bellows are provided by a standard called EJMA. An automatic design software for bellows is programming by using VBA(Visual Basic for Application) based on EJMA. Bellows engineers can effectively make a decision for bellows geometries because this software provides graphically design results in its post-processor. Bellows design software is expected to give quite a good guidance to practical design. The characteristics of bellows are also investigated through the automatic design process in bellows design software.
