...Sang‐Hoon Kong; Jaehong Park; Young‐Geun Han; Gibom Kim; Kyo‐Il Lee This paper presents an Internet‐based virtual machining system which applies virtual manufacturing technology to machining processes of CNC machining center. The system is implemented to execute digital machining and verification...

... precedence relationships are not violated. However, there are limitations in applying line balancing approaches to TL type machining systems. When designing TL systems, each station is designed to be dedicated to a task or a small set of tasks, so as to maximize efficiency. Therefore, rearranging a task from...

...Liu Zhan‐Qiang; Patri K. Venuvinod; V.A. Ostafiev A new system for on‐machine measurement of workpieces is described. The system is based on a fine touch sensor that enables the cutting tool itself to act as a contact probe to inspect the workpiece. The proposed measurement technology combines...

... in manufacturing environments where the number of machining operations makes the problem complex. Concludes that an ACTS expert system module can offer possibilities of total design systems when combined with CADCAM. Knowledge base Selecting tools like the expert engineer will intuitively use such factors...

...A. Kochan Discusses the use of flexible machining systems as a solution when volumes are too low to justify a transfer line. Considers the example of a new engine produced by Francaise de Mecanique for top‐range cars, the first time the company has used FMS. Surmises that the reasons for adopting...
