Design of flexible manufacturing systems on the basis of CAx software and virtual modeling

Resumo

Structural synthesis of flexible manufacturing systems for the machining of batches of parts and subassemblies at the preliminary design (technical proposal) stage is considered, on the basis of CAx software and virtual modeling of the control system. This is the key stage of design, since the structural synthesis of the flexible manufacturing system largely determines the economic viability of the design as a whole.
