Modular Reconfigurable Machine Tools : Design , Control and Evaluation
The reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) paradigm encapsulates methodologies that enable manufacturing systems to cope effectively with market and product changes. This research presents the design and evaluation of modular reconfigurable machine (MRM) tools as a novel machining solution within the scope of RMS. Mechanical and control designs are presented, outlining the development of thi...
متن کاملIntegrated Machine and Control Design for Reconfigurable Machine Tools
In this paper, we describe a systematic design procedure for reconfigurable machine tools and their associated control systems. The starting point for the design is a set of operations that must be performed on a given part or part family. These operations are decomposed into a set of functions that the machine must perform, and the functions are mapped to machine modules, each of which has an ...

متن کاملA Method for Design of Modular Reconfigurable Machine Tools
Abstract: Presented in this paper is a method for the design of modular reconfigurable machine tools (MRMTs). An MRMT is capable of using a minimal number of modules through reconfiguration to perform the required machining tasks for a family of parts. The proposed method consists of three steps: module identification, module determination, and layout synthesis. In the first step, the module co...
متن کاملDesign of a Modular Self-Reconfigurable Robot
In this paper we examine the development of modular self-reconfigurable robots. A survey of existing modular robots is given. Some limitations of homogeneous designs and connection mechanisms are discussed. Therefore, we propose a heterogeneous self-reconfigurable robot with genderless, fail-safe connecting mechanisms. We initially design three basic types (joint, power and special units) of mo...
