چکیده
The Automated Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) is a unique engineering laboratory under development at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) Center for Manufacturing Engineering. The facility provides a base array of manufacturing equipment and systems -a "testbed" -that researchers from NBS, industrial firms, universities, and other government agencies can use to experiment with new standards and to study new methods of measurement and quality control for automated factories.

Experience with IMDAS in the Automated Manufacturing Research Facility
The Automated Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) is a unique engineering laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST†) Center for Manufacturing Engineering. The facility provides a basic array of discrete metal parts manufacturing equipment and control systems – a testbed – that researchers from NIST, industrial firms, universities and other government agencies ca...
متن کاملThe Automated Manufacturing Research Facility
Over the years, NBS/NIST has built various experimental facilities to support its assigned functions of custody, maintenance, and development of national measurement standards, and provision of the means and methods for making measurements consistent with those standards. Such facilities include a nuclear reactor, a cold neutron source, a linear accelerator, a fire research facility, and dead w...
متن کاملFeature-Based Process Planning in the AMRF
The growing use of "features" in the design and manufacturing communities is due to the fact that features better capture the functionality or intent associated with a part design. The process planning team at the National Bureau of Standards is using features and their associated functionality to derive process plans from a part model in a semi-automatic fashion. The process planning team beli...
متن کاملAutomating Robot Programming in the Cleaning and Deburring Workstation of the Amrf
In the Cleaning and Deburring Workstation, two robots cooperate to accomplish deburring, buffing, cleaning, and handling of machined metal parts. A technique has been developed which uses part geometry data to generate robot paths automatically. Using a graphics interface, an operator specifies how a part is to be gripped, fixtured, deburred, buffed, and cleaned. A path planner combines this pr...
