Conveyor based assembly production lines were first introduced by Ford H. in the 19th Century, in a need for responding to the increasing market capacity then. Today, many challenges are imposed by conveyor lines including unbalanced station workloads, line inflexibility in coping with changes in demand. This paper describes the implementation of discrete event simulation in the improvement of ...

In the paper, a low friction pneumatic cylinder and a sliding table, and both of them are embedded with aerostatic bearings are designed. A low friction pneumatic table is constructed by combining the pneumatic cylinder and the sliding table. The characteristics for the friction force versus velocity of the pneumatic cylinder and the pneumatic table are measured. Moreover, a hybrid self-tuning ...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a flexible parts feeding system. While flexibility encompasses every part of the workcell design, including hardware and control software, the ability to feed parts in a wide variety of sizes and shapes is crucial. Conventional feeding methods, such as vibratory bowl feeders, are not practical for flexible workcells because of their speciali...

In this brief, it is shown that two of the recently reported voltage mode and current mode current conveyor-based all-pass circuits can be generated from the well known single input op amp all-pass configuration. It is also found that two other voltage mode current conveyor-based all-pass circuits are related directly to the differential input op amp all-pass structure. Several new grounded cap...

It is well known that a °oating inductor circuit is realized from a grounded inductor circuit by replacing the operational ampli ̄er by a °oating operational transconductance ampli ̄er. This idea is extended to transform current conveyor grounded inductors to °oating inductors by replacing the current conveyor by the recently introduced °oating current conveyor. Several examples are considered an...

New nullor-based models are introduced to describe the behavior of the first generation current conveyor (CCI), second generation current conveyor (CCII), third generation current conveyor (CCIII), their inverting equivalents (ICCI(II)(III)), and/or their multiple output topologies (MO(I)CCI(II)(III)). These nullor equivalents include only grounded resistors to improve the formulation of equati...

We present a scheduling problem of the flow-shop type. We introduce a transportation system: robot or conveyor. This transportation system is also involved in machine loading and unloading. The studied workshop consists of two machines and a conveyor that must process a set of tasks. Tasks having just been executed wait for the conveyor to be transported. The objective is to determine a feasibl...

In this paper, problems and application of the computation of false alarm rate (FAR) and threshold for belt conveyor systems are studied. Based on an information system which is developed to meet the requirements on monitoring and fault detection for large scale belt conveyor systems, the probability distribution of model uncertainty is assumed to be known and will be taken into account for the...

A new biquadratic universal filter configuration realizing second-order low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass fiters using single current conveyor is proposed. Using this configuration high-pass, low-pass and band-pass fiters can be realized with little modifications. The circuit employs a secondgeneration current conveyor (CCII+), and only four passive components. Since the current conveyor is a ...
