    The document discusses flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). It provides a brief history of FMS, describing how the concept originated in the 1960s and was first implemented in companies in the US, Germany, Russia and Japan in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It defines an FMS as an automated machine cell consisting of interconnected processing workstations and automated material handling and storage. Key benefits of FMS include optimizing manufacturing cycle time, reducing production costs and overcoming internal changes like breakdowns. The document outlines the basic components of an FMS including workstations, automated material handling systems, and computer control systems. It also discusses various FMS layouts and applications.

    History
    • TheFMSwas first conceptualized for machining, and it required
    the prior development of NC.

    • This concept is credited to DavidWilliamson, a British engineer during mid- 1960s.


    • In late 1960s the first FMS machining system was installed at Ingersoll-Rand company in
    Virginia.
    • Germanyimplemented its first FMSin 1969, in cooperation with the
    university ofStuttgart.
    • Russia and Japan implemented FMS in1972.
    What is FMS??
    • A flexible manufacturing system is a
    automated machine cell, consisting of a
    group of processing workstations,
    interconnected with automated material
    handling and storage system.
    • The FMS is most suited for the mid-
    variety, mid-volume production range
    Why FMS ?
    • External changes such as change in product design and
    production system.
    • Optimizing the manufacturing cycle time
    • Reduced production costs
    • Overcoming internal changes like breakdowns etc.
    What makes it flexible???
    • Three capabilitiesthat a manufacturing system must
    possess to be a flexible.
    1.The ability to identify and distinguish among the different part
    styles processed by the system.
    2. Quick changeover of operating instructions, and
    3.Quick changeover of physical setup.
    Classification of FMS…
    • Flexible manufacturing systems can be distinguished
    according to the number of machines in the system. The
    following are typicalcategories:

    ❑ Single machine cell


    ❑ Flexible manufacturing cell
    ❑ Flexible manufacturing system
    Single Machine Cell(SMC)
    •A single machine cell consists
    of one CNC machining
    center
    combined with a parts storage
    system for unattended operation.
    • Completed parts are periodically
    unloaded from the parts storage
    unit, and raw work parts are loaded
    into it
    Flexible ManufacturingCell (FMC)

    • A flexible manufacturing cell consists of two orthree

    processing workstations (typically CNCmachining

    centers)plusaparthandlingsystem.

    • Thepart handling systemisconnected to aload/unload

    station.
    Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS)
    • A flexible manufacturing system has four or more processing workstations
    connected mechanically by a common part handling system and
    electronically by a distributed computer system.
    Basic components of FMS

    Human Resources
    • Human are needed to manage the
    operations of the FMS. Functions
    typically performed by human includes:
    ➢ Loading raw work parts into the
    system,
    ➢ Unloading finished parts (or
    assemblies) from the system,
    ➢ Changing and setting tools,
    ➢ Equipment maintenance and repair,
    ➢ NC part programming in a machining
    Layouts of FMS

    • LoopType
    • LadderType
    • Open field type
    • Robot centeredtype

    2. Loop Layout
    3.Ladder Type Layout 4.Open Field Layout
    5. Robot Centered Layout
    Application of FMS

    • Metal-cutting machining
    • Metal forming
    • Assembly
    • Joining-welding (arc ,spot), gluing
    • Surface treatment
    • Inspection
    • Testing
    ▪Advantages of FMS
    • To reduce set up and queue times
    • Improve efficiency
    • Reduce time for product completion
    • Utilize human workersbetter
    • Improve product routing
    • Produce a variety of Items under one roof
    • Improve product quality
    • Serve a variety of vendors simultaneously
    • Produce more product more quickly
    ▪Disadvantages of FMS

    • Expensive.
    • Substantial pre-planning activity.
    Challenges with FMS
    • Determining if FMS the best production system
    for yourcompany

    • Possible expansion costs associatedwith


    implementing FMS
    Conclusion

    • FMSis a revolution in the field of Manufacturing

    • Technology.
    • FMScan be designed to meet the specificdemand of eachcompany

    • FMSis used formultitask operation.


    • FMSrequires substantial investment of time and resources.
