What is a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS)?

A Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) is an advanced manufacturing setup that can process different types of parts or products simultaneously with minimal changeover time. It integrates CNC machines, material handling systems, and computer control to achieve flexibility and efficiency in production.

What components are included in CadMech FMS setup?

CadMech FMS setup includes CNC Lathe Trainer, CNC Mill Trainer, ASRS (Automatic Storage and Retrieval System), Pallet Conveyors, and Linear Shuttle Conveyors, all interconnected for automated flexible manufacturing operations.

What are the advantages of Flexible Manufacturing Systems?

FMS advantages include reduced setup and queue times, improved manufacturing efficiency, faster product completion, better utilization of human workers, improved product routing, and the ability to produce a variety of items under one integrated setup.

Is CadMech FMS suitable for educational institutions?

Yes, CadMech FMS is designed for engineering colleges and vocational training centers. It provides hands-on experience with industry-standard automated manufacturing processes and prepares students for careers in advanced manufacturing.

Can the FMS system be expanded or customized?

Yes, CadMech FMS systems can be expanded and customized to meet specific educational or industrial requirements, allowing institutions to scale their manufacturing lab as needed.

FMS Setup Comprises of:

CNC Lathe Trainer with Loading Arm
CNC Mill Trainer with Loading Arm
ASRS
Pallet Conveyors
Linear Shuttle Conveyors

Storage Station:

The ASRS storage is a floor-mounted or a table top automated storage and retrieval (ASRS) system desgined for educational use. The systems dedicated cartesian robot transfers parts between storage cells and conveyor pallets stopped at the ASRS station.

Conveyors:

The Conveyor frame is constructed of extruded, back anodized. A double flexible chain moves in the inner and outer rails and moves the load (Pallets) by friction.

We provide a strategic framework for implementing Flexible Manufacturing Systems in India to reduce set up and queue times and improve efficiency.

FMS Setup:

Flexible Manufacturing Systems are an evolutionary process from numerical control (NC), then computer numerical control (CNC), to manufacturing systems.
Numerical control provides the ability for a machine to use a program to process a part.
Computer numerical control provides the ability to store multiple programs and interchange these programs for a machine.
CNC controlled machines combined with a pallet changing device provides the ability to process a mixture of parts without setup.
FMS combine multiple CNC controlled machines with pallet handling systems, pallet load/unload stations and a supervisory computer control.
