| Popis: | The reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is a new manufacturing technology and paradigm that resolves the contradictions regarding high efficiency, low cost and flexible production in the mass production of part families. Reconfigurable machine tools (RMTs) are the core components of RMSs. A new approach is proposed for the design of RMTs, which is closely related to the process planning of a given box-type part family. The concepts of the processing unit and the processing segment are presented they are not only the basic elements of the processing plans of machined parts, but also closely related to the structural design of RMTs. Processing units created by processing features can be combined into various processing segments. All the processing units of one processing segment correspond to the machining operations performed by one RMT. By arranging the processing segments according to the processing sequence, a variety of feasible processing plans for a part can be obtained. Through analysis of the established similarity calculation model for processing plans, the most similar processing plans for the parts in a given part family can be determined and used for the structural design of RMTs. Therefore, the designed RMTs can achieve rapid conversion of processing functions with the least module replacement or adjustment to realize the production of the parts in the part family. Taking the production of a gearbox part family as an example, the validity of the presented method is verified. |
