摘要:
A machining system capable of displaying operation programs and associated information for a plurality of components of the system on the same display screen for confirming, creating and editing of the operation programs and associated information. A machine tool, a jig device for fixing/unfixing a workpiece on the machine tool, a handling robot and a visual sensor are connected with an information processing device by a communication path. A list of items specifying operation programs and associated information for the respective components is displayed with respect to different kinds of workpieces on a display screen of the information processing device. When one or more of the items are selected by an operator, the operation program or programs and the associated information specified by the selected item or items are displayed in the form of a window on the display screen. Since the operation programs and the associated information for the respective components are displayed on the same display screen to allow the operator to confirm, create and edit the operation programs and the associated information at one place.

摘要:
A state change management system of a manufacturing cell in a cell control system receives, from the manufacturing cell, event information items in different forms generated in multiple manufacturing machines constituting a manufacturing cell, via a communication device, to thereby monitor the changes in the states of the multiple manufacturing machines. Moreover, the state change management system converts the received event information items in the different forms into a standardized form, and outputs the event information items in the standardized form to a production planning device that performs production planning of a product manufactured by the manufacturing cell via the communication device.

摘要:
A generic cell controlling method and apparatus for a computer integrated manufacturing system accepts manufacturing operation commands to perform a selected manufacturing operation on a selected manufacturing tool. The sequence of generic steps to be performed by the manufacturing tool is determined, in order to implement the selected manufacturing operation. Each step is used to generate operational instructions for the tool controller. The sequence of generic steps is preferably produced using a database which has an entry for each manufacturing operation. Each entry includes parameters which are specific for each tool, and an indication of sequence of steps to be performed. When a manufacturing operation command is received, the command is matched to a database entry and the parameters and sequences associated with that entry are used to call a series of routines or modules. Associated parameters are provided to each routine for generating the operational instructions for the particular tool. The routines or modules which are called by the database are independent of one another. Accordingly, a particular routine can be easily updated or a new routine can be easily added. New interfaces to new tools may be provided by generating one or more routines and providing new data in the existing database structure. A learning mechanism may be provided to allow the generic cell controller to be taught how to handle new instructions while in operation.
