Modular Flexible Production System: Construction and Application in Education

Abstract

This paper deals with the application of the flexible production system in the education of students of different specialties. System allows for the provision of teaching in the same facilities, both for the students of specialized field of study like Mechatronics and such as introductory courses in production management methods for students of Management. The biggest advantage of this system is its modularity allows for any change in the system without having to redesign actuators. These advantages are result of use a lot of flexible solutions, what was precisely described. Line construction involves the cooperation of all the elements, with particular emphasis on robots cooperate with vision system. This will be discussed on the example of the tasks of varying difficulty and educational purpose, implemented using a modular flexible production system.
