Design Methodology of Automation Equipment and Control System in the Intelligent Assembly Cell

Abstract

Intelligent assembly cell conception includes new solution kind of how to create structures of assembly system. None external industrial robot is used for manipulation and also for assembly. Intelligent behavior of the system will repose on monitoring of important parameters of the system and also will be monitored information about system interaction with its surround. Flexible conception realization of intelligent assembly systems brings many advantages such as, cell will brings flexible reactions of the system to the manufacturing changes, build up area saving, lover building costs, higher using effects of whole device. The paper is presented the description of the new conception philosophy and individual subsystems of the intelligent assembly cell. In the next phases of the project is developed the automation equipment that provides for automated motion of all assembly devices by help of the actuating elements, sensory equipment that provides for automatic monitoring of all motions, parts and physical properties of the system. It is also important to develop the control system, monitoring system and safety system included in the intelligent assembly cell. The design methodology as the developed systematic tool is used for the design of automatic equipment and control system in the intelligent assembly cell.
