Abstract:

Ensuring a high quality and totally defect free production is a crucial issue in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) because interruptions are expensive in those systems. AutoComp project examines possibilities to build an autonomous measuring and compensation system for a FMS. The system involves, besides a device itself, also analysis of measurement, calculation of compensation tables and activation of new parameters in a numerical controller (NC).
