Advanced Industrial Automation
FMS
The FMS training systems configuration comprises of:
• CAD/CAM Programming
• Control Systems
• Operating Robotic Systems
• Operating CNC Machines
• Communication and Synchronization of Robot, CNC Machines and Other Devices
• Managing and Optimizing FMS Cells and Production
• Automated Manufacturing Processes
The software for FMS Workstation
Open FMS software is a pioneering manufacturing and shop floor management tool for industrial training.
Supervising the entire manufacturing process, the FMS software monitors the operation of all cell elements and ensures they are synchronized for optimum performance. The FMS manager controls what will be manufactured, where it will be machined, when production will be scheduled and what quantities will be produced.
The software’s open architecture enables the easy integration of third-party hardware and software components, enabling the effortless expansion and customization of the FMS system.
Open FMS remotely controls the FMS system. TCP/IP communication protocol allows a FMS manager to be located off-site, requiring only an Internet connection to operate the system.
The Open FMS software package includes:
• FMS Management
• Machine and Process Definition
• Part Definition
• Materials Resource Planning (MRP)
• Storage Management
• FMS Scheduler (Gantt)
• Report Generator
• 3D Graphic Display M
For online tracking of the manufacturing process and off-line simulation of the FMS processes. Students can verify and test the complete production process off-line or during a dry run before executing an actual production run.
• Virtual Setup Module
Students can design and configure both real and simulated FMS cells, so experimenting with FMS configurations beyond those available in the school’s lab.
CAD/CAM
For nearly two decades, thousands of customers worldwide have relied on the performance of innovative and trusted SolidCAM solutions. The hallmarks of SolidCAM are ease-of-use combined with powerful CAM functionality and customized post-processors, generating ready-to-go CNC-code. SolidCAM is widely used throughout a number of businesses including Mechanical Manufacturing, Automotive and Aerospace industries, Electronics, Mold Die shops and the field of Rapid Prototyping.
