Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMSs) are designed to quickly adapt to new products and production requirements. To this end, RMSs need to be able to perform fast changes between different configurations. This paper investigates the reconfiguration of RMSs in a supervisory control framework. Different from previous work, we formulate and solve a reconfiguration problem that allows to start a newly requested configuration before the previously active configuration has been completed. Our solution is optimal in the sense that there is no other solution that enables an earlier start of the new configuration. The practicability of the proposed solution is demonstrated by a small RMS example.

Hierarchical and modular control of reconfigurable manufacturing systems Arslan, Övül; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-2-11) Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) were introduced as a new manufacturing concept for rapidly adjusting the production capacity and functionality of manufacturing systems. Hereby, the control of RMS requires realizing each desired configuration and changing between configurations on request, whereby a suitable design approach should scale to large-scale systems. In this thesis, we develop a controller design method for RMS that supports modular design and is scalable to RMS of large size. As the f...
Computation of supervisors for reconfigurable machine tools Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2012-01-01) The rapid reconfiguration of manufacturing systems is an important issue in today's manufacturing technology in order to adjust the production to varying product demands and types. In this paper, we study the control of reconfigurable machine tools (RMTs) with the aim of fast reconfiguration and an easy controller implementation. We first formulate a particular reconfiguration problem for RMTs in a discrete event system setting, and then provide necessary and sufficient conditions for its solution. Moreover...
Reconfigurability of behavioural specifications for manufacturing systems Schmidt, Klaus Verner (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01) Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) support flexibility in the product variety and the configuration of the manufacturing system itself in order to enable quick adjustments to new products and production requirements. As a consequence, an essential feature of RMS is their ability to rapidly modify the control strategy during run-time. In this paper, the particular problem of changing the specified operation of a RMS, whose logical behaviour is modelled as a finite state automaton, is addressed. The n...

Analytical modeling and stability analysis of spindle-holder-tool assembly by using spinning and non-spinning Timoshenko Beam Theories Yılmaz, Hasan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) Chatter in high speed machining is an important problem which affects the product quality and the manufacturing time. In order to determine the optimum cutting parameters such as depth of cut, feed rate, spinning speed etc., dynamic characteristics of the spindle-holder-tool assembly should be modeled accurately. To determine optimum depth of cut and operating speed, frequency response function (FRF) of the tool point is required. However, in high speed machining, due to high rotational speeds, dynamic char...
