Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) are generally set up to process a wide variety of parts with low to medium volume demand. The loading problem in FMS is a short-term decision issue, which addresses the simultaneous processing of a set of different parts in an efficient manner on capital-intensive resources. This study focuses on cyclic schedules in loading pallets carrying groups of identical parts to CNC machining centers. A predefined stream of pallets fixtured for different part types is repeatedly supplied to every CNC machine in cycles. Moreover, a limited number of pallets have to be shared among the cycles of machines to keep utilization and the overall throughput rate at acceptably high levels. The solution approach is an integrated mix of optimization and simulation methodologies. The validation of the model is based on data from past 6 months of operation. Comparisons are made retrospectively.

3D FEM simulation of steel quenching and investigation of the effect of asymmetric geometry on residual stress distribution Simsir, Caner; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Elsevier BV, 2008-10-16) During quench hardening of steel components, obtaining the desired distribution of microstructure and residual stresses with minimum distortion is essential in order to achieve production goals and reliable service performance. In this study, a 3D FEM based model, which is integrated into commercial FEA software Msc.Marc (R) via user subroutines, has been developed to predict temperature history, evolution of microstructure and internal stresses during quenching. For experimental verification, eccentrically...
PREDICTION OF SURFACE RESIDUAL STRESSES IN BUTT-WELDED STEEL PLATES BY MAGNETIC BARKHAUSEN NOISE ANALYSIS Gür, Cemil Hakan; Yelbay, Hasan İlker; Çam, İbrahim (2010-06-11) Residual stresses have significant inflences on the service performance of the welded components. Various studies have been continuing to develop nondestructive methods for determination of residual stresses with portable equipment and short measurement time, as an alternative to the existing techniques such as X-ray diffraction. This study aims to investigate the applicability of Magnetic Barkhausen Noise method on predicting surface residual stresses in the welded steel plates.
Order-Preserving Languages for the Supervisory Control of Automated Manufacturing Systems Nooruldeen, Anas; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-01-01) Automated manufacturing systems (AMSs) consist of computer-controlled interconnected manufacturing components (MCs) that are used to transport and process different product types. Each product type requires a certain sequence of processing steps in different MCs. Hereby, multiple product types can share processing steps on the same MC and the paths of different products types can overlap. In this paper we consider the modeling of AMSs in the scope of supervisory control for discrete event systems (DES). On ...
Computation of supervisors for reconfigurable machine tools Schmidt, Klaus Verner (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-06-01) 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 a necessary and sufficient condition for its solution. Moreove...
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...
