CIM Setup:

The Integration of the total manufacturing enterprise through the use of integrated systems and data communications coupled with new managerial philosophies that improve organizational and manufacturing efficiency.

CIM Setup Comprises of:

CNC Lathe Trainer with Loading Arm
CNC Mill Trainer with Loading Arm
ASRS
Automated Guided Vehicle
Pallet Conveyors
Assembly Station
Vision Inspection System ( Quality Control Station )
6 Axis Robot
SCARA Robot
Cordinate Meausrment Machine
Electronic Height Gauge

Software Architecture:

Interfaces with a variety of machines and robots by means of device drivers (small interface programs that translate and transmit messages between the CIM manager and the machines at CIM stations).

Stores all data in standard industrial database format, allowing easy access and manipulation on any level. Data files can be read by any Windows application (e.g., Excel, Access, MS-SQL) and exported to any other application. Easily imports and uses data files from external applications.

Integration of System and Technologies:

Material storage and feeding (ASRS, feeders, palletizing racks)
Material handling (robots, conveyors, slidebases, pneumatic transfer units, Positioning tables,vises, end effectors and tool changers)
CNC machining (turning, milling, engraving, automatic tool changers)
Pneumatic and hydraulic systems (manipulators, Chucks, feeders, vises)
Identification, detection and tracking (RFID scanning, pallet tracking, sensors, Switches)
Quality control (machine vision, coordinate measuring machine, electronic height Gauge)
Vision Inspection System ( Quality Control Station )
Programmable logic controllers (PLC)

Dynamic 3D Graphic Simulation:

Fully functional, dynamic 3D simulation module
Accurately simulates operations and movements of machines, robots and peripheral axes, including components such as safety Doors, chucks and spindles
Accurately simulates part transportation and manipulation, including movement of pallets on conveyor and supply of parts from storage cells and feeders
Accurately simulates manufacturing processing, including milling, turning, engraving
View control: zoom in and out, rotate (pan), view from above, below and any angle in between; camera redirect (reset camera's focal point), drag camera
Improves comprehension of CIM management and manufacturing processes by viewing 3D graphic dynamic on-screen simulations
Allows programming and operation of the CIM system without causing damage to actual equipment or disrupting operation of the actual CIM cell
Enables experimentation with CIM cells in which some components actually operate while others are simulated
