Modern Flexible Manufacturing Cell (FMC), Build by Retrofitting at Oradea University

Abstract:

The Faculty IMT (Technological and Managing Engineering into mechanic domain) from Oradea University decided to develop by retrofitting activity one old second hand Horizontal Machining Centre from the Laboratory, in order to obtain the newest level as the most economic investment, able to answer at the educational conditions, according to the academic curriculum for bachelor, master and even PhD levels. The retrofitting activity was based on Fanuc components (CNC, AC drives & servomotors, PLC, measuring system, etc) on the basic machine, but also the machine CNC extension to “five axes machining concept”, having now more supplementary two CNC axes. On the other hand, the machine extension from machining centre to flexible cell, introduced new components as: load station, internal transport system by conveyor, Regal lager, two robots (able to assure the flow of resources).
