Question

Which of the following options represents the FMS system?

(A) Adaptive control

(B) Computer group control 

(C) Flexible manufacturing system

(D) Computer numerical control system 

Answer 1

Answer: (C) Flexible manufacturing systems.

Answer analysis:

FMS system is the abbreviation of Flexible Manufacturing System.

The flexible manufacturing system is composed of a unified information control system, a material storage and transportation system and several numerical control equipment, which can adapt to the transformation of processing objects as an intelligent automated electromechanical manufacturing system.

Flexible manufacturing systems have central computer-controlled machine tools and transmission systems, sometimes processing several different parts at the same time.

A group of machines arranged in order, connected by automatic loading and unloading and conveyor machines and integrated by computer systems, raw materials and OEM parts are loaded and unloaded on the parts transfer system, and the parts are processed on one machine and then transmitted to the next machine, each machine accepts operating instructions, automatically loads and unloads the required tools, without manual participation.

Answer 2

Flexible Manufacturing System

Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) is a highly automated and highly integrated manufacturing system that can adapt to changing production needs and production environments, and realize rapid production and processing of a variety of products.

Features and functions:

High flexibility: FMS can flexibly respond to different types of production needs and is suitable for medium and small batches and multi-variety electromechanical product processing.

Automation: Through the centralized control of computers and their software, the automation of the processing process is realized, including automatic loading, processing, unloading, etc.

Integration: The system integrates multiple CNC machine tools, machining centers, automatic warehouses and conveying systems to form a complete manufacturing process.

Efficiency: By optimizing the production process and equipment layout, the production efficiency is improved and the production cost is reduced.

Application areas:

FMS is widely used in machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, aerospace and other fields, providing efficient and flexible production solutions for these industries.
