Flexible Manufacturing (FMS) System isan integrated, computer controlled, automated manufacturing system that coversmaterial handling system, CNC machine tools, inspection storage and retrievalsystem that can simultaneously process medium sized volumes of variety ofparts. The system can be further expanded to computer integrated manufacturing(CIM) system by addition of conveyor system, co-ordinate measuring machine(CMM), automated guided vehicle (AGV) and assembly automation system. Built on the foremost integral principles of any manufacturing system, MTAB-FMSis designed to be flexible, modular, expandable and affordable. MTAB FMSis configured with the equipment shown in tabular form. The FMS can be controlledusing PLC based HMI (Touch Screen) , PLC based SCADA or Cell controller andsoftware Academic institutions are keeping pace with manufacturingtechnology, updating their labs with latest manufacturing technologytrends. However, the potential advantage of FMS is accompanied withits drawback, namely technical investment by colleges, universities,technical training institutes, etc. Hence to make FMS a reality foracademics and small parts production, MTAB has developed an affordableFMS.
