What is this course about? Manufacturing Systems, automation, robotics Context: manufacturing systems Subject: robots and automation handout 1: ME 460
Manufacturing Systems Logics of presentation: System Manufacturing system manufacturing system classification handout 1: ME 460
System A set of components that are connected in a way to perform a task in an environment, which fulfills a mission. Example Components are: drive, frame, ram, bed, etc. They are connected in a definite way to perform a task or function handout 1: ME 460
Manufacturing system A system that has an input of material and has an output of material or part, and the output material differs from the output material in a certain area that is meaningful. Input Output Example handout 1: ME 460
Manufacturing system: classification Manufacturing systems have four levels: 1. Enterprise 2. Shop floor 3. Cell or line 4. Machine Enterprise: a system that has its own independent management. Shop floor: a sub-system of an enterprise where manufacturing activities are carried out. Cell or line: a group of machines that produce a part. Machine: a single entity that changes the input material handout 1: ME 460
Manufacturing system: classification Manufacturing systems have four levels: 1. Enterprise 2. Shop floor 3. Cell or line 4. Machine Classification along the vertical direction: 1. Enterprise manufacturing systems 2. Shop floor manufacturing system 3. Cell or line manufacturing system 4. Machine manufacturing system handout 1: ME 460
Manufacturing system: classification • Manufacturing systems: classification in the horizontal direction: • Various types of • Enterprise manufacturing system, • Shop floor manufacturing system, • Cell or line manufacturing system, and • Machine manufacturing system • Examples of the different types of machine manufacturing system are: lathe, milling, drilling, etc. handout 1: ME 460

Automation and robots Logics of presentation: Automation Robots handout 1: ME 460
Automation • Perform functions using machines without human actions. • Automation can be classified into two types: • Soft automation (information flow automation) • Hard automation (material flow automation) Robots Machines that their functions or operations can be reprogrammable; that is, the change of codes can lead to the change of machines’ functions handout 1: ME 460
Summary • We have discussed: • Manufacturing systems • Automation • Robots handout 1: ME 460
