Flexible Manufacturing Systems

Flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is a form of flexible automation in which several machine tools are linked together by a material-handling system, and all aspects of the system are controlled by the central computer.

An FMS is distinguished from an automated production line by its ability to process more than one product style simultaneously. At any moment each machine in the system may be processing a different part type. An FMS can also cope with changes in product mix and production schedule as demand patterns for the different products made on the system changeover time. New product styles can be introduced into production with an FMS so long as they fall within the range of the products that the system is designed to process. This kind of system is therefore ideal when demand for the products is low to medium and there are likely to be changes in demand.

The components of an FMS are: (1) processing machines, which are usually CNC machine tools that perform machining operations, although other types of automated workstations such as inspection stations are also possible, (2) a material -handling system, such as a conveyor system, which is capable of delivering work parts to any machine in the FMS, and (3) a central computer system, that is responsible for communicating NC part programs to each machine and for coordinating the activities of the machines and the material-handling system. In addition, the fourth component of an FMS is (4) human labour. Although the flexible manufacturing system represents a high level of production automation, people are still needed to manage the system, to load and unload the parts, to change the tools, and to maintain and repair the equipment.
