Overview of Automation Production Systems & CIM 4e(A Book

Automation, Production Systems and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing provides the most advanced, comprehensive and balanced coverage of the subject of any text on the market. It covers all the major cutting-edge technologies of production automation and material handling and how these technologies are used to construct modern manufacturing systems. It is appropriate for advanced undergraduate/graduate-level courses in Automation, Production Systems and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing. Features: A quantitative approach provides numerous equations and example problems for instructors who want to include analytical and quantitative material in their courses. What the Equations Tell Us?? statements follow the mathematical derivations and engineering equations. These statements list the practical meanings of the equations and guidelines regarding applications. New to this Edition: Two new robot configurations have been added in Chapter 8. A section on programmable automation controllers has been included in Chapter 9. The section on AGVS technologies has been updated in Chapter 10. The organization of the text has been substantially revised in Chapter 18 with a new section on performance metrics in cell operations. Sections on mass customization, reconfigurable manufacturing systems and agile manufacturing have been added in Chapter 19. The section on CAD has been updated in Chapter 23 so that it is consistent with modern industrial practice.Table of Contents Preface Chapter 1 Introduction Part I: Overview of Manufacturing Chapter 2 Manufacturing Operations Chapter 3 Manufacturing Metrics and Economics Appendix 3A: Averaging Formulas for Equation (3.20) Part II: Automation and Control Technologies Chapter 4 Introduction to Automation Chapter 5 Industrial Control Systems Chapter 6 Hardware Components for Automation and Process Control Chapter 7 Computer Numerical Control Appendix 7A: Coding for Manual Part Programming Chapter 8 Industrial Robotics Chapter 9 Discrete Control and Programmable Logic Controllers Part III: Material Handling and Identification Chapter 10 Material Transport Systems Chapter 11 Storage Systems Chapter 12 Automatic Identification and Data Capture Part IV: Manufacturing Systems Chapter 13 Overview of Manufacturing Systems Chapter 14 Single-Station Manufacturing Cells Chapter 15 Manual Assembly Lines Appendix 15A: Batch-Model and Mixed-Model Lines Chapter 16 Automated Production Lines Appendix 16A: Transfer Lines with Internal Storage Chapter 17 Automated Assembly Systems Chapter 18 Group Technology and Cellular Manufacturing Appendix 18A: Opitz Parts Classification and Coding System Chapter 19 Flexible Manufacturing Cells and Systems Part V: Quality Control Systems Chapter 20 Quality Programs for Manufacturing Appendix 20A: The Six Sigma DMAIC Procedure Chapter 21 Inspection Principles and Practices Chapter 22 Inspection Technologies Appendix 22A: Geometric Feature Construction Part VI: Manufacturing Support Systems Chapter 23 Product Design and CAD/CAM in the Production System Chapter 24 Process Planning and Concurrent Engineering Chapter 25 Production Planning and Control Systems Chapter 26 Just-In-Time and Lean Production Appendix: Answers to Selected Problems Index
