This report describes how the latest technology in computing and interfacing has been used in a traditional manufacturing environment to integrate old stand-alone CNC machines, a FANUC robot, a conveyor and a Robot Positioning Device (RPD) into a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). Also described are the benefits that South African manufacturers still using old CNC machines could achieve if they implemented a similar process in their organisation. 2014-07-31T11:30:33Z 2014-07-31T11:30:33Z 2004 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5572 eng Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
