CIMflex Systems

CIMflex ─ the Ultimate in Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems (CIM) for Training and Education Changing dynamics in world competition has manufacturers looking for ways to increase productivity. Manufacturers are implementing new technologies, installing automated systems, and adapting new management techniques and ideas to distinguish their companies and products, in increasingly competitive markets. A common goal behind this push is to link and integrate all the manufacturing pieces together, into Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) systems. In today’s industry, one can find the most modern machines, such as CNC Mills, lathes or Machining Centers. Although computer controlled, they operate as standalone machines, with no synchronization with the rest of manufacturing processes. These machines are tended and supervised by human operators who coordinate between a specific machine and the rest of the production line. This situation of operating production lines using isolated work station is rapidly changing as the development of computer technology has enabled manufacturers to gain greater control over their critical manufacturing resources. Major change in production methods has begun with the introduction of Industrial robots into manufacturing processes. In order to successfully utilize a robot in a production line, a robot must be integrated with other machines it serves. As manufacturers increasingly bring CIM technologies into their organizations, so grows the need for technicians, programmers, engineers and managers who are knowledgeable and skilled in the design, installation, running and maintaining of CIM systems. Education plays a major role in supplying the skilled professionals for CIM systems. With Intelitek’s vast experience in the world of Automation for more than 25 years, and in keeping with its mission to bridge the gap between classroom and industry, Intelitek is offering its customers CIMflex system. CIMflex system offers sophisticated and flexible solutions for educating and training students in the principles and technologies of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM).

Intelitek OpenCIM software-the ultimate software tool for study and practice of Computer integrated Manufacturing. The OpenCIM software is Computer Integrated System and management software solution that contains all the elements found in modern, fully computerized factories:

 Shop floor management-controls the operation of all the elements of automated factory.  Administrative software-Links with the shop floor management to connect the production facility to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) The OpenCIM software contains an ERP package which breaks down customer orders to analyze bill of materials, check availability of raw materials, produce vendor’s purchase order and schedule production based on expected lead times.

OpenCIM Manager The OpenCIM manager supervises the entire CIM processes, overseeing the operation of all the CIM elements, ensuring that they are working in full concert with one another for optimum performance. The OpenCIM manager is responsible for controlling WHAT to manufacture, WHEN to schedule production, and the quantity of products to be produced. The OpenCIM manager is also responsible to communicating via the Local Area Network (LAN) between file servers containing files and other information vital to the production processes. As in industrial CIM systems, the OpenCIM manager receives and presents students with multiple reports on the status of the manufacturing processes, throughout the CIM system. These reports are graphically displayed and include:

 Device view – a real time report on the current status of each CIM element, such as robots, CNC machines, Quality Control (QC) devices (such as Machine Vision System, etc.), Conveyors, ASRS, etc.

Closed Loop Conveyor Product Bundle

CNV-4840x1400

Bundle Description

Pallet Conveyor Max. 7 Stations (4840mm x 1400mm)

Function

Conveyor with continuously moving belt to transport part/template-carrying pallets.

Detailed Function Description

The conveyor frame is constructed of extruded, black anodized aluminum, and its moving belt is a double flexible-chain rail. To maximize efficiency of part conveyance in the CIM system, pallets are not removed from the conveyor. Instead, the pallets carry part templates (holders) that are loaded and unloaded at each station by robots and manipulators. The pallets are thus free to transport parts and materials to and from any CIM station. Magnetic codes embedded on the underside of the pallets enable tracking. To achieve a proper pallet tracking function the following additional products (not included in this bundle) are required: Conveyor stops alongside each CIM workstation include magnetic sensors for pallet detection and pneumatic pistons for halting and releasing the pallets. A PLC control unit monitors and manages the flow of pallets on the CIM conveyor.

434007

Welder package and MIG+Gun (115v)

The Automated Welding station is a turnkey solution for teaching automated welding processes. The workstation allows fully-automatic welding operations both in stand-alone configurations as well as within CIM systems. When integrated within a CIM system the welding workcell performs complete task cycles, such as unloading templates from the CIM conveyor to station buffer, arc welding, and returning the welded part to the conveyor for further processing. The station includes a 6-axis vertically articulated robot, a MIG welder, software, welding and robotic accessories and sample application. It also includes a welding gun holder that enables alternating use of the robot gripper and the welding torch during program execution. The booth has safety doors on both sides. One door is manually operated and permits teachers and students access to the booth for programming tasks and stand-alone welding applications. When the welding workstation is integrated in a CIM system the other door is pneumatically operated and enables robot access to the CIM conveyor for loading and unloading of part templates. Opening any of the doors activates sensors that automatically halt both robotic and welding operations. Pressing any of the emergency stop buttons also halts all operations immediately. The system complies with ANSI radiation standard Z87.1-1989. The robotic welding workbench is enclosed within a fire retardant metal booth that has ten filter-plated windows for UV and eye protection.
