Oriented Applied Research And Development Of The Fms Tool Management System

As a primary instrument dealing with the more rivalrousness market, FMS become more widely use in many countries especially in developed countries. Along with the more use of many big companies, the request of flexible in FMS become higher, and it comes forth more and more of kinds and specs of CNC tools. The unenlightened tool management is becoming the bottleneck witch badly restrict the productivity improve and the increase of machining kinds in FMS. How to availably manage the more diversiform tools becoming a new problem companies faced with.This paper based on the summarize of FMS technology and the international research actuality of tool management, and expatiates the tool flow and the information flow in FMS, and centre on the research of several key technologies such as tool coding and identify and tool allocation and scheduling, and designs the frame of the tool management system, and develops the main functions of the system.The following are the main working and research achievements of this paper:(1)Summarizes the basal theory of FMS, and analyzes the necessary and the international research actuality of tool management;(2)Introduces the tool instance in FMS, and analyzes the tool slow and tool information slow, and then introduces the tool instance of the flexible line of Kunming Yunnei Power Co., LTD.(3)Studies the tool coding and identify problem, builds a coding system in allusion to Kunming Yunnei Power Co., LTD, and puts forward the solve project of relevant tool identify problem.(4)Studies the tool allocation and scheduling problem, choices the tool allocation and scheduling strategy which adapt to the flexible line of Kunming Yunnei Power Co., LTD, bases on the existing tool allocation and scheduling strategies.(5)Develops a tool management system named Tool Manager 1.0 by VB 6.0 and SQL Server 2000, and actualizes the main functions of the system.
