Abstract

ABSTRACT
The flexible manufacturing system contains some CNC machine tools supported by
industrial robot for material handling. This system is designed to manufacturing a group
of similar workpieces. The system is characterized by its internal material and
information flow. The manufacturing process represents a complex dynamical process
included technological, manipulation and control operations.
