Abstract

Virtual flexible manufacturing system(Abbrev. FMS) is composed of NC machining equipment, material handling system and computer control system, which can effectively adjust manufacturing scheme according to variation of product task and production environment to optimize manufacturing process plan. Based on structure analyses of flexible Manufacturing System, this paper builds the framework of virtual flexible manufacturing system. On the basis of research, some components which are constructed with the method of object-oriented, are used to plan the virtual Flexible Manufacturing System according to different work piece and its machining process, with which we can evaluate our machining plan. Equipments of FMS are also divided into several functional parts, which are modeled from geometric and kinematic method. Under the different condition of machining process, the actions of different equipment components, which are triggered with multi-timer style and harmonized with each others in good order, are also tested and verified in OPENGL-based virtual manufacturing environment, the result shows that we can obtain a satisfied process plan.
