Purpose: The main goal of this paper is that, the robot integrated manufacturing systems are more popular and useful in the industry. Moreover, the communication in those systems might be realized by many different data exchange solutions. Using this kind of solution causes the data exchange incompatibility. This paper deals with different ways in informatics connection of all of the components in robot integrated manufacturing system. Design/methodology/approach: Incompatibility is a result of usage many different communication systems between components in lathe center. The way of mutual signal connections were the target of researches. Findings: As a result of scientific work, the universal and compatible informatics connection system of the robot lathe center was created. Research limitations/implications: The project of the data exchange system is confined to PROFIBUS DP lan. Practical implications: The result of the researches was developing a technical element choice procedure of the data exchange depending on transport means quantity and system composition in the robot lathe system. Originality/value: This is a brand new paper, which describes internal systems of data exchange in robot integrated manufacturing system in example of automatic lathe center.

Purpose: Purpose of this paper is the definition of a framework to describe the Technological Product Specifications (TPS) and the information associated with the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing to integrate the design concepts into a commercial inspection system. Design/methodology/approach: A functional tolerance model provides a complete framework to define the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing and its relationship with the part geometry and the inspection process. This framework establishes a connection between a computer aided design and computer aided inspection system throughout the exportation of the information associated to the dimensions and tolerance of the part into a commercial CAI system. Findings: They are mainly focused on the definition of a framework that describes the relationship between the entities of dimensions and tolerances with the geometry of the part. The information imported to a CAI system allows to develop the inspection process without the additional information provided by a physical drawing of the part. Research limitations/implications: They regard the limited access to commercial CAI system and to the lack of protocols of exchange of data associated to the tolerances of the part. Practical implications: They involve facilitation of the inspection process development. This implication allows realizing the inspection process reducing the time spent to define the geometry to inspect and the parameters that must be controlled. Originality/value: The main value of this research is the development of a unique framework to extract the information related to the geometric dimensioning and tolerances and the geometry of the part in a common model. This model provides a complete definition and representation of the entities, attributes and relationship of design and inspection system.

Purpose: The present paper describes a knowledge-based system (KBS) developed for selection of progressive die components to automate the design process of progressive dies in stamping industries. Design/methodology/approach: The production rule based KBS approach of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been utilized for constructing the proposed system. The system has been structured into seven KBS modules. Modules are user interactive and designed to be loaded in to the prompt area of AutoCAD. Findings: The output of system modules includes the type and proper dimensions of progressive die components namely die block, die gauges (front spacer and back gauge), stripper, punches, punch plate, back plate, die-set and fasteners. The system has been designed in such a way that the expert advices imparted by its modules are automatically stored in different output data files. These data files can be further utilized for automatic modeling of die components and die assembly. Research limitations/implications: Altough the system is limited to the design of progressive dies only, yet it can be extended further for the design of other types of dies also. Practical implications: The proposed system is ready for use in sheet metal industries for quick selection of progressive die components. The system can be implemented on a PC having AutoCAD software and therefore its low cost of implementation makes it affordable by small and medium sized stamping industries. Originality/value: The proposed system is capable of accomplishing the time-consuming task of selection of progressive die components in a very short time period.

Purpose: Purpose of this paper is present a detailed framework to integrate the Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Inspection (CAI) systems through the integration of the Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) with the inspection process in coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Design/methodology/approach: The approach used to develop a prototype of a Knowledge Based System (KBS) applied to inspection process establishes a new methodology for integrate the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). The integration is achieved through the definition of the knowledge units for functional properties of GD&T, inspection resources and inspection operations in a common knowledge model. The manufacturing and processing applications are the main topics approach of this paper. Findings: The findings are focused in modeling the features and interactions between knowledge units associated to topology, geometry and tolerances with the inspection process activities. The implementation of the product knowledge model is presented in a computer platform that extracts and represents the GD&T information in a CAI system. Research limitations/implications: The implications are focused on the automation of the inspection process in a KBS application. The future research is focused on the use of artificial intelligent technique, such as genetic algorithms and neural networks, to optimize the time to execute the inspection process. Practical implications: The main outcomes and implication of the KBS prototype application are focused on the reduction of the time spend to develop the inspection process. This KBS application provides the needed information to elaborate this process without the human interface. Originality/value: The original value of this paper is the integration of the design and inspection specification in a unique prototype application. The knowledge model has been defined in a common modeling language (UML) and can be implemented in different informatics platforms.
