Abstract

Computerized Manufacturing Systems have been developed in order to deal with the growing specialization of modern products. These systems provide a capability to economically produce small to medium quantities of a wide variety of parts which demand exacting tolerances. Through the minimization of human interactions, these systems have provided engineers with a much stronger influence on productivity, quality control, and reliability.

The need to combine the flexibility and ease of set up of numerical controlled machining centers with the advantages of an automated transfer mechanism has given rise to one form of computerized manufacturing systems. One of these systems is of interest because of its ability to handle very large workpieces which must be machined to extremely close tolerances. This system was built by Sundstrand for operation at the Caterpillar Company in Peoria, Illinois.
