FLEXIBILITY APPROACH TO EFFECTIVE INCREASING OF ASSEMBLY CELL.

Flexible manufacturing cell is manufacturing system consists' of several NC machines. They are dedicated for correct workpieces group with similar operations series or for concrete type of operations. Characteristic feature of cell is mutual material and information connecting between machines. According to manufacturing process, the manufacturing assembly cell is possible to divide to three subsystems: technological, operating, controlling. By potential modification of flexible assembly cell configuration of elements according to determinate material flow is possible to increase its' effectiveness. In modifications of configurations is necessary to ensure: observance of asked volume of manufacturing, achieving of balanced cycle of all operations, minimisation of costs for space and energy, minimisation of manufacturing and assembly process operations, optimum automation of manufacturing system.
