Emulation of modular manufacturing machines
conference contribution
posted on 2013-12-05, 09:12 authored by Keith Case, C.D. Wright, X.T. YanA method for geometrically modelling and emulating modular machines based on the Universal Machine Control
reference architecture is described. Geometric modelling is achieved through extensions to a proprietary robot
simulation system. A library of modules consisting of 1, 2 or 3 degree of freedom manipulators is used to construct
models of multi-degree of freedom distributed machines with appropriate kinematic characteristics. Logging of data
from the real or emulated control handlers is then used to drive the geometric model. A case study of a printed circuit
board assembly machine is used to demonstrate how this approach allows the investigation of machine performance
before and during the building of the machine with real hardware elements.
