Abstract

This paper describes two FMS, which were developed by SAEIL Heavy Industries. One is FMS for machining of circular parts, that are automobile's axle shafts. This system consists of 13 units, including 7 CNC machine tools. The other is FMS for machining of non-circular parts namely casted or steel block within size of 1.2 X 1.2 X 1.5m. This FMS consists of 8-machining centers, 1-automated warehouse, 2-unmanned Robo Trailers, and computer control room.
