Efficient Modelling and Simulation of Reconfigurable Machine Tools Using Predefined Structural Modules (original) (raw)

3 Abstract: Modelling and simulation are crucial techniques for the success of recon- figurable machine tools as manufacturing devices. This paper treats the effi- cient modelling and analysis of different machine configurations using en- capsulated submodels, called predefined structural module models. The focus of the presented research lies on the automated generation of the simulation model and on the reliability of the obtained results. The paper gives an over- view of the underlying modelling methodology. It describes the procedure for obtaining a machine model using predefined modules and for analysing it. The development of physical prototype modules is discussed. These are meant to allow the validation of the proposed reconfiguration procedure.
