Unit 26 Flexible Machining System（柔性制造系统） A flexible machining system (FMS) is a system of CNC machines, robots, and part transfer vehicles that can take a part from raw stock or casting and perform all necessary machining, part handling, and inspection operations to make a finished part or assembly. 柔性制造系统是数控机床、机器人及工件运输装置的集成系统，该系统能从原料或粗铸件开始，完成所有必要的加工、零件处理和检测，最终形成一个完整的零件或组件。 It is an entire unmanned, software-based, manufacturing/assembly line. An FMS consists of four major components: the CNC machines, coordinate measuring machines, part handling and assembly robots, and part/tool transfer vehicles.(Fig.26-1) 它完全是一个基于软件的全自动无人生产/装配线。一个柔性制造系统由四个主要部分组成：数控机床、坐标测量机、零件处理与装配机器人、零件/刀具运输装置。 The main element in an FMS is the CNC machining or turning center. The automatic tool changing capability of these machines allows them to run untended, given the proper support system. 柔性制造系统中的主要部分是数控加工中心或车削中心。如果配置适当支持系统，这些机床的自动换刀功能就能使机床在无人管理之下运行。 Tool monitoring systems built into CNC machine are used to detect and replace worn tools. The major obstacles in an FMS are not the machining centers but the support systems for the machines, such as part load/unload and part transfer. 数控机床内部的刀具监测系统是用来监测和更换已磨损刀具的。柔性制造系统的主要问题不是出在加工中心上，而是出在机床的支持系统，如零件的装卸和运输等。 Inspection in an FMS is accomplished through the use of coordinate measuring machines. These operate much like CNC machinery in that they are programmed to move to different positions on a workpiece. 柔性制造系统的检测功能是由坐标测量机来完成的。坐标测量机的运作与数控机床类似，人们用程序控制坐标测量机移动到工件的不同位置。in that表示在??????方面。 Instead of using a rotating spindle and a cutting tool, a coordinate measuring machine is equipped with electronic gaging probes which measure features on a workpiece .The results of the gaging are compared to acceptable limits programmed into the machine. 与数控机床有所不同，坐标测量机不用旋转主轴和切削刀具，而是用测量工件参数的电子探头来测量工件。测量结果要和预先设定在机器中认可的极限值进行比较。 Robots are frequently used in an FMS to load an
