Because of the breadth of the field there is always a steady demand for mechanical engineers. Some of the graduates have also used their mechanical engineering education as a springboard to medicine, management, or other careers. The Mechanical Engineering undergraduate program is broadly based and covers all of the important areas of mechanical engineering: mechanics, materials, energy, machines, fluid dynamics, controls, and manufacturing. A strong curriculum with lots of design and hands-on laboratory work.

Title : “Tool management system in Flexible Manufacturing Environment” 

Introduction:

High machine utilization, high manufacturing flexibility and reliable adaptive control are key factors in a flexible manufacturing system (FUMS). With the increase in automation and use of computer control in machine tools, the number of cutting tools per machining setup is on the increase. On one hand, such multi-tool setups offer the advantages of reduced down-time and cost of production and require less space and in-process inventory, and on the other hand, require proper tool management for economic operations. A number of strategies have been devised to solve the tool selection problems and a number of tool replacement policies have been proposed in the past. These strategies have been solved in isolation, whereas, a comprehensive algorithm for proper selection of tools out of those available in the tool magazine for performing operation and for replacement of tools on failure/wear is necessary.

Tool management is a key issue in this type of manufacturing cells. In fact, a machine is in a waiting state, after the execution of the first operation of a part program, whenever the tool required in order to begin one of the following operations is engaged, because it is in use on the other machine or it is on the way in the tool handling system.

Some Research studies and industrial cases have demonstrated that using tool management concepts could maximize machine utilization, shorten make span, minimize tool inventory and save tooling cost; however, no simple tool management rules can be directly used in real-life cases of a FMS.

Research objectives:

·        The main objective is to provide basis for the development of general Tool Management System (TMS) for Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS).

·        To maximize the tool performance and utilization.

·        To reduce the tool change over time and tool cost.

·        To reduce tool inventory in FMS.
