Research And Development, Of The Fms Tool Management System

With the constant development of the market economy and production, the request for the product quality , precision , performance , appearance , quality etc.is improving constantly , the increasingly shorter product replacement cycle, forcing people in the manufacturing sector began to explore new concepts and methods to guide and organize production.The emergence of FMS and it's applications is a successful solution of the drawbacks in manufacturing sector accounting for more than 70 percent of mechanical variety, and small and medium volume production of low efficiency, high costs and poor quality. The FMS is well adapted to the characteristics of shorter product life cycles, intense market competition and user's requirements diversified demand.The unenlightened tool management of FMS is becoming the bottleneck which badly restrict the productivity improve and the increase of machining variety. How to availably manage the more diversiform tools becoming a new problem companies have to faced with.This paper takes the framework of Tool Management System as the basis and developes the Tool Management System for the FMS of Kunming Yunnei Power Co.Ltd according with the actual demand of enterprise's tool management. This paper based on the summarize of FMS technology and the international research actuality of tool management, discuss the key problems, systems design and implementation etc. in system's exploitage in detail, with the main and research results are as follows:(1).Summary of the manufacturing industry information, FMS's basic theory, introduced in FMS tool management and the importance of research situation.(2).Research about key technology of tool management , including the following: introduction of FMS in the types and characteristics, analysis of knives and cutting tools with traditional NC tool characteristics, studying the reliability of the tool and giving advice to Cloud Tool to increase reliability and make recommendations on the use of knives coding system, introducing the realization of coding and editor of coding on the system using,introducing the tool life monitoring method in our management system,studying sensing principles and main features of the various tool wear and breakage monitoring methods at present, introducing the use of policies in inventory management system.(3) Description of the part of technology on tool Management System: On the foundation of traditional theory of Tool Management and according to the actual demand of enterprise's tool management, this paper proposes the thought and method of Tool's Whole Life Cycle Management, greatly enriched the content management tool, analysing the typical configuration of equipment in tool management, and taking equipment configuration of the system as an example of the analysis, introduction of Management Mode on the Tool Management System.(4) Tool information database was constructed.It was in troduced the design p rogress of tool database in server part. First, analyze tool information needs, construct tool informationmodel, then design database concept structure and logics tructure,at last constitute tool database by SQL Server 2000(5) Finishing tool management system software,which was based on the net work database,and has Client/Server structure that programmed by Visual Basic。After debugging operation, the system can complete tool management tool enquiries, statistical tool, a tool storage, tool operations, systems management, help seven modules.
