Assembly-disassembly flexible lines and collaborative robots considered as hierarchical systems in temporal recurrent modelling

Abstract

This article proposes a temporal recurrent approch of hierarchical systems modeling, symplifing prevoius tools in thies area of th authors. The states of the systems are supposed known for system functioning at every occurence moment. In addition to them, appear external events for nonautonomus system sysncronisation {s i }, with transitions in Temporised Recurrent Petri Nets (TRecPN) model. The sysncronised signals are defined on an assembly of subsets, conditioned by the moment of occurence and the temporal interval when are expected in network. This approch permits an hierarchical approch on levels of Petri Net model. The refining process of the model is made on horisontal. In each place is a PN model, each one is linked with a distinct temporal interval represented by a syncronised signals subset. In an explected syncronised signal doesn't appears, the model functioning will be stoped. Each level is linked with a LIFO object placed on a lower level dedicated to the transfer of the last state reache by the system. In this context, two type of applications are proposed: a) recurrent detection function modelling; b) manufacturing system served by colaborative robots support.

Disassembly 4.0: A Review on Using Robotics in Disassembly Tasks as a Way of Automation

“…Concept papers by Jin et al or a process benchmark in respect of the overall cost by Yuksel et al and a paper on mathematical process modeling by Lee et al complement the papers with application examples or sensing technology also listed in this section , , , , , . Moreover, mobile robot applications in a manufacturing system with the possibility for disassembling defective parts directly are presented in the research of Minca et al , and others , all part of the same lab in Romania. Apart from 6‐axis robots, also Scara robots , and Cartesian robots are used in some concepts.…”

Mechanical Disassembly of End-of-Life Products

“…A common misconception is that it suffices to reverse the order of steps and stations in an assembly line to design the corresponding disassembly line. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate through a simple real-life problem that this premise is not correct, even under ideal conditions, and that disassembly lines have to be designed from scratch [6].…”
