An arrangement of machines(usually numerical control machining centers with tool changers) interconnected by a transport system. The transporter carries work to the machines on pallets or other interface units so that work-machine registration is accurate, rapid and automatic. A central computer controls both machines and transport system. 3, record 1, English, - flexible%20manufacturing%20system

La terminologie employée pour désigner les ateliers flexibles met l'accent sur la souplesse demandée au système : aux États-Unis, le terme consacré est celui de «flexible manufacturing system» (FMS), mais on parle aussi de «computer integrated manufacturing system» (CIM), de «variable emission system» (VMS), ou de «variable manufacturing mission» (VMM). Ces sigles correspondent aux produits de certains constructeurs : FMS est une marque déposée de Kearney & Trecker, VMS-VMM de Cincinnati-Milacron. Au Japon, on utilise les termes de «flexible automation», «flexible manufacturing system complex»; en Italie, de «flexible work system» (FWS); en République fédérale d'Allemagne, de «computer integrated and automated manufacturing system» (CIAM) ou de système de fabrication flexible (SFF). 4, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20flexible%20robotis%C3%A9

The closed loop system is similar to the open loop system with the exception that a feedback unit is introduced in the electrical circuit. This feedback unit, generally called a transducer, compares the amount the machine table has been moved by the servo motor with the signal sent by the control unit. The control unit instructs the servo motor to make whatever adjustments are necessary until both the signal from the control unit and the one from the servo unit are equal.... Closed loop numerical control systems are very accurate because the accuracy of the command signal is recorded and there is an automatic compensation for error. 1, record 2, English, - Closed%20loop%20numerical%20control%20system
