Compound Features

A compound feature is a combination of single features. Compound
features handle the situation in which a large single feature contains certain
smaller attached single features. On the other hand, from the manufacturing
point of view, compound features can be defined as features that intersect
with each other. Therefore, the machining sequence may or may not affect
the machining of the other feature.

Inspection Planning

A popular manufacturing development is error free six-sigma
manufacturing which seeks to ensure that bad parts are almost never
produced. Part inspection is vital for this goal not only to discard bad parts
but also to provide closed loop control on the quality of the products being
produced. Consequently, inspection planning is treated as an integral part of
manufacturing planning. Several research problems remain unresolved in
inspection planning. To decide which problem to concentrate on, it should
focus on the product characteristics with the greatest influence on a
product's performance. At the same time, it should avoid the cost of
inspecting characteristics with little significance. Inspection planning is
deeply involved with such product modeling issues as representations of
dimensions and tolerances, assembly relationships, and finally, with
functions and behaviors of physical configurations.

Generative Process Planning (GPP)

In the generative process planning (GPP) approach, the planning system
seeks to synthesize the process plan (N) directly. For machine-designed
objects, the distinctive approach is to perform the planning on the basis of a
feature by feature methodology by retrieving candidate processes from the
manufacturing knowledge repository, selecting the practical processes on the
basis of geometric and manufacturing information of the designed objects,
and merging the selected processes in a proper sequence.

Vision sensors

Enable a robot to see an object and generate
adjustments suitable for object manipulation; include dissectors,
flying-spot scanners, vidicons, orthicons, plumbicons,
and charge-coupled devices.
