Despite increasing automation levels and digital solutions, production systems still very much rely on the inescapable contribution of the human factor. The changing relationship between man, the technological system and the organization framework together with the increased complexity result in high risks for workers' safety and their...

This paper presents a control system to assemble hybrid micro-components with a micro-factory. The assembly system is based on image processing techniques that feed relevant information to an automata based control system. The scene containing the micro-components that must be assembled is analysed taking advantage of the finite number of...

Board of Mechanical Engineering of La Spezia Surface micro-geometry is a very important source of information about the chip removal process. Cutting processes are inherently non-stationary due to irreversible changes of the cutting tool geometry. The diffraction patterns obtained by a laser beam illuminating the surface of a workpiece during...

This paper presents a control system to assemble hybrid micro-components with a micro-factory. The system is based on image processing techniques that feed relevant information to an automata based control sub-system. The scene containing the micro-components that must be assembled is analysed taking advantage of the finite number of typologies...

This paper presents a hybrid process chain for efficiently machining hard silicon nitride. The process includes a laser treatment phase to weaken the material, followed by diamond grinding. Optimized laser parameters have been identified to control the generation of a network of cracks that weakens the volume of material to be ground....

L'articolo esamina l'evoluzione storica dell'organizzazione della produzione industriale ed esamina le motivazioni alla base delle scelte organizzative per la gestione della produzione industriale

Reverse engineering technologies are nowadays increasingly used in many industrial applications, notably to cut products developing time and reduce time to market. In this paper a comparison between a conoscopic non-contact 3D probe and an active piezoelectric contact sensor is presented

The adhesion process depends on the mechanical and chemical characteristics of surfaces, therefore the pretraitment of the bonding area has a great importance in industrial application of metal gluing. The study analyses the importance on the bond quality of the microgeometric parameters which describe the surfaces. Both periodic and random...

The paper investigates the degree of complexity of the information necessary to express the features characterizing products and resources in manufacturing. The analysis outlines the syntactic and semantic constraints present in manufacturing.

Engineered surfaces obtained by modification of surface topography have important industrial applications, many involving tribology. Nevertheless there is still lack of knowledge about fundamental aspects involved in the improvement of surface behaviour. Recent technological developments now permit us to texture surfaces in a flexible way and...
