摘要
Machining tandem lines are widely used in industries to meet the high variety of customer demands. A novel flexible machining line named automated flexible machining line (AFML) based on a case company is introduced. AFML consists of several consecutive sectors and each sector is composed of multiple cells, and each cell is formed by one robot and multiple identical CNC (computer numerical control) machines. Mathematic model is represented with the objective to minimize the line cycle time. Branch and bound (B&B) algorithm is used to solve the automated flexible machining line balancing problem. Several test problems with different sizes are made, and solved by the proposed B&B. The results show the CPU time of B&B is increased when the size of the problem is increased, and B&B gives the same and stable result in ten times experimental runs of the same test problem.
