Abstract
The aim of the present work is the application ofsimulation techniques to the project of the handlingsystem of a semiautomatic line for the assembly ofelectrical switches. In particular, we have studied anAutomatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) transport system.The maximum assembly capacity is 48 units per hour:- Switches single-pole: 25%, 12 units;- Switches 2 poles: 25%, 12 units;- Switches 3 poles: 50%, 24 units.A main line has been designed in order to connect thefollowing stations:â?¢ An input station for the loading of components for theassembly of each kind of product;â?¢ Two machines for the preparation of subgroups;â?¢ A machine characterized by two stations: assemblingand testing of all products (physical, electrical andmagnetic);â?¢ Two final warehouses; one of finished products andanother of products sent back to the testing station by anoperator (inspector), through an handling system.We have a worker in each working centre.
