Flexible

In recent years, due to the continued progress of science and technology and people's consumption demand will continue to alienation, including automotive products, the types of product life cycles shorten the product replacement rate accelerated. This situation is forcing many enterprises embark on variety, small-batch production methods, in order to meet market demand variability and enhance the product in the market. This is less variety of lay the foundation for mass production, and pave the way for the standardisation activities posed a challenge. For Hyundai Motor Manufacturing flexible requirements, can be reconstructed through the machine tool industry, including machine tools, modular fixture fixture industry through such means as oil additives industry through the approach to deal with, and tool industry must also make this production trends response, which I think is a very important tool, modular design and modular manufacturing. We will be able to belong to the same functional unit, and install some components on the same (or modules), a group of modules, should have the same combination of elements (including installation and connection of the same forms), to ensure that the properties, uses and different internal structures module, in combination products that are interoperable. In this way, when the auto parts factory structure, size, material has made some changes, we may be through the replacement of the module, which combined with the functional requirements of the new tool to address the changes in the motor vehicle manufacturer demand. Figure 8 is a German company Walter modular cutter, the original allocation can be used by different knife blade and a pad of the former angle, the angle of a series of factories to adapt quickly to changes in the market, Manufacturing new products provide a technical possibility. This modular tool system can be used for all different occasions degree of automation, from the application of general milling machine, milling machine dedicated to the complex machining center and flexible production lines. And the use of other tool than the variability of the system is very strong. In recent years, with the development of tool technology, the new blade type, or even cutting blade type concept developed times, they also introduced a corresponding new module, the system users can only module can be replaced through the use of new tools technology, users also reduce the investment to accelerate the pace of the use of new technologies.
