Welcome to PCam.com's PCamCell, a powerful cell manager and a leading management software for automation of multiple machine tools with or without ATC, WPC. PCamCell is part of a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) or flexible manufacturing cell (FMC), designed to provide flexibility that allows the system to react in case of changes, whether predicted or unpredicted. PCamCell offers two categories of flexibility. The first is routing flexibility, which covers the system's ability to be changed to produce new product types and the ability to change the order of operations executed on a part. The second is machine flexibility, which consists of the ability to use multiple machines to perform the same operation on a part, as well as the system's ability to absorb large-scale changes, such as in volume, capacity, or capability. Most FMS or FMC, like PCamCell, consist of three main systems. The work machines, which are often connected automated CNC machines. The material, part, or tool handling system to optimize material, part, or tool flow or movement. The central control computer, which controls material, part, or tool flow or movement and machine CNC execution. The main advantages of an FMS or FMC like PCamCell is its high flexibility in managing manufacturing resources like time and effort in order to manufacture a new product. The best application of an FMS or FMC is found in the production of small sets of products. By choosing PCam.com's PCamCell, you're investing in the future of your business. Stay competitive, stay ahead, and transform your operations with our cutting-edge solutions. Streamline your design and manufacturing processes, enhance accuracy, efficiency, and reduce production time with our state-of-the-art cell management system.

PCamFMC Intro

A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) or flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) is a manufacturing system in which there is some amount of flexibility that allows the system to react in case of changes, whether predicted or unpredicted.This flexibility is generally considered to fall into two categories, which both contain numerous subcategories.The first category is called as routing flexibility which covers the system's ability to be changed to produce new product types, and ability to change the order of operations executed on a part.The second category is called machine flexibility which consists of the ability to use multiple machines to perform the same operation on a part, as well as the system's ability to absorb large-scale changes, such as in volume, capacity, or capability.Most FMS / FMC consist of three main systems:
  • The "work machines" which are often connected automated CNC machines.
  • The "material / part / tool handling" system to optimize material / part / tool flow / movement.
  • The "central control computer" which controls material / part / tool flow / movement and machine CNC execution.
The main advantages of an FMS / FMC is its high flexibility in managing manufacturing resources like time and effort in order to manufacture a new product.The best application of an FMS / FMC is found in the production of small sets of products.

Error Handling

  • Allows to define policies for handling errors (in form of numerical description Nxx or Pxx that can be received from the machine in the software communication protocol) and determine subsequent actions, like continuing with next machining sequence.
Error Handling

Parallel Movements

  • Allows to make all the activities as parallel in the cell managed by PCamCell.
