The manufacturing process of tapered roller bearings consists of rings machining processes and components assembly. Environmental, process and machine parameters influence manufacturing, affecting the dimensions of the final product. Fersa Bearings, as STREAM-0D end-user, is tackling errors caused by temperature variations in order to eliminate dimensional uncertainty.
Discrete manufacturing: model-based process optimization and control
The ways in which process manufacturing and discrete manufacturing are respectively controlled differ a lot. Dealing with discrete manufacturing, STREAM-0D requires the implementation of sophisticated analysis within the process. This activity is managed by STAM, which in this article for the Bits Of STREAM-0D inititative, outlines the features of such approach. STAM is an Italian …
