Organisation and Principle Design of a Flexible Manufacturing Cell Dedicated to the Annual Overhaul Activities for TAB-77

In this scientific paper, aspects of the design, calculation and implementation of an industrial robot, designed in a modular-serial construction, in a flexible cell for annual overhaul operations of the TAB-77 armored amphibious transporter are highlighted. The scientific approach is based on the following aspects: presentation of some peculiarities of the implementation of advanced technologies in the field of maintenance operations, optimal choice of an industrial robot structure that will serve the flexible cell, matrix calculation related to the direct and inverse geometric model for determining the workspace, configuration of the flexible cell and elements of economic calculation of the entire flexible system proposed through the authors. The scientific itinerary concludes with the presentation of some conclusions resulting from the study performed and some proposals and perspectives for further development of the solution presented.
