This paper describes the PLACE (Positioner Layout and Cell Evaluator) system from McDonnell Douglas being used to lay out, evaluate, and off-line program the Hiperco 50 machining work cell. The PLACE system allows the user to evaluate manufacturing cells with various combinations of robots and cell design to arrive at the best workable solution to a cell design problem. The PLACE system simulation of the Hiperco 50 machining work cell includes two machine tools, various Q stations, quick-change robot tooling and an ASEA IRB6L 5-axis robot. By using the PLACE system, it has been possible to determine the optimal location for positioning each component within the work cell.
