Patent number: 7720565Abstract: A production system capable of further improving production efficiency and quality. The ring management system includes size measurement unit for measuring size of the ring, first convey unit for moving the ring w whose size has been measured, a first stocker having a plurality of storage positions for storing rings conveyed by the first convey unit, a second convey unit for conveying out the rings from the first stocker means for stacking, and a control unit. The control unit includes memory means for storing the rings size measured by the size measurement means in association with the storage position in the first stocker, first selection means for selecting a ring constituting a stacked ring according to the ring size stored in the memory means, and first instruction means to instruct the second convey unit to convey out the ring selected by the first selection means from the storage position pj in the first stocker.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2007Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazutoshi Takada, Takaji Mukumoto, Hideshi Sato, Osamu Takenaka, Tetsuo Sugizono, Katsumune Inaki, Hiroki Tahira, Koji Saito, Katsuyuki Nakajima

Patent number: 6732423Abstract: When ring components 4 of layers to assemble a laminated ring 3 are unloaded from a component storage facility 10, a computer 13 generates lamination combinatorial data representing a combination of ring components of layers. A target frequency distribution of circumferential length values of ring components 4 of each layer is established, and lamination combinatorial data including ring components of a class where an error of an actual inventory frequency with respect to a target frequency is large are selected in a layer where an error between the target frequency distribution and an actual inventory frequency distribution is maximum. Ring components 4 of all layers corresponding to the selected lamination combinatorial data are unloaded from the component storage facility 10.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2003Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Koji Saito, Yoshihiko Suzuki, Katsumune Inaki, Tetsuo Sugizono
