Abstract
A major facility for manufacturing research is being established at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). The facility is designed to provide extreme flexibility and to be capable of emulating a wide variety of manufacturing cells typical of a small machine job shop. The control architecture adopted is hierarchical in nature and highly modular. The facility will be used for research on interface standards and metrology in an automated environment.Citation
