Abstract
An apparatus for interfacing between a human operator and a manufacturing cell having a plurality of mechanical units for assembling components and subassemblies includes a video monitor responsive to display signals for generating to the human operator a graphic display of information related to a selected one of a plurality of mechanical units in the manufacturing cell. An input device such as a mouse is responsive to the human operator for generating command signals representing desired changes to the graphic display including information as to which of the mechanical units is selected, which style of components is selected and an amount and direction of a software shim to be applied to the selected mechanical unit. A data processing means is connected to the video monitor and to the input device, is responsive to the command signals for generating control signals and is responsive to position signals for generating the display signals. The data processing means is connected to the manufacturing cell for receiving the position signals generated by the selected mechanical unit representing a predetermined master position of the selected mechanical unit and the mechanical unit is responsive to the control signals for repositioning to a new desired position represented by the command signals.
