Abstract
This paper introduced control system design of a hybrid vacuum-forming machine system (HAVES). The HAVES employed reconfigurable screw-pin tooling instead of traditional dedicated solid tooling to produce components. By adjusting vertical displacement of the screw pins, a wide variety of geometry can be formed. The control system mainly included two control units: unit for screw-pin tooling adjustment and machining and unit for vacuum forming. In each unit, key controlled components were selected and control diagram was described.
