Abstract This paper presents an integrated real-time control system for a Robotic Filament Winding manufacturing cell. The architecture is based on a multiprocessor system employing four processor boards. The system incorporates a hierarchical control layout with the task specification at the highest level and the robot and winder set point tracking at the lowest. Eventual design goals include a PC front-end unit capable of winding path generation and testing prior to actual part production. Preliminary experimental results on cylindrical, elbow and T-shaped pipe-fittings are included.
