Flexible Manufacturing Systems provide a fast reaction possibility to the changes in production conditions. As production conditions change, other changes in the final product like changes of the product variants, or other unpredictable events may be also expected. Nowadays most of the products are designed by using the CAx software. The product design 3D model contains not only the geometrical data of product, but may contain a part of the process plan and technological data as well.

This fact is a reason to quick reaction time possibilities in the manufacturing system settings.

Use of an industrial robot in the automatic production process as a spindle carrier is currently an interesting topic. However, if the stiffness of the robot is not sufficient, various imprecisions may occur during machining. The article deals with monitoring and evaluation of the impact of cutting conditions and positions of the workpiece in the working area on machined surfaces oriented in orthogonal planes. The aim of the experiment is to analyse the precision of simple planar surfaces milled using a robot

The paper deals with the design of replaceable jaws on pneumatics gripper on the CNC milling machine EMCO Concept MILL 105, which is part of the iCIM 3000 like as manufacturing and assembly system. The current shape and size of the replaceable jaws is not suitable for the new component base. When designing replaceable jaws to allow firm and safe clamping of rotating and non-rotating parts, it was based on limiting factors such as parameters of the pneumatics gripper, dimensions, shape and material of the clamped parts and the like.
