The software architecture of the vertical machining workstation in the Automated Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) at the National Bureau of Standards is presented. This prototype system demonstrates flexible computer-integrated manufacturing for a family of prismatic parts. The workstation software components include: a feature-based design system for defining part geometries, an automatic process planning and numerical-control code generation system, an automatic robot program generator, a state-machine-based hierarchical control system that executes process plans, a diagnostic tools package, and mailbox communications software. The system is capable of running stand-alone, as a single station manufacturing system, or integrated under the AMRF cell controller.<
