<p>A special purpose member 7, which is exchangeable according to the type of work undertaken, is provided for engagement with a standardised general-purpose member (5, Fig 1) of a production line and is clamped by a chuck 6 of the general-purpose member (5). When the special-purpose member 7 is clamped by the chuck 6, a first connector (11, Fig 3) provided in the chuck means 6 and connected to the controller (10, Fig 1) of the production line equipment, engages with a second connector 13 provided in the special-purpose member 7 and connected to a memory unit (12, Fig 3) mounted in the special-purpose member 7. Memory unit (12) is thus connected to production line equipment controller (10), enabling control information for the production line equipment to be transmitted from the memory (12) of the special purpose member 7 to the production line equipment controller (10). …<??>Thus, new control information suitable for the operation of a particular special-purpose member 7 is automatically fed into the production line equipment controller (10) on fitting that special-purpose member 7 to the general purpose member (5). Memory (12) may be programmed by training the special-purpose member 7 at a remote location. …<IMAGE>… </p> |
