TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a CAMAC installation controlling three different machine tools connected to a central computer (PDP11) via the CAMAC Serial Highway, which facilitates the development of modular components controlling the machine tools itself.
Abstract: The production of mechanical parts in research centers can be improved by connecting several numerical controlled machine tools to a central process computer via a data link. The CAMAC Serial Highway with its expandable structure yields an economic and flexible system for this purpose. The CAMAC System also facilitates the development of modular components controlling the machine tools itself. This paper describes a CAMAC installation controlling three different machine tools connected to a central computer (PDP11) via the CAMAC Serial Highway. Besides of this application, part of the CAMAC hardware and software can also be used for a great variety of scientific experiments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modular standardized DNC-System is described, which is based on the CAMAC Standard, and real-time FORTRAN is used to allow easy adaption of the system to individual production requirements.
Abstract: A modular standardized DNC-System is described which is based on the CAMAC Standard. Real Time FORTRAN is used to allow easy adaption of the system to individual production requirements. In a second step the Operating Data Acquisition is added. Quality control is a substantional part of the total production costs of the plant, where fuel controllers for aircraft jet engines are manufactured. The automation of the quality control with its test rigs is achieved by a Multi-Micro Computer System, thus forming an overall Production Control System.

Abstract: Ohne Messen und Prufen ist industrielle Qualitatssicherung schlechthin undenkbar. Richtige und zeitgerechte Feststellung der Istwerte vorgegebener Qualitatsmerkmale und ihr Vergleich mit den Anforderungen ist eine notwendige, wenn auch leider keine hinreichende Voraussetzung fur einwandfreie Produkte.
