The document discusses flexible manufacturing systems and related topics. It provides questions about automation strategies, assembly technologies, part feeding devices, flexible manufacturing systems, robotics and group technology. The questions are divided into two parts and cover concepts such as buffer storage, flexibility tests, robot manipulators, sensors and accuracy vs repeatability.

Note: 1. lt is compulsory to answer the questions of Part-1. Limit your answers within 20-40
word in this part.
2, Answer any four questions from Part -2 in detail.
3 Diferent parts of the same question are to be attempted adjacent to each other.

(b) What is the use of buffer storage in an automated storage system? (2)
(c) Name any two conditions under which automated assembly technology should be (2)
considered.
(d) Name any four part feeding devices. (2)
(e) Explain the Optiz parts classification and coding system. (2)
( What is the difference between a dedicated FMS and a random order FMS? (2)

PART-2
Q2 (a) Explain in detail with suitable diagram the different physical configuration of the (5)
automated assembly system.
(b) A feeder-selector device at one of the station of an automated assembly machine has a (5)
feed rate of 25 parts per minute and provides a throughput of one part in four. The ideal
cycle time of the assembly machine is 10 sec. The low level sensor on the feed track is set
at 10 parts, and the high level sensor is set at 20 parts. (a) How long will it take for the
supply of parts to be depleted from the high level sensor to the low level sensor once the
feeder selector device is turned off? (b) How long will it take for the parts to be
resupplied from the low level sensor to the high level sensor, on average, after the feeder
selector device is turned on?

Q3 (a) What is group technology? Explain the features of parts classification and coding (5)
systems.
b) Apply the rank order clustering technique for grouping the parts to the part-machine (5)
incidence matrix given in following table.
