Assignment- 1
1. Identify the level of automation in a production plant
2. What do you understand by numerical control of machine tools? Explain the
need for its development. Describe in detail the various advantage and
disadvantages offered by NC systems.
3. What is “positioning”? Explain different types of positioning & control systems
used in CNC machines. Give suitable examples where necessary.
4. Distinguish between open loop & closed loop control system. Explain in detail
the working of each of these and their applications
5. An open-loop positioning system uses a stepper motor connected to a ball
screw with a 4:1 gear reduction (four turns of the motor for each turn of the ball
screw). The stepper motor has a step angle of 7.2°. The ball screw pitch is 5
mm. Mechanical inaccuracies can be described by a normal distribution whose
standard deviation = 0.005 mm. The range of the worktable axis is 500 mm.
What is the minimum number of bits that the binary register must have so that
the mechanical drive system becomes the limiting component on control
resolution?
6. A stepper motor with 50 step angles is coupled to a leadscrew through a gear
reduction of 5:1 (five rotations of the motor for each rotation of the leadscrew).
The leadscrew has 1.25 threads/cm. The worktable driven by the leadscrew
must move a distance = 40.0 cm at a feed rate = 90 cm>min. Determine (a) the
number of pulses required to move the table, (b) required motor speed, and (c)
pulse rate to achieve the desired table speed.
7. Write about Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) and Automatic Pallet Changers
(APC)
8. Brief about types of cutting tools used in CNC lathe and machining centers
9. Brief about cutter compensation given in machining centre and how is the tool
– length compensation specified in a machining centre. How do set the tool
offsets in case of turning centres?
