A 30-station transfer line has an ideal cycle time of 0.75 min, an average downtime of 6.0 min per line stop occurrence, and a station failure frequency of 0.01 for all stations. A proposal has been submitted to locate a storage buffer between stations 15 and 16 to improve line efficiency.
(a) Determine the current line efficiency and production rate
(b)Determine the maximum possible line efficiency and production rate that would result from the new proposal.
(c)Consider a new proposal to divide the line into three stages: two storage buffers located between stations 10 and 11, and between stations 20 and 21, respectively.
Answer Part (b) for this proposal.
(d) Now consider the original proposal. Assume that the capacity of the proposed storage buffer is to be 20 parts, and the downtime (Td = 6.0 min) is a constant.
Answer Part (b) for this proposal.
Summarise and discuss the differences between CNC programs (G-code programs) for CNC machining and Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing (AM-3DP), especially the AM-3DP systems such as Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and Binder-Jetting (BJ).
Construct the two approaches (the software and the hardware) used in RISC machines to minimize memory operations.

- Speed reduction, either through gearing or belt-pulley constructs, is an important element in motion system design. Similarly, converting rotary motion to linear motion is an important consideration. Considering a printer system driven by a stepper motor with 200 steps per revolution, construct a table that shows the relationships for: a. Position resolution of the print head vs. angular position of the motor. This translates to addressable print dots per mm vs. step angle. b. Print head speed (mm/S) vs. motor speed (Steps/S with rpm also noted) C. Frictional load at the print head (mN) vs. reflected torque at the motor (mNM) Mass of the print head vs. reflected inertia to the motor d. Use GR for Speed Reduction, r (mm) for the radius of the drive pulley, and m (grams) for print-head mass..

- With a neat block Diagram explain the Functional block of CRO?arrow_forwardThe worktable of a CNC machine tool is driven by a closed-loop positioning system that consists of a servomotor, ball screw, and optical encoder. The screw has 4 threads/in and is coupled directly to the motor shaft (gear ratio = 1:1). The optical encoder generates 180 pulses per motor revolution. The table is programmed to move a distance = 6.0 in at a feed rate = 25.0 in/min. (a) How many pulses are received by the control system to verify that the table has moved the programmed distance? Determine (b) the pulse rate and (c) motor speed that correspond to the specified feed rate.arrow_forwardA CNC worktable is driven in a linear direction by a lead screw connected directly to a stepper motor. The pitch of the lead screw is 5 mm. The stepper motor completes one full revolution upon receiving 600 pulses. If the worktable speed is 5 m/minute and there is no missed pulse, then the pulse rate being received by the stepper motor is (a) 20 kHz (b) 10 kHz (c) 3 kHz (d) 15 kHzarrow_forward
