Working of CIM:- Typically, a work piece, which is located at the ASRS, will be
placed on the conveyor system by a gantry robot. The conveyor will transport the work piece to the CNC milling machine where another robot will pick up the work piece from the conveyor belt and place it in the machine. After the milling process, the robot will return it to the conveyor belt where another robot will pick up the work piece and place it in the CNC lathe machine. After the work piece has been machined, it will be transported by the conveyor belt to the assembly station for assembly and QC check. If the work piece is satisfactory, it will then be bar coded at the next station and
CAD/CAM LAB REPORT Page 3

transported to the ASRS for inventory purpose. The whole process is controlled by a Central Management Control Station (CMCS), which sends the exact instructions to the various stations for the work to be performed. The conveyor belt serves as a transport highway where the work piece will be loaded and sent on to its destination.

Theory:- Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) is the manufacturing approach

of using computers to control the entire production process. The term "computerintegrated manufacturing" is both a method of manufacturing and the name of a computer-automated system in which individual engineering, production, marketing, and support functions of a manufacturing enterprise are organized. In a CIM system functional areas such as design, analysis, planning, purchasing, cost accounting, inventory control, and distribution are linked through the computer with factory floor functions such as materials handling and management, providing direct control and monitoring of all the operations. ELEMENTS OF CIM SYSTEM 1. Marketing: The need for a product is identified by the marketing division. The specifications of the product, the projection of manufacturing quantities and the strategy

CAD/CAM LAB REPORT

Page 4

for marketing the product are also decided by the marketing department. Marketing also works out the manufacturing costs to assess the economic viability of the product. 2. Product Design: The design department of the company establishes the initial database for production of a proposed product. In a CIM system this is accomplished through activities such as geometric modeling and computer aided design while considering the product requirements and concepts generated by the creativity of the design engineer. The design process creates the database required to manufacture the part. 3. Planning: The planning department takes the database established by the design department and enriches it with production data and information to produce a plan for the production of the product. Planning involves several subsystems dealing with materials, facility, process, tools, manpower, capacity, scheduling, outsourcing, assembly, inspection, logistics etc. 4. Purchase: The purchase departments is responsible for placing the purchase orders and follow up, ensure quality in the production process of the vendor, receive the items, arrange for inspection and supply the items to the stores or arrange timely delivery depending on the production schedule for eventual supply to manufacture and assembly. 5. Manufacturing Engineering: Manufacturing Engineering is the activity of carrying out the production of the product, involving further enrichment of the database with performance data and information about the production equipment and processes. In CIM, this requires activities like CNC programming, simulation and computer aided scheduling of the production activity. 6. Factory Automation Hardware: Factory automation equipment further enriches the database with equipment and process data, resident either in the operator or the equipment to carry out the production process. In CIM system this consists of computer controlled process machinery such as CNC machine tools, flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), Computer controlled robots, material handling systems, computer controlled assembly systems etc. 7. Warehousing: Warehousing is the function involving storage and retrieval of raw materials, components, finished goods as well as shipment of items. In todays complex outsourcing scenario and the need for just-in-time supply of components and subsystems, logistics and supply chain management assume great importance.

8. Finance: Finance deals with the resources pertaining to money. Planning of investment, working capital, and cash flow control, realization of receipts, accounting and allocation of funds are the major tasks of the finance departments. 9. Information Management: Information Management is perhaps one of the crucial tasks in CIM. This involves master production scheduling, database management, communication, manufacturing systems integration and management information systems.

Figure: SCORBOT-ER VII Robot Arm

Theory:Types of Robots:1. Cartesian Coordinate Robot (also called linear robot) is an industrial robot whose threeprincipal axes of control are linear (i.e. they move in a straight line rather than rotate) and are atright angles to each other. Among other advantages, this mechanical arrangement simplifies theRobot control arm solution. Cartesian coordinate robots with the horizontal member supported at both ends are sometimes called Gantry robots. Used for pick and place work, application of sealant, assembly operations, handling machine tools and arc welding. 2. Spherical Coordinate Robot is a robot with two rotary joints and one prismatic joint. Spherical robots have an arm which forms a spherical coordinate system. Used for handling at machine tools, spot welding, diecasting, fettling machines, gas welding and arc welding. It's a robot whose axes form a polar coordinate system. 3. Cylindrical Coordinate Robot has two linear axes and one rotary axis. The robot derives its name from the operating envelope.The Z axis is located inside the base, resulting in a compact end-of-arm design that allows the robot to "reach" into tight work envelopes without sacrificing speed or repeatability.Used for assembly operations, handling at machine tools, spot welding, and handling at diecasting machines.
4. Articulated Robot is a robot with rotary joints. Articulated robots can range from

simple two-jointed structures to systems with 10 or more interacting joints. They are powered by a variety of means, including electric motors.Used for assembly operations, fettling machines, gas welding, arc welding and spray painting. It's a robot whose arm has at least three rotary joints. 5. SCARA Robot: SCARA stands for Selective Compliant Assembly Robot Arm or Selective Compliant Articulated Robot Arm. By virtue of the SCARA's parallel-axis joint layout, the arm is slightly compliant in the X-Y direction but rigid in the Z direction, hence the term:Selective Compliant.The second attribute of the SCARA is the jointed two-link arm layout similar to our human arms, hence the often-used term,
CAD/CAM LAB REPORT Page 9

Articulated. SCARA's are generally faster and cleaner than comparable Cartesian systems.Used for pick and place work, application of sealant, assembly operations and handling machine tools. Basic Components of a Robot:1.Manipulatorwhich is the robots arm, consists of segments jointed together with axes capable of motion in various directions allowing the robot to perform work. 2. End Effector which is a gripper tool, a special device, or fixture attached to the robots arm, actually performs the work. 3. Power supply provides and regulates the energy that is converted to motion by the robot actuator, and it may be electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic. 4. Controller initiates, terminates, and coordinates the motion of sequences of a robot. Also it accepts the necessary inputs to the robot and provides the outputs to interface with the outside world. Teach Pendant: The teach pendant is an optional device. The teach pendant (TP) is a hand-held terminal, used for controlling the robot andaxis connected to controller. The teach pendant is most practical for moving the axes, recording positions, sending the axes to recorded positions, and activating programs. Otherfunctions can also be executed fromthe teach pendant.The teach pendant has 30 functionkeys. Many of thecommand keys on the teach pendant are ACL commands.

Working of vertical CNC milling Machine Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Milling is the most common form of CNC. CNC mills can perform the functions of drilling and often turning. CNC Mills are classified according to the number of axes that they possess. Axes are labeled as x and y for horizontal movement, and z for vertical movement, as shown in this view of a manual mill table. A standard manual light-duty mill (such as a Bridgeport) is typically assumed to have four axes:

1. Table x.
2. Table y. 3. Table z. 4. Milling Head z High speed CNC Milling The number of axes of a milling machine is a common subject of casual "shop talk" and is often interpreted in varying ways. We present here what we have seen typically presented by manufacturers. A five-axis CNC milling machine has an extra axis in the form of a horizontal pivot for the milling head, as shown below. This allows extra flexibility for machining with the end mill at an angle with respect to the table. A sixaxis CNC milling machine would have another horizontal pivot for the milling head, this time perpendicular to the fifth axis. CNC milling machines are traditionally programmed using a set of commands known asG-codes. G-codes represent specific CNC functions in alphanumeric format. Working of CNC lathe Machine

The VICE: This holds the material to be cut or shaped. Material must be held securely otherwise it may 'fly' out of the vice when the CNC begins to machine. Normally the vice will be like a clamp that holds the material in the correct position. The GUARD: The guard protects the person using the CNC. When the CNC is machining the material small pieces can be 'shoot' off the material at high speed. This could be dangerous if a piece hit the person operating the machine. The guard completely encloses the the dangerous areas of the CNC. The CHUCK: This holds the material that is to be shaped. The material must be placed in it very carefully so that when the CNC is working the material is not thrown out at high speed. The MOTOR: The motor is enclosed inside the machine. This is the part that rotates the chuck at high speed. The LATHE BED: The base of the machine. Usually a CNC is bolted down so that it cannot move through the vibration of the machine when it is working. The CUTTING TOOL: This is usually made from high quality steel and it is the part that actually cuts the material to be shaped.

THEORY
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is one in which the functions and motions of a machine tool are controlled by means of a prepared program containing coded alphanumeric data. CNC can control the motions of the work piece or tool, the input parameters such as feed, depth of cut, speed, and the functions such as turning spindle on/off, turning coolant on/off. Applications The applications of CNC include both for machine tool as well as non-machine tool areas. In the machine tool category, CNC is widely used for lathe, drill press, milling machine, grinding unit, laser, sheet-metal press working machine, tube bending machine etc. Highly automated machine tools such as turning center and machining center which change the cutting tools automatically under CNC control have been developed. In the non-machine tool category, CNC applications include welding machines (arc and resistance), coordinate measuring machine, electronic assembly, tape laying and filament winding machines for A CNC system consists of three basic components 1.

Automatic Conveyor Automatic Conveyor for Industrial Automation consists of two object sensors, rpm sensor, and rpm control circuit which controls the speed of the motor driving the conveyor. The object sensors which detect the objects sends signal to the motor driving circuit to on/off the motor. It work on the elecric pulses as electronic puces is given it move and again it stopped at requred position according to the PLC to load the work piece and work material PROGRAM LOGIC CONTROL (PLC) Control engineering has evolved over time. In the past humans were the main method for controlling a system. More recently electricity has been used for control and early electrical control was based on relays. These relays allow power to be switched on and off without a mechanical switch. It is common to use relays to make simple logical control decisions. The development of low cost computer has brought the most recent revolution, the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The advent of the PLC began in the 1970s, and has become the most common choice for manufacturing controls. PLCs have been gaining popularity on the factory floor and will probably remain predominant for some time to come. Most of this is because of the advantages they offer. Cost effective for controlling complex systems. Flexible and can be reapplied to control other systems quickly and easily. Computational abilities allow more sophisticated control. Trouble shooting aids make programming easier and reduce downtime. Reliable components make these likely to operate for years before failure. PLC Connections When a process is controlled by a PLC it uses inputs from sensors to make decisions and update outputs to drive actuators, as shown in Figure 1. The control loop is a continuous cycle of the PLC reading inputs, solving the ladder logic, and then changing the outputs. Like any computer this does not happen instantly. Figure 2 shows the basic operation cycle of a PLC. When power is turned on initially the PLC does a quick sanity check to ensure that the hardware is working properly. If there is a problem the PLC will halt and indicate there is an error. For example, if the PLC power is dropping and about to go off this will result in one type of fault.

Ladder diagram:
Ladder logic is the main programming method used for PLCs.Ladder diagrams are the most commonly used diagrams for nonelectronic control circuits. They are sometimes called elementary diagrams or line diagrams. Two types of ladder diagrams are used in control system: the control ladder diagram and the power ladder diagram. The control ladder diagram has two active functional lines. Some of the common practices for the format of control ladder diagram are illustrated by this figure. Those practices are as follows:

Compressed Air Filters Air filter are use to remove the dirt and dust from air so that only pure air is supplied to the syste normoly used air filter is Ballston compressed air filters which remove 99.99% of 0.01 micron particles of oil, water, and dirt from compressed air and other gases. The liquid releases from the filter cartridge to an automatic drain as rapidly as it enters the filter. This allows the compressed air filter to continue removing liquids without loss of efficiency or flow capacity. Q.No.1. On which logic first PLC program was design ? Ans :- The first PLCs were programmed with a technique that was based on relay logic wiring schematics. This eliminated the need to teach the electricians, technicians and engineers how to program a computer - but, this method has stuck and it is the most common technique for programming PLCs today. Q.No. 2. Give two example of where a PLC could be used ? Ans:- In conveyer belt and CNC PLC are used to control the motion and task. Q.No. 3. Why would relays be used in place of PLCs Ans:- for some cases is simple and cost effective relay be used in place of PLCs Q.No 4. How many types of Ladder Logic in plc ? Ans: In ladder logic there are multiple types of outputs, but these are not consistently available on all PLCs. Some of the outputs will be externally connected to devices outside the PLC, but it is also possible to use internal memory locations in the PLC. Q.No 5. Write the component of PLC . Ans;- The PLC has three components; 1) Central Processing Unit CPU, 2) Inputs, 3) Outputs.
