Automation Automation: A process of having machines follow a predetermined sequence of operations with little or no human labor using specialized equipment and devices (such as sensors, actuators) that perform and control manufacturing process It is a evolutionary concept rather than a revolutionary one 4. Automation Areas of in which automation in implemented in manufacturing industry Manufacturing process Machining, forging, casting grinding operations are extensively automated nowadays Material handling Materials and parts are moved and transferred automatically in automatic manufacturing lines Inspection Both on-line inspection off- line inspection are carried out automatically, accuracy and efficiency enhanced Assembly Automatic assembly line is quite common today 4. Automation Numerical control One of the most fundamental concepts in the area of manufacturing technologies Is the automated control of machine tools by a computer and computer program 4. Automation CNC machine tools Milling machine VMC, or vertical machine center, 3, 5 axes VMC, with ATC, or automatic tool changer HMC, or horizontal machine center, 3, 5 axes HMC, with ATC, or automatic tool changer HMC is better in handling heavy duty works Lathes Lathe work is high-volume, cylindrical parts are needed in large quantity A turret (cutting tools mounted on it) can enhance efficiency A tool magazine can hold more many tools than a turret, it can also enhance efficiency 4. Automation CNC machine tools Grinders Surface grinder Cylindrical grinder The tight tolerance requirements hinders the development of NC application in grinders, for the motion control technologies still need to be developed to gain higher accuracy 4. Automation Robot An automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose, manipulat
