Unit Two Dialogue Text Supplementary Reading Translation Skill 2 Dialogue NC Operation Topical introduction: Tom and Mary are having a talk with Professor Smith on Mechatronics. Tom: Prof. Smith, I feel puzzled at the term mechatronics. If our specialty becomes what we are mechatronics, may we lose the particular features of our major of mechanics? Dialogue Smith: Oh, that goes too far. Mechatronics is nothing but a manufacturing tendency. It just means a combined method or way to design and produce better products. A good example is the facilities for office automation, from the office computer, printer to the smart-looking file-cabinet. Everything is made mechatronically. Tom: That’s Okay. But what is the difference between mechanical products and mechatronical products? Dialogue Smith: It’s a great difference. Mechatronical products, the computer disk drive, for example, can clearly show us its marvelous features, such as much greater flexibility, easier to redesign and reprogram, etc. imagine, was it possible for us to make anything of that sort 25 years ago? Mary: No, impossible. I see what you mean. But if so, do we still need to divide mechanical products and electronic ones? Smith: Uh…. That’s up to the real need. We certainly do not take a car as a product of electronics. Instead, it is mainly a mechanical engineering product, though made as a combined process of mechatronics. Text NC Operation Describing the Operation Panel Following Fig.2-1 is a control panel 1.EMERGENCY STOP The EMERGENCY STOP button is red and is located in the lower left corner of the control panel. If this button is pressed, the feed and rotation of the tool is stopped and the control system of the computer is turned off.
