Assignment 04

1. In CNC turning, the tool__________ and the workpiece __________.

a) rotates, translates
b) translates, rotates
c) rotates, rotates
d) translates, translates

2. In CNC milling, the tool__________ and the workpiece __________.

a) rotates, rests
b) rests, rotates
c) rotates, also rotates
d) translates, translates or rotates

3. The type of milling machine used for the operation primarily depends on the tolerance and
weight of the workpiece.
a) True
b) False

4. Arrange the tool material in the ascending order of toughness:

a) HSS < Cemented Carbide < Coated Carbides < Ceramics
b) Coated Carbides< Cemented carbides< Ceramics < HSS
c) Cemented carbides < Coated Carbides < HSS < Ceramics
d) Ceramics < Coated Carbides < Cemented Carbide < HSS

5. Automatic pallet changer is ___________ holding device.

a) tool
b) workpiece
c) machine
d) All of these

6. In the ISO signature of tungsten carbide inserts “S B M G 22 04 12”, what does S and M
signifies?
a) Insert type & insert shape
b) Insert type & tolerance
c) Insert shape & tolerance
d) Tolerance & insert type

7. During the machining process, the retention knob in the top of the tool assembly is used for
clamping and releasing purpose.
a) True
b) False
 8. A rotary encoder is connected directly to the spindle of a machine tool to measure its
rotational speed. The encoder generates 60 pulses for each revolution of the spindle. In one
reading, the encoder generated 240 pulses in a period of 0.50 sec. What is the rotational speed
of the spindle?
a) 360 rev/min
b) 400 rev/min
c) 8 rev/min
d) 480 rev/min

Solution:- N = (240 pulses)/(60 pulses/rev × 0.50 sec) = 8.0 rev/sec = 480 rev/min

9. The step angle of a stepper motor = 1.2 degrees. The motor shaft is to rotate through 20
complete revolutions at an angular velocity of 15 rad/sec. Determine the required number of
pulses.
a) 7000 pulses
b) 6000 pulses
c) 5000 pulses
d) 3600 pulses

Solution: α = 1.2° ns = 360/1.2 = 300 step angles

To rotate 20 revolutions, Am = 20(360) = 7200°
np = 7200/1.2 = 6000 pulses

10. What does 11101 mean in binary?

a) 24
b) 25
c) 28
d) 29

Solution: 1 24 16
1 23 8 16+8+4+1=29
1 22 4
0 21 0
1 20 1
