Course instructor: Prof. Harpreet Singh

Duration: 1hour (50min answering + 10min for scanning and uploading)

Total Marks: 30

1. What do you mean by cutter offset? (2 marks)

2. Suggest any three typical material handling equipment for “product type layout” (1mark)
3. Describe the principle of operation of self-guided vehicles? (2 marks)
4. In the context of NC positioning systems, how does ‘accuracy’ differ from ‘repeatability’?
Which factors effect accuracy and repeatability? (2.5 marks)
5. Explain the function of ‘position set’ feature of CNC system? (1mark)
6. How does an analog control differ from direct digital control? (3 marks)
7. Differentiate between a single-level interrupt system and a multi-level interrupt system? (2
marks)
8. When will you recommend use of adaptive control? (2 marks)
9. Illustrate the difference between process parameter and process variable with the help of an
example? (1mark)
10. Illustrate automation migration strategy with the help of a schematic diagram? (2marks)
11. One axis of an NC positioning system is driven by a stepping motor. The motor is connected
to a lead screw whose pitch is 4.0 mm, and the lead screw drives the table. Control resolution
for the table is specified as 0.025mm. Determine (a) the number of step angles required to
achieve the specified control resolution, (b) the size of each step angle in the motor, and (c)
the linear travel rate of the motor at a pulse frequency of 200 pulses per second. (4.5 marks)
12. Write an NC program to remove the material in the given diagram from points 2 to 7. You
just need to write the X and Y movement of the tool for every step. Use incremental
positioning system. (3.5marks)

13. Write the APT geometry statements to define the outline of the part in below figure. Use P0
as the origin in the x-y system. (3.5 marks)
