What is the function of the MCU in a CNC machine tool? 2. What potentials have the developments in the automatically controlled machines and the advances in computer technology opened to industry? 3. What is NC? 4. How are machine tools guided to find the cutting points? 2. After you have matched paragraphs with questions, read the paragraphs carefully and answer the questions.

Απάντηση:

  • Αντιστοίχιση ερώτησης → παραγράφου: Q1 (function of MCU) → παράγραφος 2. Q2 (potentials opened to industry) → παράγραφος 4. Q3 (what is NC) → παράγραφος 1. Q4 (how machine tools are guided to cutting points) → παράγραφος 3.
  • Πλήρεις απαντήσεις: 1. NC is the operation of a machine by a series of coded instructions (numbers, letters, symbols) referring to dimensions, shapes, positions of cutting points and to the operations/motions the machine will perform. 2. The MCU converts the coded instructions of the part program into a series of pulses of electric current which control the machine's motors and servomechanisms to produce the designed metal parts. 3. Machine tools are guided to the cutting points through two systems: the incremental (each position given from the previous point) and the absolute (all positions given from a zero reference point). 4. The developments have made it possible to program and control a whole manufacturing plant by a computer communication network (CAM), making the automated, unattended factory a reality — a second industrial revolution.

The new jigs and fixtures hold the workpieces more securely. The quality of the produced parts has been improved. 9. CNC machine tools operate automatically. Fewer operators are needed to attend their performance. 10. The new chucks provide higher gripping forces and accuracy. Turning centres can meet the demand for heavier metal removal rates and higher spindle speeds.

Απάντηση:

    1. Because more operations can be performed on a workpiece in only one setup, CNC machine tools have greatly increased production rates.
    1. Since machining centres can use up to 6 axes of motion, they can produce more complex forms.
    1. As CNC machine tools can automatically select speed and feed, they guarantee longer life of the cutting tools.
    1. NC machines are characterized by accuracy and flexibility, so they reduce the amount of scrap.
