1-24
Computer Numerical Control Machines (CNC) • Brought tremendous changes • Computer control of machines has allowed speed of production and undreamed of accuracies – Operating commands executed with speed, accuracy, efficiency and reliability
• Replacing conventional machine tools operated by hand
1-25
CNC Equivalent of Engine Lathe • Capable of machining round parts in one sixth time of skilled machinist • Two centers – Chucking • Designed to machine parts in a chuck (holding and driving device)
– Turning • Designed mainly for shaft-type workpieces supported by some type of tailstock center
1-26
Machining Centers • CNC equivalent of milling machine – Can change cutting tools
• Two types of machining centers – Vertical • Used for flat parts where three-axis machining required
– Horizontal • Spindle in horizontal position • Allows parts to be machined on any side in one setup if equipped with indexing table
1-27
Electrical Discharge Machines • Use controlled spark erosion process between cutting tool and workpiece to remove metal • Two most common EDM machines – Wire-cut • Uses traveling wire to cut internal and external shapes of workpiece
– Vertical ram (die sinking machine) • Feeds form tool down into workpiece
1-28
Machining New Space-age Materials • Produce shapes which were difficult or impossible to produce by other methods • Four new machine tools – – – –
Electro-discharge machining Electochemical machining Electrolytic grinding Laser machining
1-29
Robotics • One of fastest-growing areas of manufacturing industry • Numerical control applied to robots • Capable of handling materials and changing machine tool accessories easily and efficiently
1-30
Lasers • Used increasingly for cutting and welding • Used in sensing devices for extremely accurate measuring and surveying • Used for many materials beyond metals
1-31
Past Half Century Developments • Slow development until early 1930s • After 1932 automation introduced • Great Depression provided lull in production and time used to upgrade machines • AMT (Association for Manufacturing Technology) list of important developments in metalworking found in text starting on page 12
