CAM activities • Direct Numerical Control (DNC)
CAM activities • Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) • Numerous computer-controlled machines fed by automated material handling system • Allows for broad and deep product mix • Minimal setup times enable small lot sizes Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
CAM activities • Robots • Mechanical manipulators that can be accessed with programming method • Consistent, repetitive-motion tolerant • Ideal for tasks that are hazardous to humans Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
CAM activities • Automated Materials Handling System • System where raw materials are automatically fed into machines • Examples: • Conveyor belts • Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) • Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
How It Works • Product is conceived by engineer • Product is designed using CAD software • CAD data is transferred to manufacturing machine’s memory • Machine uses the CAD data to produce the product, with little human intervention Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
How It Works • Old System (without CAM) • Product is designed with CAD software • Each production machine is programmed individually OR – if not automated : • Employees are trained on proper production of the product Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
How It Works • New System (using CAM) • Product is designed with CAD software • Product specifications are sent over the plant network to each machine • Machines have ‘intelligence’ to produce the products without human intervention Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
CAM solution: • Enables faster turnaround of new products • Reduces waste by using raw materials more efficiently • Generates costs based on design specifications Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
Summary • Here’s what we’ve looked at so far…. • Definition • Brainstormed • CAM activities • How It Works • CAM solution Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
Conclusion • CAM enables companies to leverage capital investment • CAM allows for cost savings that can be passed on to the final consumer • CAM utilizes human resources more efficiently to minimize labor costs Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI

CAM Systems & CNC Machine Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
History 1955 - John Parsons and US Air Force define a need to develop a machine tool capable of machining complex and close tolerance aircraft parts with the same quality time after time. MIT is the subcontractor and builds the machine for the project. Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
History: Continued 1959 - MIT announces Automatic Programmed Tools (APT) programming language 1960 - Direct Numerical Control (DNC). This eliminates paper tape punch programs and allows programmers to send files directly to machine tools Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
History: Continued 1968 - Kearney & Trecker machine tool builders market first machining center 1970’s - CNC machine tools & Distributed Numerical Control 1980’s - Graphics based CAM systems introduced. Unix and PC based systems available Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
History: Continued 1990’s - Price drop in CNC technology 1997 - PC- Windows/NT based “Open Modular Architecture Control (OMAC)” systems introduced to replace “firmware” controllers. Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
Control Systems Open-Loop Control Stepper motor system Current pulses sent from control unit to motor Each pulse results in a finite amount of revolution of the motor001” is possible
Control Systems Open-Loop Limitations Control unit “assumes” desired position is achieved No positioning compensation Typically, a lower torque motor Open-Loop Advantages Less complex, Less costly, and lower maintenance costs Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
Control Systems Closed-Loop Control Variable DC motors - Servos Positioning sensors -Resolvers Feedback to control unit Position information compared to target location Location errors corrected

CNC - NC Machine Tools Computer Numerical Control (CNC) - A numerical control system in which the data handling, control sequences, and response to input is determined by an on-board computer system at the machine tool. Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI

Machining Centers Machine motion is programmable Servo motors drive feed mechanisms for tool axis’s Positioning feedback is provided by resolvers to the control system Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
NC Numerical Control (NC) - A control system which primarily processes numeric input. Limited programming capability at the machine tool. Limited logic beyond direct input. These types of systems are referred to as “hardwire controls” and were popular from the 1950’s to 1970’s. Lecturer: Dr. HABEEB ALANI
