Subject: CAD/CAM Subject Code: EAU701 Tutorial Sheet # 7 Q.1 What is Group Technology?

How many methods are available to create part family. Ans. Visual Inspection Production flow analysis (PFA) Parts classification and coding system Q.2 How Parts classification and coding system can be categorized? Ans. System based on part designing attributes System based on part manufacturing attributes System based on both designing and manufacturing attributes Q.3 How many type of coding system used in group technology? Ans. Hierarchical structure Chain type structure Hybrid structure Q.4 What do you understand by Computer aided process planning? How this works? Ans. Retrieval type CAPP system (Variant systems) Generative CAPP system Q.5 What are the various components of CAPP? Ans. Selection of machining operations Sequencing of machining operations Selection of cutting tools Determining the setup requirements Calculation of cutting parameters Tool path planning and generation of NC/CNC programs Design of Jigs/Fixtures Q.6 What are the objectives of computer aided quality control? Ans. To improve product quality To increase productivity in the inspection process

To increase productivity and reduce lead times in manufacturing Q.7 Explain the various terminology used in quality control? Ans. Quality in manufacturing Quality assurance Quality control Statistical QC Acceptance sampling Control Charts Inspection Testing Q.8 what type of changes are made in QC by the introduction of computer in Quality Control? Ans. Computer aided inspection (CAI) and computer aided testing(CAT) perform 100% quality control. Integration of inspection during manufacturing Use of non contact sensors is possible On-line noncontact sensors can send feedback to control system Robots can be used in QC Q.9 What is meant for contact inspection methods? How it is done? Ans. Through Coordinate measurement machine (CMM) Automatic work part alignment on the machine table Only 5-10% time is required Several moves can be avoided by doing many inspection at one place. Q.10 what are the advantages of non contact inspection methods? Ans. Eliminate the need to repositioning the work part Much faster Eliminate mechanical wear Reduces potential danger from hazardous material Remove the possibility of damage to the surface of workpart.
