Answer any five questions taking at least two from any group. Assume suitable data if necessary. GROUP A 1. a) What are the different types of sampling plans? Explain them. b) What is OC curve? Explain its use in inspection indicating the salient features on it. c) Give necessary block diagrams of three inspection alternatives. Label the diagrams. d) An inspector has inspected a batch of 100 parts, reporting a total of 12 defective parts in the batch. On careful reexamination, it was found that four of these reported defects were in fact good pieces, whereas a total of six defective units in the batch were undetected by the inspector. What is the inspectors accuracy in this instance? 2. 5+5+5+5

a) State and explain about the different types of contact probe configurations in CMM. Give necessary sketches. With an example, explain how is the compensation for probe tip made. [ Turn over

[2] b) Sketch to show the gantry type and cantilever type mechanical structure of CMM. c) The coordinates at the two ends of a certain length dimension of a mechanical component have been measured by a CMM. The coordinates of the first end are (2347, 4811, 025) and those of the opposite end are (7352, 2170, 6038). All dimensions are in mm. The given coordinates have been corrected for probe tip radius. Determine the length dimension that would be computed by the CMM software. 3. 6+4+10 6. 5.

[3] an example show the necessary steps involved in rapid prototyping. b) What is selective laser sintering process? Discuss the process with illustrative sketch(es). GROUP B Write down at least two manufacturing techniques with process parameters of making metal matrix composites in detail. 20 5+5+10

a) What are the parameters used to design the organic structures of plastics? What are the factors affecting the properties of polymer? Discuss briefly. b) What is casting of plastics? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this process. (4+8)+(2+6)

a) What is meant by machine vision? With the help of a sketch the basic functions of a machine vision system. b) A video camera has 512512 pixel matrix. Each pixel must be converted from an analog signal to the corresponding digital signal by an ADC. The analog-to-digital conversion process takes 01 s to complete, including the time to move between pixels. How long will it take to collect the image data from one frame, and is this time compatible with processing at the rate of 30 frames per second? 8. c) With necessary sketches, explain scanning laser device and linear array device for measurement purpose. 7+4+9 7.

a) What are the basic principles for the design of plastic components? Discuss in detail. b) What are the types of cutting tools used for machining of plastics? Which types of machining are recommended for precision machine of plastics? Discuss in detail. 10+10

What are the ceramic materials used in Bio-medicals? What are the advantages of such materials in Bio-medical field? OR
