COMPUTER-AIDED MANUFACTURING
INTRODUCTION OF CAM:
Computer-aided manufacturing can be defined as the use of computer systems to plan, manage,
and control the operations of a manufacturing plant through either direct or indirect computer interface
with the plant’s production resources. As indicated by the definition, the applications of computer-
aided manufacturing fall into two broad categories:
1. Computer monitoring and control. These are the direct applications in which the computer is
connected directly to the manufacturing process for the purpose of monitoring or controlling the
process.
2. Manufacturing support applications. These are the indirect applications in which the computer
is used in support of the production operations in the plant, but there is no direct interface
between the computer and the manufacturing process.
Computer monitoring and control can be separated in to monitoring applications and control
applications. Computer process monitoring involves a direct computer interface with the
manufacturing process for the purpose of observing the process and associated equipment and
collecting data from the process. The computer is not used to control the operation directly. The
control of the process remains in the hands of human operators. Who may be guided by the
information compiled by the computer .
` P a g e | 22
Computer process control goes one step further than monitoring by not only observing the
process but also controlling it based on the observations. The distinction between monitoring and
control is displayed in figure with computer monitoring the flow of data between the process and the
computer is in one directionally, from the process to the computer. in control, the computer interface
allows only for a two-way flow of data. Signals are transmitted from the process to the computer, just
as in the case of computer monitoring. In addition, the computer issues command signals directly to
the manufacturing process based on control algorithms contained in its software.
In addition to the applications involving a direct computer process interface for the purpose of
process monitoring and control, computer aided manufacturing also includes indirect applications in
which the computer serves a support role in the manufacturing operations of the plant .in these
applications ,the computer is not linked directly to the manufacturing process. Instead the computer is
used “offline” to provide plans, schedules, forecasts, instructions, and information by which the firm’s
production resources can be managed more effectively.
PRODUCTION SCHEDULING:
The computer determines an appropriate schedule for meeting production requirements.
MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS:
Planning the computer is used to determine when to order raw materials and purchased
components and how many should be ordered to achieve the production schedule.

However, the mass production system of manufacturing accounts for only about 20% of the
total manufactured parts.
The remaining demand is met by jobbing and the batch production systems. More than half of
the machine tools are engaged in small lot and piece production. These include general purpose
machine tools, Hydraulic tracer controlled machine tools and programmed operation cycle machine
tools. The general purpose machine tools, even though highly flexible(can easily changed from one
product to another) ,are not suitable for mass production, because of longer setup times, machine
and tool adjustments. All this results in low rates of production and delays in the delivery schedule.
Also, they require too highly skilled operators. Because of the intervention of operators, the
consistency in quality cannot be assured. Therefore, when consistency in quality and delivery
schedule are of prime importants, these machine tools are not suitable. Similarly, hydraulic tracer
controlled machine tools, required longer set up times while changing over to new jobs as these
machines require cams,templates,stops,electrical trip dogs etc……
Because of the above factors, a great need was felt for machine tools that could bridge the gap
between highly flexible, general purpose machine tools and highly specialized, but inflexible mass
production machines. Numerically controlled machine tools have taken up these role very well. These
machines are highly flexible and are economical for producing a single or a large no. of parts.
Numerical control, NC, can be defined simply as control by numbers. Electronics industries
association defines NUMERICAL CONTROL as “ a system in which actions are controlled by the
direct insertion of numerical data at some point. The system must automatically interpret at least
some portion of these data.” In numerically controlled machine tools, the input information for
controlling the machine tool motion is provided by means of punched paper tapes, plastic
tapes( mylar), floppy disk, hard disk or magnetic tapes in a coded language. Thus, with numerical
` P a g e | 47
control, the operation and motions of a tool are controlled electronically. NC machine tools are thus
automated production machines.
The key difference in this system is that of “ reprogrammability”. In NC, a changeover to a new
product, does not require extensive physical changes in the machine set up. Only a change in the
control program itself is required. Thus, the flexibility of general purpose machine tools can be
combined with the precision and accuracy of special-purpose machine tools. The human intervention,
as an interface translating the design information into machine tools. The human intervention, as an
interface translating the design information into machine activities, is replaced by some form of
information processing device, such as a computer.
The principles of NE were established in 1950s. However, with the availability of low-cost
programmable control,, based around the microprocessor in 1970s, this technology diffused widely.
This opened up the development of the concept of Computer Numerical Control (CNC), sophisticated,
multipurpose machining centres, complete with a range of support functions such as tool change,
head change, transport and manipulation and so on- all under computer control. The next
development was the idea of Direct (or distributed) Numerical Control ( DNC), in which more than one
machine tool (alongwith associated functions) could be grouped into a manufacturing cell under the
overall control of a larger, supervisory computer. The early numerically controlled machine tools were
milling and profiling machines that provided faster and less expensive means for producing aircraft
parts. Now, NC, has been applied to other machine tools, such as lathes, drilling and boring
machines, welding and flame cutting machines, punching machines and inspection devices.
The conventional NC system consists of basically two parts: Machine Tool and Machine Control Unit
(MCU).
` P a g e | 48
These are :
1. The machine control unit (MCU), also known as N.C. console or director.
4. Magnetic box.
5. Manual control.
1. Data Input. The instructions for manufacturing the component are written in a Coded language
( Paper tape is the most commonly used device ) are read by a tape reader.
2. Date Processing. The instruction undergo electronic processing resulting in information in the
form of electrical signals (pulsed commands).
3. Data Output. The control unit sends command signals to the drive units of machine tool and
also to the Electrical control cabinet called “Magnetic Box”. Command signals sent to the drive
units of the machine tool, control the lengths of travel and the feed rates , while the command
signals sent to the magnetic box control other functions such as : spindle motor starting and
stopping, selecting spindle speeds, actuation of tool change, coolant supply etc.
It is clear from above that MCU basically consists of two elements: Data Processing Unit
(CPU) and the Control Loops Units( CLU ).
The DPU process the data ( in coded form ) read from the tape or any other source and
passes the information regarding the various controls to CLU.
` P a g e | 49
- Complete path and feed rates of a cutter in relation to the workpiece or fixture
- All auxiliary functions such as turning cutting fluids off and on.
The CLU operates the drive mechanisms of the machine tool, receives feedback signals
regarding the actual position and velocity of each of the axes and signals the completion of the
operation.
The DPU reads and processes the data sequentially. When a line has completed execution as
signalled by CLU, the DPU reads and processes the next line of the programme and so on.
To check whether the required lengths of travel have been obtained, a feedback transducer is
provided. The feedback transducer sends the information of the actual position achieved to the
control unit. If there is any difference between the input command signal and the actual position
achieved, the drive unit is actuated by suitable amplifier from the error signal.
Manual control or operator control helps the operator to perform some functions manually such
as : motor start-stop, coolant supply control, axes movements, speed change, feed change etc.
CLASSIFICATION OF NC MACHINES:
NC machine tools can be classified in different ways. Based on the type of power drive
or the actuation system used, these are three common NC systems :
1. Electro-mechanical
2. Hydraulic, and
3. Pneumatic
The range of the machines performance capabilities and its application will normally depend
upon the type of the power source.
Hydraulic power provides the largest power. The movement of the machine slides is more
uniform in speed. However, the drawbacks are : Higher cost, noise, hydraulic contamination from
leaking fluid and the need for additional equipment such as reservoir, intensifier, valves, etc.
Pneumatic power is least expensive, because the shop air can be tapped for this purpose.
However, the motion of the workable is not uniform.
` P a g e | 50
Electro-mechanical drives are the most precise and the most commonly used power sources .
The group of electro-mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic equipment used to control the motion
of an NC machine is called the “Servo”.
1. Point-to-Point system
3. Contour system
Straight line system, figure is an extension of point-to-point system. Here the tool moves at a
controlled feed rate in one axis direction at a time. The examples of straight line system are; stepped
turning on lathe, pocket milling etc.
In contour or continuous path system, figure , there are continuous, simultaneous and co-
ordinated motions of the tool and the workpiece along different co-ordinate axes. The various lines,
contours and curved surfaces are machined by this system.
As discussed above, a command signal is sent to the machine tool o carry out a certain
operation. In the open loop system, there is no ‘feedback’ and no return signal to indicate whether the
tool has reached the correct position at the end of the operation, or not. Hence, there are no means of
knowing whether there is an error or not between the input command signal and the result achieved.
An example of open loop system is a co-ordinate drilling machine.
Figure illustrates an “open loop systems”. The command signal from the MCLU is given to the
servo-motor (here a stepper motor). The motor is driven a precise angular rotation for every pulse
issued by CLU. So, the response of the motor is in incremental steps. An incremental step of 1.8o is
common. This will result in a corresponding linear movement of the lead screw (depending upon it
lead) and hence of the machine slide.
In closed loop system, a ‘feedback’ is built into the system, which automatically monitors the position
of the tool. From the feedback signal to the control unit, it is automatically controlled until it is in the
right position. Such a device is known as a position feedback transducer. Common position feed back
` P a g e | 51
devices used on modern NC machines are : shaft encoders, liner scales or Inductosyns. In the
contour or continuous path system, velocity the feed drive system
A block diagram of a closed loop system is shown in fig. 16.4 (b). Since there is a continuous
monitoring of the positions, the drive is a continuous-positions device. These servomotors provide a
smoother and continuously controllable movement of the work-table.
A.C servo-motors have better reliability, better performance-to-weight ratio and lower power
consumption. So, these are rapidly replacing the DC servomotor on new NC machine tools
2. The co-ordinate values are prefixed with certain codes indicating the type of movement of
the tool (point-to-point, straight line, contour) from one co-ordinate to the next.
3. The co-ordinate values are also suffixed with certain codes indicating the various machine
functions, such as, start/stop, spindle coolant etc. The co-ordinate values are also
supplemented with other functions such as feed rates, spindle speeds, etc.
Programming to obtain the punched paper tape can either be done manually or with
The help of computer. Simple point-to-point programs can be easily developed manually, but more
complex ones, as well as almost all contouring programs are developed with the help of computers.
Before making the part programme, the programmer first studies the part drawing and decides
upon : the proper sequence of operations, the cutting tools, the path of the cutter/tools. Speeds and
feeds at various points and the other related information, such as starting and stopping of the
machine etc.
MANUAL PROGRAMMING:
The first step is to establish the zero the reference axes on the part drawing and determine set a
particular format acceptable to the machine tool-control unit combination. This sheet includes the
following information : the co-ordinate dimensions for each operations, the spindle traverse that
determines the depth of cut, the spindle speed and feed, tool change. After preparing the ‘programme
sheet’, the programmer uses it to prepare the punched paper tape on a typewriter-like tape punching
machine
1. Absolute System
2. Incremental System
In the absolute system, the co-ordinates of points are mentioned with respect to one reference
point, that is , datum. In the incremental system, the co-ordinates are written in the programme with
respect to the previous point. Referring to fig the co-ordinates of points A and B, in the two system,
are given as below:
Absolute System
X-co-ordinate Y-co-ordinate
Point A 5 5
Point B 10 15
Incremental System
Point A 5 5
Point B 5 10
APPLICATIONS OF NC MACHINES
The major applications of NC machines are:
1. For parts, which are complex and it will not be possible to manufacture them very accurately
on conventional machines, due to human error involved.
3. Repetitive and precision quality parts which are to be produced in low to medium batch
quantity.
4. In situations where the investment on tooling and fixture inventory will be high if the parts are
made on conventional machine tools.
ADVANTAGE:
1. Greater accuracy.
2. Lesser production cost per piece due to reduction in lead time and also set up time.
4. High production rates as the machining conditions (feeds and speeds) are optimized and the
non-machining times are reduced to minimum.
` P a g e | 53
6. Reduced inventory of ‘parts in process’ because parts can be made economically in smaller
quantities.
9. Changes in part design can be incorporated very easily and at a low cost by simply changing
parts of tape program.
10. Excellent reliability as the control equipment now is virtually all made of solid state modules.
11. Lower tooling costs as expensive jigs and fixtures are not required.
The major disadvantage of NC machines is their costs. Therefore, the machines must have
efficient use to justify the investment. Programming of NC machines has been greatly simplified
machine availability above 95% is common.
