PART- A
1. Define NC system?
NC is defined as a form of programmable automation in which the process is
controlled by alphanumeric data.
2. What is MCU?
MCU is a hardware system which reads, interprets and translates the program
of instructions into mechanical action of machine tool.
3. List out any four advantage of using NC?
Increased flexibility.
Reduced setup time.
Production of complex part.
Elimination of special jigs and fixtures.
4. What are the limitations of using NC?
Relatively high price.
More complicated maintenance, a special crew is desirable.
Highly skilled and properly trained programmers are needed.
5. What are all the problems encountered with NC system?
Part programming mistakes.
Non-optional speeds and feeds.
Problem with punched tape and tape reader.
Problem with controller and management information.
6. Define CNC?
CNC is defined as a NC system that utilizes a dedicated, stored computer
program to perform some or the entire basic NC functions.
7. Write the main functions of CNC?
Machine tool control.
In-process compensation.
Improved programming and operating features.
Diagnostics
8. What are the functions of diagnostic system in NC machine tools?
To identify the reason for a down time occurrence so that maintenance
personal should make repairs fast.
11. List the differences between open loop and closed loop control system?
12. List any two advantages and disadvantages of open loop control system?
Advantages:
Low cost and less manual work.
Disadvantages:
Low accuracy.
Periodically adjustments are required to compensate backlash errors.
13. What is the function of a transducer?
Transducer is a device in which one form of physical quantity like speed,
velocity is converted into another form of physical quantity.
14. What are all the basic elements of closed loop control system?
a. Input parameter
b. Output variable
c. Controller.
