Literature Review

Books, nonacademic websites and journals are the main source of date for this paper. Our main
focus of this literature review was to gathered information about the present techniques used for
making tap hole in a work piece and find out how we can make the tapping machine more
precise and accurate in it ‘s operation and how to automate the machine for this taping
operation using PLCs.
From the books we found the insight of the tapping operation for instance how tapping is
performed? Which material is suitable for tapping of certain work part? What are the main
parameter used while considering the tapping operation? What are the governing operation
equation used in tapping operation? How many process involves reaching to the final stage of the
tapping process?
While from the nonacademic websites we learn about PLCs. What PLC Is? What are the main
components of PLC? What is the main syntax for writing the PLC? Which PLC are used for
controlling certain types of Machine? Further in another website we found the basic layout how
we can use PLC for controlling the machine at different speed using pedal switch for switching
between the speed condition one and two condition and how to stop the machine with emergency
button using PLC.
Further on we found a journal which discuss the main senor and actuators used to control the
vertical mechanism and the rotatory motion of tapping tool. It explained how the vertical
motion and rotary motion is controlled by the Dc motor. And how the position of the object can
detected by the induction sensors. In addition to it. It describes how limit switches can be used to
limit the vertical motion of the vertical platform and it provides more information about what
other main electrical components can used. And how the state of operation can be monitored by
indication switches. This journal was found out to be a lot helpful for us as it provide most of the
insight of how and what components we are required to make and automatic precise and accurate
tapping machine.
Finally the last journal we review was also a lot interesting as it provide the complete insight of
how to use PLC for Automated tapping machine and what would be the PLC ladder look like for
these automated machine and how to can write code for the automated tapping machine and what
would be the PLC logic diagram for the tapping machine.
