Automation and CADCAM

What is automation?

• Process or procedure is accomplished

  without human assistance.

• Require computer

• Need human intelligence

• human energy is required

Basic elements of an automated system:

• Power

• Control system

• Program of instructions

• Operator

What is the difference between a closed-loop control

system and an open-loop control system?

• closed loop has a feedback loop system.

• open loop is more expensive

• closed loop is simpler

• in open control system, output variable is compared

What is safety monitoring in an automated system?

• safety helmet must be wear by operator

• Augmented realty

• involves the use of sensors to track the system's operation and identify conditions and events that are unsafe

• safety officer assign to every machine

How CAD System is used in Product Design

• Geometric Modelling

• Engineering Analysis

• Design evaluation and Review

• Drafting

How CAM system is used in Product Design

• Toolpath generation

• Analysis of machining simulation

• Machining Tool selections

• Finite Element Analysis
