MCL783 : Automation in Manufacturing
[edit]Introduction to Automation of different manufacturing processes. Types of systems - mechanical, electrical, electronics; Data conversion devices, transducers, signal processing devices, relays, contactors and timers. Sensors and their interfaces; Hydraulics & Pneumatic Systems design and their application to manufacturing equipment; Sequence operation of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders and motors; Electro Pneumatic & Electro Hydraulic Systems design, Relay Logic circuits, Feedback control systems, PID Controller; Drives and mechanisms of an automated system: stepper motors, servo drives. Ball screws, linear motion bearings, electronic caming and gearing, indexing mechanisms, tool magazines, and transfer systems. Programmable Logic Controllers, I/Os, system interfacing, ladder logic, functional blocks, structured text, and applications. Human Machine Interface & SCADA; Motion controller and their programming, PLCOpen Motion Control blocks, multi axes coordinated motion, CNC control; RFID technology and its application; Machine vision and control applications. Modular Production Systems – Distribution, Conveying, Pick & Place etc. Laboratory work will be hands-on design and operation of automatic systems.
