MACHINE TOOL CONTROL AND AUTOMATS PRE-REQUISITE: Nil
Faculty: Dr. P. Anotem
OBJECTIVE: To study on the control methods through mechanical, electrical and pneumatic devices.
1. BASIC CONCEPTS OF DRIVES (8) General principles of applications of hydraulic, pneumatic, electric controls-mfinitely variable speed control in hydraulic and pneumatics. Hydraulic principles-hydraulic pumps- chai-acteristics-pirnip selection-pumping circuits
2. HYDRAULIC ELEMENTS & HYDRAULICS APPLICATIONS (8) Hydraulic actuators-linear and rotary- selection characteristics-hydraulic valves-pressure-flow-direction controls -applications-hydraulic fluids-symbols- accumulator circuits-safety circuits - design of hydraulic circuits for machine tools.
3. MECHATRONICS (8) Mechatronics Approach - integrated product design - Man machine interface - micro sensors- examples of mechatronics systems from robotics, manufacturing machine diagnostic
4. PNEUMATICS AND ITS APPLICATION (8) Pneumatic fandamentals-control elements-logic circuits - position - pressure sensing - switching -electro pneumatic circuits- circuits cascade circuits
5. AUTOMATS (7) Semi automats-automats-transfer lines - automatic assembly - transfer devices and feeders- classifications and applications-job orienting and picking devices- setting of automats and transfer lines
