Seventh Semester Aeronautical Engineering ME 1403 - COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING (Common to Production Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering and Mechanical Engineering) (Common to B.E. (Part-Time) Sixth Semester Mechanical EngineeringRegulation 2005) (Regulation 2004) Time : Three hours Answer ALL questions. PART A - (10 x 2 = 20 marks) 1. 2. What are the components of manufacturing system? A total of 800 shafts must be produced in the lathe section of the machine shop during a particular week. Each shaft is identical and requires a machine cycle time 11.5 minutes. All of the lathes in the department are equivalent in terms of their capability to produce the shaft in the specified cycle time. How many lathes must be devoted to shaft production during the given week, if there are 40 hours of available time on each lathe? By whom and when was Group technology first documented? What is meant by rout sheet? Classify FMS according to the king of operations performed. What are the technologies used for automatic data collection? Write short notes on 'CIMOSA'.
