MCQ On CNC Machine

This document provides explanations for 10 multiple choice questions about CNC machining processes. Key points covered include: - In machining, material is removed through a shearing process caused by relative motion between the workpiece and tool. - The depth that the tool is plunged into the surface is called the depth of cut. - Feed is measured in units of length/revolution and refers to the amount of material removed per revolution of the tool. - CNC machining centers perform operations like milling, drilling, boring and tapping but not welding. Multiple microprocessors work in parallel for simultaneous control of machine axes.

1. In machining of a workpiece, the material is removed by_____


a) drilling action
b) melting action
c) shearing acting
d) using brittleness of the material
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: There are different machining processes, such as turning, milling, boring etc. In all these
cases metal is removed by a shearing process, which occurs due to the relative motion between the
workpiece and the tool. Generally, one of the two rotates at designated and generally high speed, causing
the shearing of material (known as chips), from the workpiece. The other moves relatively slowly to effect
removal of metal throughout the workpiece.
2. The depth that the tool is plunged into the surface is called as ______
a) feed
b) depth of cut
c) depth of tool
d) working depth
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The depth of cut, DOC is the depth that the tool is plunged into the surface. Feed defines the
relative lateral movement between the cutting tool and the workpiece. Thus, together with the depth of cut,
feed decides the cross section of the material removed for every rotation of the job or the tool.
3. Feed is measured in units of _____
a) length/revolution
b) degree/revolution
c) length
d) velocity
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Feed is the amount of material removed for each revolution or per pass of the tool over the
workpiece and is measured in units of length/revolution, length/pass or other appropriate units for the
particular process.
4. CNC machining centres do not include operations like ______
a) milling
b) boring
c) welding
d) tapping
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: CNC machining centres are developed for machining prismatic components combining
operations like milling, drilling, boring and tapping. Gradually machines for manufacturing cylindrical
components, called turning centres are also developed.
5. In CNC systems multiple microprocessors and programmable logic controllers work ______
a) in parallel
b) in series
c) one after the other
d) for 80% of the total machining time
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: In CNC systems multiple microprocessors and programmable logic controllers work in parallel
for simultaneous servo position and velocity control of several axes of a machine for contour cutting as well
as monitoring of the cutting process and the machine tool.
6. Which of the following is not the advantage of CNC machines?
a) Higher flexibility
b) Improved quality
c) Reduced scrap rate
d) Improved strength of the components
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: CNC machines offer the following advantages in manufacturing:
• Higher flexibility
• Increased productivity
• Improved quality
• Reduced scrap rate
• Reliable and Safe operation
• Smaller footprint.
7. In how many ways CNC machine tool systems can be classified?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: CNC machine tool systems can be classified in various ways such as:
• Point-to-point or contouring: depending on whether the machine cuts metal while the workpiece moves
relative to the tool
• Incremental or absolute: depending on the type of coordinate system adopted to parameterise the motion
commands
• Open-loop or closed-loop: depending on the control system adopted for axis motion control.
8. Point-to-point systems are used for _____
a) reaming
b) parting
c) grooving
d) facing
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Such systems are used, typically, to perform hole operations such as drilling, boring, reaming,
tapping and punching. In a PTP system, the path of the cutting tool and its feed rate while traveling from
one point to the next are not significant, since, the tool is not cutting while there is motion.
9. In part programming, interpolation is used for obtaining _______ trajectory.
a) helicoidal
b) pentagonal
c) triangular
d) zig-zag
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Interpolation consists of the calculation of the coordinated movement of several axes using
the programmed parameters, in order to obtain a resulting trajectory, which can be of various types, such
as:
– Straight line
– Circular
– Helicoidal.
10. For CNC machining skilled part programmers are needed.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The main disadvantages of NC systems are:
• Relatively higher cost compared to manual versions
• More complicated maintenance due to the complex nature of the technologies
