(Answer all five units, 5 X 10 = 50 Marks)
UNIT - I
2 Explain the three basic elements of an automated system.
OR
3 Explain the various levels of automation with their hierarchy in a production plant.
UNIT - II
4 What is storage buffer and why these are used in automated production lines?
OR
5 Explain the different types of manual assembly lines with respect to product variety.
UNIT - III
6 Sketch and explain in brief a polar coordinate robot with a three axis wrist.
OR
7 Sketch and explain the position sensor of potentiometer type.
UNIT - IV
8 For the vector , perform the following homogeneous transformations:
(a) Rotation 90 about X-axis.
(b) Translation by 8 units in X-direction, 5 units in Y-direction and zero in the Z-direction.
OR
9 A jointed – arm robot of configuration RRR is to move all three axes so that the first joint is rotated
through 50 , the second joint is rotated through 90 and the third joint is rotated through 25 . Maximum
speed of any of these rotational joints is 10 /S. By ignoring the effects of acceleration and deceleration
determine: (i) The time required to move each joint if skew-motion is used. (ii) The time required to move
the arm to the desired position and the rotational velocity of each – joint, if joint – interpolation motion is
used.
UNIT - V
10 Explain the different ways of accomplishing lead through method of robot programming.
OR
11 Explain the features and capabilities required for an arc welding robot.
