Q

4 important features of CMM

A

-hollow box construction of all moving members for maximum rigidity

-map of systematic errors in the machine is built up and fed into computer so error compensation is built up into software

  • all machines provided with their own computers and user friendly software

-thermocouples are incorporated throughout the machine used for compensation of temperature gradients thus providing increased accuracy and repeatability

Q

The ___ structure over the table carries the quill (zaxis) along the x axis. Sometimes referred to as the traveling bridge. It it claimed that the bridge construction provides better accuracy l, although this advantage maybe offset by the difficulty of making 2 members track in perfect alignment. By far the most popular construction

A

Bridge structure

Q

CMM can sense or touch the surface using a variety of devices such as these 2

A

-touch trigger point
-analogue measuring probes

17
Q

A ___ employs a form of kinematic (movement) location to retain stylus in a highly repeatable manner. A typical mechanism consist of 3 cylindrical rods, each of which is pressed against a pair of balls. This action constrains all 6 degrees of freedom of the stylus

A

Touch trigger probe

18
Q

The ___ is sometimes used in situations requiring extreme accuracy with rapid movement. It is an inductive measuring system meaning that it uses electric current to measure proximity to a target. It is non contact

A

Analogue measuring probes

19
Q

3 parts of a probe

A

-stylus
-head
-probe

20
Q

__ is the process of predicting the selling price of a workpiece. It’s a firm price that the machine shop gives to a customer before starting the job

A

Estimating

21
Q

___ are the expenses associated with running a machine shop. It includes both fixed and variable costs

A

Operating costs

22
Q

Fixed costs, also called overhead, include those expenses that are incurred whether or not the workpiece is produced. These expenses include these 3 things

A

-plant and equipment depreciation
-fire,theft and liability insurance
-salaries for staff not direction involved in production ie secretary, foreman and managers

23
Q

__ include those expenses that are incurred only if the workpiece is produced. Consists primarily of material and labor costs

A

Variable cost

24
Q

Begin the process of material cost by performing a __. It involves reffering to the lost of materials on the drawing to find the sizes and types of material needed for each workpiece. Add a cut off allowance to each part

A

Material take off

25
Q

Determine the __ by multiplying the amount of material needed for each wp by the total number of wp to be produced

A

Material requirement

26
Q

A __ acknowledges the fact that a certain percentage of workpieces is scrapped during production. Factors include
Skill of operator
Type and condition of machine tools
Type of work

A

Scrap allowance

Allowed 5%-10%

27
Q

___ are the hourly expenses of paying a machinist to produce the workpiece

A

Labour cost

28
Q

___ refers to the overall sequence of machining and production

A

Job planning

29
Q

___ refers to the step by step sequence of all operations that are required to produce the workpiece such as heat treating, welding and assembling. Once the process is planned, the estimator can determine the cost of each operation

A

Process planning

30
Q

The final estimate given to a customer is the __

A

Selling price

31
Q

The shop rate includes all cost and profit related to labor. T or f

A

Trhe

32
Q

5 steps to estimating the cost of labor are

A

-make a process plan
-prepare a machining sequence
-calculate how many extra wp to start to allow for scrap allowance
-Multiply the total # of wp including scrap allowance by the time it takes to make 1 piece
-multiply the total time for the job by the hourly rate of the shop
