Q

Product/Production line Layout

A

[A]–>[B]–>[C]–>[D]–>[E]

+ Suitable when a low throughput of the product is needed of a standardized product and when production can be organized based on the product flow

  • Sensitive to disturbances
  • Pace is set by the longest operation
    time
  • Sensitive to changes of the product
  • Involves a higher level of
    investment

Q

Cell Layout

A

[ Cell 1 | Cell 2 | Cell 3 ]
[ [A1][B1] | [B2] | [A3] [B4] ]
[ [A2][C1] | [C2] | [B3] [C3] ]

+ Suitable when there is need of fast throughput and there is need to organize production according to product variants.

  • Higher level of competence than for product layout
  • Difficult to balance
  • Lower utilization of machines

Q

MoveJ xx

A

Robot navigate to position xx.

The movement is of type: joint

18
Q

Sociotechnical

A

Processes and systems that are a combination of human (social) and machine (technical), and their operations depends on both

19
Q

Process model (Basic)

A

Inputs –>[Transformation]–>Outputs

20
Q

Goals when balancing a production line

A
  • Evenly distributed work at the stations on the line

- To balance the flow according to the TAKT-time

21
Q

Balance losses

A

The difference between the cycle time of a work station and the takt-time

22
Q

Operations that is hard to train virtually

A

Tactille and skill based aspects

23
Q

What impacts on a production rate

A
  • Variations in operation time
  • Breakdowns
  • Set up times
  • Material handeling time
  • Buffer sizes
24
Q

Vx

A

Sets the speed of the movement to x mm/s

25
Q

Zx

A

Zone size, indicates how close the robot must be to the target position

26
Q

Project Layout

A

+ handeling of material reduce
+ Very flexible
+ Continuity in the work

  • Increased mobility of staff and equipment
  • Low level of utilization
  • High unit cost
27
Q

Efficiency

A

Efficiency considerations assess to what degree the process uses resources well

28
Q

Effectiveness

A

Describes the process from the customer’s point of view: does
the process deliver the expected cost, quality, and lead time required by the customer?

29
Q

Lead time

A

The time required from customer order to delivery of the product or service

30
Q

Yield

A

The measure of what fraction of parts produced are acceptable. Low yield equals poor quality in a process

31
Q

32
Q

MoveJ p3, v10, z10, tool1 \WObj:=papper

A

The robot should move the tool1 TCP to p3 in coordinate system “papper” at the speed of 10mm/s using a non-defined joint movement path.

MoveJ p3 = robot should navigate to position p3, the movement is of type joint.
v10 = sets the speed of the movement, here 10mm/s
z10 = Zone size (accuracy). This indicates how close the robot must be to the target
Tool1 = Defines the tool center point, which is what will be position at p3.
\WObj:=papper = Defines the coordinate system in which p3 is given, in this case “papper”

33
Q

Why is there a growing need among manufacturing companies to work with virtual
technologies?

A

There is an increase in the rate of product introductions in today’s market.
This requires companies to change their production systems accordingly to accommodate the new products.
By working virtually, the changes can be verified offline before installation, which reduces changeover times and potential errors.

34
Q

Explain the difference between verification and validation of a simulation model.

A
  • Verification is the processes of making sure that the simulation model matches the conceptual model.
  • Validation is the process of making sure that the
    simulation model, including the input data, matches the real system.
35
Q

Mention one aspect of an assembly operation that is especially difficult to train virtually.

A

Tactile and skill-based aspects. Those are present mainly in the second and third
phase of the learning curve

36
Q

Mean time to repair (MTTR)

A

A basic measure of the maintainability of repairable items. It represents the average time required to repair a failed component or device.

37
Q

Mean time between failure (MTBF)

A

X

38
Q

What does it mean that a robot has 6 degrees of freedom (DOF)?

A

The robot is capable of both translating and rotate the

tool’s coordinate system relative to the X-, Y-, and Z-axis in a reference system.

39
Q

Mechanical constructs that can be used with an industrial robot:

A
  • Cartesian
  • Cylindrical
  • Polar
  • Articulated
  • Spherical
  • SCARA
  • Parallel
40
Q

Performance/Productivity?

A

Performance consist of the two basic categories effectiveness and efficiency, where
efficiency is the same thing as
productivity.

Productivity is the output in relation to input, the ratio between the output recieived from the production system in terms of product value delivered to customer and the input invested in producing a product

41
Q

Efficiency/Effectiveness?

A

Efficiency considerations assess to what degree the process uses resources well.

Effectiveness Describes the process from the customer’s point of view: does
the process deliver the expected cost, quality, and lead time required by the customer?
