Accurate Robot Motion-Time Model of Start/Stop Point-to-Point Operations
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1996)An accurate robot motion-time (ARM-Time) model is explored to be used in predicting, with an unprecedented accuracy, the motion time of start/stop point-to-point operations. Unlike the existing ... -
An Empirical Model of a Resistance Brazing Process for Joining Circuit Breaker Contacts
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995)Resistance brazing is extensively used to permanently join dissimilar materials. The electromechanical equipment production industry relies on this process to join dispersion-strengthened, ceramic ... -
A Split Image Vision Sensor
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995)A vision sensor has been developed that uses only two lenses, a split prism, and a detector to acquire an image. This system uses the split prism to create a split image such that the ... -
A Study on Mathematical Modeling of Parameter Optimization in Gas Tungsten Arc (GTA) Welding of Thin Pipes
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995)In order to estimate the optimal process parameter in circumferential GTA welding of thin pipes, the objective was chosen to maintain a uniform bead width over the full circumferential joint, ... -
Analysis of Energy Partition in Grinding
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995)An analysis is presented for the fraction of the energy transported as heat to the workpiece during grinding. The abrasive grains and grinding fluid in the wheel pores are considered as a ... -
Towards Automated Design of the Feed System of Injection Molds by Integrating CAE, Iterative Redesign and Features
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995)A prototype software system that automatically designs the gating and runner systems, which comprise the feed system, of injection molds is described. The system, called AMDS (Automated Mold ... -
Finite Element Simulation of Orthogonal Metal Cutting
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995)The development and implementation of a plane-strain finite element method for the simulation of orthogonal metal cutting with continuous chip formation are presented. Detailed work-material modeling, ... -
An Uncertainty Analysis Method for Coordinate Referencing in Manufacturing Systems
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995)Accurate and consistent transformations between design and manufacturing coordinate systems are essential for high quality part production. Fixturing and coordinate measurement are common coordinate ... -
Designing Multiple-Load Automated Guided Vehicle Systems for Delivering Material from a Central Depot
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995)We develop and illustrate an approach for design of shop floor automated guided vehicle systems (AGVSs) with multiple-load capacity. Vehicles provide material from a central depot to shop floor ... -
Studies on Double-Side Shearing with Parallel and Straight Cutting Edges (Prevention of Tool Breakage by Bevelled Punches with High Slenderness Ratio)
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995)In the present investigation the cutting edge of a slender punch was bevelled in an attempt to prevent bending or breakage in use. Tests with Kovar sheet showed that use of a bevelled punch ... -
Built-up Edge Elimination in Mirror Cutting of Hardened Steel
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995)A built-up edge will normally give a poor finish. The conventional way of eliminating the built-up edge is to increase cutting speed and feed (i.e., increase tool face temperature). It is ... -
Algorithm for Multiple Disassembly and Parallel Assemblies
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995)We consider the geometric problem of generating efficient sequences for disassembling components. First, a classification of assemblies is proposed based on logical, dimensional and geometric ... -
Engineering Risk Assessment in Manufacturing Products with Short Time-to-Market Windows
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995)This paper establishes the concept of manufacturing risk assessment based on design features. It also presents a methodology for assessing risks associated with producing feature-rich products ... -
Surface Smoothing Mechanism by Replication in Ironing Process
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1995)The purpose of this paper is to clarify the surface smoothing process under contact states with a small relative slide between the tool and workpiece. An internal ironing apparatus was developed ... -
