Across
  1. 2. Variable A variable whose value depends on the value of another variable.
  2. 5. Casting A process of pressing moist sand around a pattern to make a mold. The pattern is removed, leaving a cavity in the sand. The cavity is the mold that will be filled with liquid metal. The result will be a casting that is identical in shape to the original pattern
  3. 6. Computer Aided Manufacturing. The use of software and machines to automate the process of making products.
  4. 9. A full-scale working model used to test and improve a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments.
  5. 11. Offset The distance that the machining boundary extends beyond the stock boundary in the x- and y-axis
  6. 12. Manufacturing The systematic elimination of waste.
  7. 15. Placing of the material in a protected location.
  8. 18. A process that removes excess material to change the size, shape, or surface.
  9. 19. Process Processes that remove material to change the size, shape, or surface of a part. There are two groups of separating processes: machining and shearing.
  10. 20. Laser Sintering A rapid prototyping process that used a moving laser beam to sinter heat-fusible powders one layer at a time.
  11. 23. Imperfect in form or function.
  12. 24. Resources Biological materials that can be replaced.
  13. 26. Dealing with production, distribution, and consumption of products or wealth.
  14. 29. Flaws An imperfection in an object or machine.
  15. 31. A microprocessor used for precise process control in data handling, communication, or manufacturing.
  16. 33. in Time A system that eliminates work-in-process (WIP) inventory by scheduling arrival of parts and assemblies for an operation at the time they are needed and not before.
  17. 34. Height The height that describes the top of the cut.
  18. 35. Loop A control system that has no means for comparing the output with input for control purposes.
  19. 37. Angle The amount of angular compensation, around the Z axis, needed between a robotic arm and it's end effector to correct the rotation of payload. Used to align payload during stacking and palletizing operations.
  20. 39. Automated Guided Vehicle. A computer-controlled system that uses pallets and other interface equipment to transport work pieces to NC machine tools and other equipment in a flexible manufacturing system.
  21. 41. The monetary surplus left to a producer or employer after deducting wages, rent, cost of raw materials, etc.
  22. 42. A mechanical device that can be programmed to perform a variety of tasks of manipulation and locomotion under automatic control.
  23. 43. Pause in the manufacturing process; material is held for the next operation.
  24. 44. To Leave Specifies the amount of radial stock to leave after a roughing pass.
  25. 46. See Incremental.
  26. 47. What one intends to do or bring about.
  27. 49. Control System Provides a logical sequence for a robot to follow.
  28. 51. A representation of a situation or problem with a similar but simpler model or a more easily manipulated model in order to determine experimental results.
Down
  1. 1. The return to the input of a part of the output of a machine, system, or process (as for producing changes in an electronic circuit that improve performance or in an automatic control device that provide self-corrective action).
  2. 3. The process of letting a program know that you plan to use a variable, what you want to call it, and how big it is.
  3. 4. Process Processes that remove material to change the size, shape, or surface of a part. There are two groups of separating processes: machining and shearing.
  4. 7. Process flow that may repeat or skip steps until some condition is satisfied.
  5. 8. Defines a number of general properties for a set of machining operations.
  6. 10. Height The height that the tool moves up to before the next cutting pass.
  7. 13. Automated Storage/Retrieval System. A system that moves material either vertically or horizontally between a storage compartment and a transfer station or within a process.
  8. 14. Speed The number of revolutions per minute (rpm) that is made by the cutting tool of a machine.
  9. 16. of Freedom A variable by which an object can move.
  10. 17. A rapid prototyping process that fabricates a part layer-wise by hardening a photopolymer with a guided laser beam.
  11. 19. Motor Any motor that is modified to give feedback concerning the motor's speed, direction of rotation, and number of revolutions.
  12. 21. Computer Aided Design. The use of computers in converting the initial idea for a product into a detailed engineering design.
  13. 22. Costs A periodic cost that remains (more or less) unchanged irrespective of the output level or sales revenue of a firm.
  14. 25. A force that produces or tends to produce rotation or torsion.
  15. 27. Processing The step in manufacturing where primary processed material are processed into a final product.
  16. 28. A single line of code in an NC part program
  17. 29. Casting Similar to permanent mold casting except that the metal is injected into the mold under high pressure.
  18. 30. Quality control
  19. 32. Prototyping Computer-controlled additive fabrication.
  20. 36. A multi-pallet system that can work on several types of parts at the same time but is independent of other systems. A stand-alone system can be integrated into an FMS.
  21. 38. The repeated execution of a series of instructions for a variable number of times
  22. 40. Sigma A highly structured methodology that incorporates techniques and tools for eliminating defects and variability from a process. To achieve Six Sigma, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities.
