- 2. Costs A periodic cost that remains (more or less) unchanged irrespective of the output level or sales revenue of a firm.
- 4. Motor Any motor that is modified to give feedback concerning the motor's speed, direction of rotation, and number of revolutions.
- 5. 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.
- 7. A process that removes excess material to change the size, shape, or surface.
- 9. Defines a number of general properties for a set of machining operations.
- 10. Handling The loading, moving, and unloading of materials.
- 11. The route that a tool will follow to machine the feature.
- 15. 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. Control System Provides a logical sequence for a robot to follow.
- 19. What one intends to do or bring about.
- 20. Computer Aided Design. The use of computers in converting the initial idea for a product into a detailed engineering design.
- 22. Resources Biological materials that can be replaced.
- 24. Flaws An imperfection in an object or machine.
- 25. Placing of the material in a protected location.
- 27. Processing The step in manufacturing where primary processed material are processed into a final product.
- 29. The monetary surplus left to a producer or employer after deducting wages, rent, cost of raw materials, etc.
- 31. Height The height that the tool moves up to before the next cutting pass.
- 38. The repeated execution of a series of instructions for a variable number of times
- 43. A rapid prototyping process that fabricates a part layer-wise by hardening a photopolymer with a guided laser beam.
- 45. See Incremental.
- 46. Speed The number of revolutions per minute (rpm) that is made by the cutting tool of a machine.
- 47. 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
- 48. To Leave Specifies the amount of radial stock to leave after a roughing pass.
- 49. A single line of code in an NC part program
- 50. of Freedom A variable by which an object can move.
Down
- 1. 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. Quality control
- 5. 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.
- 6. Variable A variable whose value depends on the value of another variable.
- 8. Independent Variable
- 9. Offset The distance that the machining boundary extends beyond the stock boundary in the x- and y-axis
- 12. A full-scale working model used to test and improve a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments.
- 13. A microprocessor used for precise process control in data handling, communication, or manufacturing.
- 14. Laser Sintering A rapid prototyping process that used a moving laser beam to sinter heat-fusible powders one layer at a time.
- 16. 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.
- 18. 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.
- 21. 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.
- 23. Process flow that may repeat or skip steps until some condition is satisfied.
- 26. Manufacturing The systematic elimination of waste.
- 28. Imperfect in form or function.
- 30. A mechanical device that can be programmed to perform a variety of tasks of manipulation and locomotion under automatic control.
- 32. Dealing with production, distribution, and consumption of products or wealth.
- 33. A force that produces or tends to produce rotation or torsion.
- 34. 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.
- 35. Pause in the manufacturing process; material is held for the next operation.
- 36. Prototyping Computer-controlled additive fabrication.
- 37. Casting Similar to permanent mold casting except that the metal is injected into the mold under high pressure.
- 39. 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).
- 40. 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.
- 41. Loop A control system that has no means for comparing the output with input for control purposes.
- 42. Production A system used in industry by which many products can be produced at a reduced cost.
- 44. Height The height that describes the top of the cut.
- 47. 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.
