Essays on CNC

Abstract

I believe that the integration of digital technology in designs is very necessary and cannot be avoided. This is because of its extensive effects on architecture and its general ambiguity. This paper, I believe, will make it possible for individuals and institutions to analyze and decide appropriately on the use of digital prefabrication, as a new technology in the design systems. Although many opinions have been presented with different position statements, the immediacy of proactive consideration on the digital systems is of utmost importance. In this paper, I have explored the relationship between CAD and CAM, computer and production.

Chapter 11, pg. 427: Denver Goes Alfresco

- What type of problems was the consolidated city-county government of Denver, Colorado, experiencing with documented management before instating the Alfresco ECM system?

Before the introduction of the Alfresco ECM system, the consolidated city-county government of Denver, Colorado experienced many problems with the documented management system. Before introducing the Alfresco ECM system, more than 70 of the consolidated city-county government used 14 different documented management systems, none of which could communicate or interact with each other (Laudon & Laudon, 2012).

The information Technology department had to manually supervise many stand-alone autonomous IT units with their own systems and standards. Using a decentralized system created problems, including document sharing, document security, and the ability to audit record keeping functions, especially financial records and scanned ...

There are numerous factors in an organization’s macro-environment that naturally affect manager’s decisions. New laws, tax changes, demographic change, government policy and trade barrier changes all have an impact on an organization. This paper analyzes the political environment, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental environments of health care industry in Ontario.

It is evident that there is a growing political pressure on healthcare authorities across provinces. For instance, currently, the Ontario’s government health care stands at 42% of the total program spending. Equally, due to the state’s political stability and the likelihood of an increase in ...

Machining Technology is a manufacturing process that involves the foundational and basic principles about cutting via the application of various cutting tools. Despite the many modern technological advancement in this field of material science, it cannot be denied that there are the same principles involved both from the traditional and modern up-to-date techniques. Machining is the application of process used for shaping metals as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Cross sectional view of the machining process. The machining technology is applied in various work materials especially in the use of metals. It is used to shape and ...

INTRODUCTION.

Amongst the sectors that have embraced technology in the past few decades is the aircraft industry. This is in response to improve on reliability, product/service quality, and increase on labor productivity as well as cut down on related costs. Technology use in the sector comes in form of machine automation, and tools used in manufacturing that never existed before (Kalpakjian 2001, pp. 5). This involves a widespread use of computer-aided manufacture and designs, computerized numerical controls. The use of technology in the sector has also been stimulated by the need to develop decreased labor intensive products by manufacturing products such ...

The life of a student is filled with many formative moments. Doing well on an exam is always a happy event and cements the semester’s learning. Success on the National Organization for Exceptional Student’s Talents exam made a lasting impression on me and instilled a deep appreciation of academic discipline to achieve one’s goals. In my elementary school I became deeply interested in mathematics and was fascinated by the application of numbers and formulas through mathematical technique to solve practical problems in our environments. In high school, I was introduced to Industrial Engineering and I learned that optimization and calculus ...

Hepatitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the liver. The prefix hepat is the medical term for liver just as the term cardio is the medical term for the heart. The suffix –itis means inflammation and has been known for its attachments to many prefixes that represent different parts of the body. For instance, tonsillitis means inflammation of the tonsils, arthritis means inflammation of the joints, and bronchitis means inflammation of the bronchi in the lungs. When a part of the body or organ system is inflamed it means that there is a swelling or enlargement. This usually leads to other ...

The implementation of CIM in a manufacturing plant

CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) involves all the range of product development and manufacturing activities using dedicated software packages to carry out all functions. It is an integrative tool which is capable of increasing the quality, productivity, and gives an organization a competitive edge over others. CIM has also been seen as a management technology which has made the possibility of achieving, in the future, a fully automated factory feasible. This is due to the fact that CIM allows an organization to fully control and integrate all manufacturing and design functions, thereby automating them. CIM therefore provides massive menu of possibilities involving numerous ...

Abstract

This dissertation paper is based on the development of the equations used for the design of CFA piles and more specific on granular soils. Tests that may be used in obtaining the required geotechnical parameters used in the designing of the equations are also reviewed. The tests based approaches are to allow contractors and designers to come up the best piles required for a certain project due to the parameters identified. Assumptions and errors resulting in the equation design are also covered. Present. Step-by-step method formulations of equations that are used for designing CFA piles are presented.

Key WordsCFA, drilled displacement piles, CPT, PDT and testing.

Computer Numerical Control

Computer Numerical Control (CNC), initially known as Numerical Control (NC), is the process of automating operations of a manufacturing machine depending on coding of letters, numbers and special characters. It involves the operation of conceptually programmed commands on a storage medium. It uses computers on a very large scale of the control where a set of coded commands or instructions are used to execute operation. The instructions are referred to as programs which are translated into electrical signals for input to motors that run the machines (Hauth 2011). The process of creating programs using numerical control is known as computer aided programming. This ...

Recommendations: Thicketwood should purchase the new CNC router offered by High Tech Inc. Company’s manufacturing should be adjusted according to the increasing demand and the new capacity.

Short/Medium Term – Immediately to One Month

1) Thicketwood should purchase the router from High Tech. This machine offers a reduction of expenditures on line workers and maintenance. The price difference with the router from TDL Products Co. will be covered within the life span of the High Tech’s machine. Moreover, longer life of the High Tech’s router and a service warranty reduce the uncertainty of future operations. 2) Adjust Thicketwood’s staffing. Reallocate three current line workers ...

Introduction

Multi-axis milling machine typically refers to computer aided machine that helps in rotating tools used in milling away excess parts of metals in the manufacturing process. The machine supports rotation around single or multiple axes and able to support 3-5 axes translation. In the recent years, various computer softwares have been made available to help in automation of the multi-axis milling machine (Elber,1992). The enhancement of the global technology and multinational enterprise, more reasonable research and development have made most of the producing organizations to adjust, design and configure these tools to match the supply chain system. ...
