Manufacturing Engineering Questions & Answers – Computer Integrated Manufacturing

This set of Manufacturing Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Computer Integrated Manufacturing”.

1. During the execution of a CNC part program block NO20 GO2 X45.0 Y25.0 R5.0 the type of tool motion will be
a) circular Interpolation – clockwise
b) circular Interpolation – counterclockwise
c) linear Interpolation
d) rapid feed
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Given:-NO20 GO2 X45.0 Y25.0 R5.0
Here term X45.0 Y25.0 R5.0 will produce circular motion because radius is consider in this term and GO2 will produce clockwise motion of the tool.

2. In an NC machining operation, the tool has to be moved from point (5, 4) to point (7, 2) along a circular path with centre at (5, 2). Before starting the operation, the tool is at (5, 4). The correct G and N codes for this motion are
a) N010GO3X7.0Y2.0I5.0J2.0
b) N010GO2X7.0Y2.0I5.0J2.0
c) N010GO1X7.0Y2.0I5.0J2.0
d) N010GOOX7.0Y2.0I5.0J2.0
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Given : Initial point (5, 4), Final point (7, 2), Centre (5, 4)
So, the G, N codes for this motion are N010GO2X7.0Y2.0 15.0J2.0
where, GO2 ” Clockwise circular interpolation
X7.0Y2.0 ” Final point
I5.0J2.0 ” Centre point.

3. The tool of an NC machine has to move along a circular arc from (5, 5) to (10, 10) while performing an operation. The centre of the arc is at (10, 5). Which one of the following NC tool path command performs the above mentioned operation?
a) N010 GO2 X10 Y10 X5 Y5 R5
b) N010 GO3 X10 Y10 X5 Y5 R5
c) N010 GO1 X5 Y5 X10 Y10 R5
d) N010 GO2 X5 Y5 X10 Y10 R5
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: N010 “represent start the operation
GO2 “represent circular (clock wise) interpolation
X10Y10 “represent final coordinates
X5Y5 “represent starting coordinate
R5 “represent radius of the arc
So, NC tool path command is, N010 GO2 X10 Y10 X5 Y5 R5.

4. NC contouring is an example of
a) continuous path positioning
b) point-to-point positioning
c) absolute positioning
d) incremental positioning
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: NC contouring is a continuous path positioning system. Its function is to synchronize the axes of motion to generate a predetermined path, generally a line or a circular arc.

NC code      Definition
P. M05     1. Absolute coordinate system
Q. G01     2. Dwell
R. G04     3. Spindle stop
S. G09     4. Linear interpolation

a) P-2, Q-3, R-4, S-1
b) P-3, Q-4, R-1, S-2
c) P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-1

Answer: c
Explanation: NC code Definition
P. M05 3. Spindle stop
Q. G01 4. Linear interpolation
R. G04 2. Dwell
S. G09 1. Absolute coordinate system
So, correct pairs are, P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-1.
