    DRAFT – Subject to NIST approval 1.5 IMPACTS OF AUTOMATION ON PRECISION1 M. Alkan Donmez and Johannes A. Soons Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory National Institute of Standards and Technology Gaithersburg, MD 20899 ABSTRACT Automation has significant impacts on the economy and the development and use of technology. In this section, the impacts of automation on precision, which directly influences science, technology, and the economy, are discussed. As automation enables improved precision, precision also improves automation. Followed by the definition of precision and the factors affecting precision, the relationship between precision and automation is described. This section concludes with specific examples of how automation has improved the precision of manufacturing processes and manufactured products over the last decades. 1.5.1 What is precision Precision is the closeness of agreement between a series of individual measurements, values, or results. For a manufacturing process, precision describes how well the process is capable of producing products with identical properties. The properties of interest can be the dimensions of the product, its shape, surface finish, color, weight, etc. For a device or instrument, precision describes the invariance of its output when operated with the same set of inputs. Measurement precision is defined by the International Vocabulary of Metrology [1] as the "closeness of agreement between indications obtained by replicate measurements on the same or similar objects under specified conditions." In this definition, the "specified conditions" describe whether precision is associated with the repeatability or the reproducibility of the measurement process. Repeatability is the closeness of the agreement between results of successive measurements of the same quantity carried out under the same conditions.

It is on every machine we build. That’s why we’ll stand behind you on every one 24/7. Hautau makes world-class tube cutoff machines and systems. They are designed, engineered and built by American craftsmen in the fields of southeast Indiana. Charles F. Hautau Sr, company founder, was a gifted inventor who held over 60 patents including rotary-head cutoff and CNC tube bending. Charles Jr. and Fred have carried on the tradition, building a wide range of innovative machinery for over forty years. Among our early machines was one to trim the ends of mufflers. Because the muffler Charlie Hautau could not spin, our design featured a rotating head. After twenty years of building tube cutting and processing machines and other custom automation, we decided to apply the rotating head concept to cutting thick wall steel tubing. This would form the basis for our standard product line. Traditional tube cutoff lathes have a headstock with a through hole up to two feet deep, so tube feeding methods are limited. The tube can be machined on just one end. Short cuts can fly out and long cuts need outboard support rollers.

The 90° indexing fixture accepts the Matrix pallet and drawbar from System 3R. The pallets can be either manually loaded and indexed or integrated to a fully automated manufacturing cell. The following options are available for mounting of the workpiece Directly to Matrix pallet. To a reference system. To a manual vise. To a magnetic chuck. Mounting directly to Matrix Pallet The workpiece can be mounted directly to the Matrix pallet (approx 5” diameter) utilizing a series of predrilled holes. The pallet is also available in a 6” automation ready version which allows for custom hole layouts for specific applications. Larger sub-plates are easily implemented for custom mounting, jigs, etc. Mounting to a Reference System Many facilities are already using System 3R, Erowa or Hirschmann referencing systems. Already mounted components can be used by mounting the preferred referencing system manual chuck to the face of the Matrix pallet. The Matrix pallet is still used for the indexing function.

Mohd Ariffin and B. T. Hang Tuah b. Baharudin Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia, UPM Serdang 43400, Selangor, Malaysia * Correspondence: [email protected] (S.D.); [email protected] (M.I.S.b.I.) Received: 3 July 2019; Accepted: 23 July 2019; Published: 29 August 2019 Abstract: Difficult-to-machine materials are metals that have great toughness, high work-hardening, and low thermal conductivity. Friction drilling of difficult-to-machine materials is a technically challenging task due to the difficulty of friction drilling, leading to excessive tool wear, which adversely affects surface integrity and product performance. In the present study, the microstructural changes of workpieces and tool wear for friction drilling of AISI304, Ti-6Al-4V, and Inconel718 are characterized. It helps to have an in-depth understanding of heat generation mechanics by friction and the mechanism of the friction drilling process. The study contributes to providing an enhanced microstructural characterization of workpiece and tool conditions, which identifies the material behavior and shows how it affects the bushing formation quality and drilling tool performance. The results reveal that the abrasive wear is mostly observed in the conical region of the tool, which has maximum contact with hole-wall. Moreover, the low thermal conductivity of Ti-6Al-4V increases frictional heat generation severely, and reduces product quality and tool life subsequently.
