Automation and robotics
• Automation
– Technology concern with the use of mechanical,
electronic and computer based system in the
operation and control of production.
• Robotics
– A form of industrial automation.
1/6/2023 Mr.R.Immanual AP/MECH/SRIT 3

4.
Classes of Industrial Automation
• Fixed Automation
• Programmable Automation
• Flexible Automation
1/6/2023 Mr.R.Immanual AP/MECH/SRIT 4

5.
Fixed Automation
• Used when the volume of production is very
high.
• Ex: Automobile
• Initial Investment is high
• Equipment is specially designed to produce
one product , after the product lifecycle
finished ,equipment will be obsolete
• Product of short life cycle fixed automation is
gamble
1/6/2023 Mr.R.Immanual AP/MECH/SRIT 5

6.
Programmable Automation
• Used when volume of production is relatively
low and variety of products made
• Adaptability feature accomplished under the
control of a program
• Program is read into the production
equipment, and it performs sequence of
operations to make that product.
• Different and unique products can be made
economically in small batches

7.
• Fixed Automation, Programmable Automation
= f(product variety, product volume)
1/6/2023 Mr.R.Immanual AP/MECH/SRIT 7

8.
Flexible Automation
• Other names
– Flexible Manufacturing systems
– Computer Integrated manufacturing system
• Most suitable for
– Mid volume production range
1/6/2023 Mr.R.Immanual AP/MECH/SRIT 8

9.
Flexible Automation
• Consists of series of workstation are
interconnected by material handling and storage
system
• Controlled the programmed operation at
different workstation
• Feature that distinguishes the programmable
automation and flexible automation is the
different products are made in batches
programmable automation, different products
simultaneously
• Versatility

10.
Robotics
• Robotics coincides with programmable
automation
1/6/2023 Mr.R.Immanual AP/MECH/SRIT 10

11.
• Industrial robots should be classified form of
Programmable Automation

20.
Definition of a Robot
• Origin- 'robota' meaning either a slave or a
mechanical item that would help its master
• During the first quarter of this century, a
gyrocompass used in a ship and a governor used
for controlling the speed of steam locomotives or
automobiles had also been termed as robots
• In the 70's, automatic machines with the
capability of lifting materials, tools, etc. and
performing tasks as instructed by the master had
also been called robots.
1/6/2023 Mr.R.Immanual AP/MECH/SRIT 20

21.
• In (hard) automation, the machine performs a
particular job only in the designed sequence,
while a robot can be made to do different jobs
at different times and in different sequences.
• An automated machine does not have sensory
feedback to reprogram the predetermined
path. An automated machine has neither a
"knowledge base" nor intelligence.
1/6/2023 Mr.R.Immanual AP/MECH/SRIT 21

22.
Definition
• Robotics Industries Association (formerly the
Robotics Institute of America) in November,
1979. (An industrial robot has been defined as
"… a reprogrammable multifunctional
manipulator designed to move material, parts,
tools or specialized devices through various
programmed motions for the performance of
a variety of tasks").
1/6/2023 Mr.R.Immanual AP/MECH/SRIT 22

23.
• A closer examination of this definition
indicates that a robot is a manipulator that is
reprogrammable and multifunctional.
