Basic Questions

• What is Automation?

• What are the advantages of Automation?


Introduction to Industrial Mechatronics

• Automation:
• Use of Control Systems to
reduce Human Intervention
• A Step beyond Mechanization
(Pure Mechanical Systems)

• Key Ingredients:
– Sensors
– Controller
– Actuator

• Applications:
– Production Plants, Manipulation, Manufacturing parts
(Textile, Petroleum, Paper & Automotive
Industries )
Introduction to Industrial Automation

• Advantages of Industrial Automation:


– Improving Efficiency & Quality
– Improving Safety
– Reducing Operation time & Errors
– Performing Operations in Dangerous
Environments (High Temperatures, Nuclear
Installations, Space etc)
Introduction to Industrial Automation
• Manufacturing Process Automation:
– Automation of Industrial Processes
– Controllers: Mainly PLC’s
– Actuators: Variable Speed Drives, Valves etc
– Sensors: Flow, Pressure Temperature etc
– Additionally SCADA
Automation Using PLC’s
Introduction to Industrial Automation

• Applications of Manipulators:
– Mainly used for Pick & Drop Applications in Production lines
– Painting, Welding in Automotive Industry
Types of Automation
• Fixed Automation:
• Production facility where the sequence of operations is fixed by
process configuration
– Examples:
• Production Plants (Paper etc), Automotive Industry with fixed
equipment
– Features:
• High Initial Investment
• High Production Rates
• Relative Inflexibility

• Programmable Automation:
• The production equipment is made to change the sequence of
operations
• The sequence of operation is generally modified by a program
Types of Automation
– Examples:
• Automation using Numerically Controlled Machine Tools, Industrial
Robots & PLC’s
– Features:
• High Initial Investment
• Flexibility to deal with Variation & Changes in Production
• Low Production rate then Fixed Automation
• Loss of time during change over
• Flexible Automation:
• An Extension of Programmable Automation
• Virtually no loss in time during change over (Tools, Machine
settings)
• Difference betweens parts is not significant
– Examples:
• Automotive production using Flexible Manufacturing systems
