equipment, including blast cleaners, drills, forging pressures, and paint sprayers. -
Answer-Noise
2.The coil can produce a uniform magnetic field in a volume of space when an
electric current is passed through it. - Answer-Solenoid
3.A CAN based device that provides complete control over the compressor and up to
8 solenoids per module. - Answer-Pneumatic Control Module
4.Is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position.
Can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (stored energy of
position) - Answer-Mechanical Energy
5.A machine component responsible for moving and controlling a mechanism or
system, for example, by opening a valve. In simple terms, it is a "mover". - Answer-
Actuator
6.Is an integration of sensors, controls, and actuators designed to perform a function
with minimal or no human intervention. - Answer-Automation System
7.Is a form of automation for producing products in batches. - Answer-Programmable
Automation System
8.Is a system in which the automated production processes and assembly are preset
to produce a single product. - Answer-Fixed Automation System
9.Is a manufacturing process in which pre programmed computer software dictates
the movement of factory tools and machinery. - Answer-CNC Machines
10.The use of software and computer controlled machinery to automate a
manufacturing process. - Answer-Computer Aided Manufacturing
11.Robotic systems with purposefully designed compliant elements embedded into
their mechanical structure. - Answer-Soft Robot
12.Governing quality management systems. It applies to all types of private and
public organizations that want to demonstrate high standards and be recognized
internationally. - Answer-International Standard Organization
13.The compressed air causes the rod to move in two directions by extending and
retracting without the assistance of a spring. - Answer-Double Acting Cylinder Valve
14.Are mechanical devices that produce force by using energy from pressurized air.
These devices consist of a piston, piston rod, and cylinder. The pressure inside the
cylinder rises as air enters on one side of the cylinder. - Answer-Pneumatic Cylinders
, 15.A type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. -
Answer-Electromagnet
16.One of the most important pieces of equipment in a solar energy system. It's a
device that converts direct current (DC) electricity, which is what a solar panel
generates, to alternating current (AC) electricity, which the electrical grid uses. -
Answer-Inverter
17.An electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which
draws the plunger in. - Answer-Solenoid
18.A multidisciplinary field that refers to the skill sets needed in the contemporary,
advanced automated manufacturing industry. - Answer-Mechatronics
19.These counters operate like relay counters but you cannot hold a PLC counter in
your hand and they do not need to be connected to wires to operate. - Answer-
Counters
20.Is an industrial computer control system that continuously monitors the state of
input devices and makes decisions based upon a custom program to control the
state of output devices? - Answer-Programmable Logic Controller
21.. Is the counter in which the clock input with all the flip flops uses the same source
and produces the output at the same time. - Answer-Synchronous Counter
22.Only the first flip - Answer-flop is externally clocked using clock pulse while the
clock input for the successive flip flops will be the output from a previous flip flop. -
Asynchronous Counter
23.Accuracy is a robot's ability to move to the designated spot without making a
mistake. A machine cannot be precisely positioned. - Answer-B. True/True
24.The capacity of a robot to position itself regularly when requested to complete a
job several times is known as repeatability. Accuracy is an absolute term, whereas
repeatability is relative. - Answer-B. True/True
25.The most sophisticated types of robots seen today can conduct operations
adaptively, adjusting the size and other parameters based on the needs. - Answer-B.
True/True
26.Robots are improved versions of machinery that are utilized to do complex jobs
and are designed to make choices on their own. - Answer-B. True/True
27.Robotics is a discipline of engineering and science that covers, among other
things, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science. This
field is concerned with the design, building, and usage of robots for control, sensory
feedback, and information processing. - Answer-B. True/True
