What they are talking about.



 

A. Alice: What did you do at your laboratory classes yesterday?

Dima: I observed a very interesting experiment with superconductors. And what about you?

Alice: As for me, I made a new programme for the microcomputer.

Dima: Well, two years ago computer systems interested me, too. Yesterday I read a very interesting book on the history of computers by Norma D. Miller. Did you read it?

Alice: I don't think I did. What does it deal with?

Dima: It deals with many remarkable powers of computers and their basic capabilities.

B. Alice: What will you do at your laboratory classes tomorrow?

Dima: I expect I'll study changes in the properties of substances

under different conditions.

Alice: You will use superconductors, won't you?

Dima: Yes, I will. And what are you going to do?

Alice: I think I'll study commercial applications of minicomputers.

Dima: You are interested in computer systems, aren't you?

Alice: Yes, I am.

Dima: Will you explain some computer concepts to me then?

Alice: Certainly.

LESSON 14

Automated Product Lines.

1. Read the text translate it in writing:

Automated production lines

An automated production line consists of a series of workstations connected by a transfer system to move parts between the stations. This is an example of fixed automation, since these lines are set up for long production runs, making large number of product units and running for several years between changeovers. Each station is designed to perform a specific processing operation, so that the part or product is constructed stepwise as it progresses along the line. A raw work part enters at one end of the line, proceeds through each workstation and appears at the other end as a completed product. In the normal operation of the line, there is a work part being processed at each station, so that many parts are being processed simultaneously and a finished part is produced with each cycle of the line. The various operations, part transfers, and other activities taking place on an automated transfer line must all be sequenced and coordinated properly for the line to operate efficiently.

Modern automated lines are controlled by programmable logic controllers, which are special computers that can perform timing and sequencing functions required to operate such equipment. Automated production lines are utilized in many industries, mostly automobile, where they are used for processes such as machining and pressworking.

Machining is a manufacturing process in which metal is removed by a cutting or shaping tool, so that the remaining work part is the desired shape. Machinery and motor components are usually made by this process. In many cases, multiple operations are required to completely shape the part. If the part is mass-produced, an automated transfer line is often the most economical method of production. Many separate operations are divided among the workstations.

Pressworking operations involve the cutting and forming of parts from sheet metal. Examples of such parts include automobile body panels, outer shells of laundry machines and metal furniture More than one processing step is often required to complete a complicated part. Several presses are connected together in sequence by handling mechanisms that transfer the partially completed parts from one press to the next, thus creating an automated pressworking line.

Discuss these questions.

a) Can you imagine the present life without robots?

b) What is a robot? Do we depend on robots a lot today? Give your reasons.
