Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) have got paramount importance in aerospace, and other industries due to their attractive properties of high specific strength, high specific stiffness, high corrosion resistance, and low thermal expansion. However, due to their properties like heterogeneity, anisotropy, and low heat dissipation, the issues in...

Collaborative assembly is envisaged as a future prospect of industry 4.0 which involves co-working between robot and human. This methodology combines strength and dexterity of a robot with sensory skills of human to achieve quality and precision in assembly process. Collaborative assembly has been in focus in recent times however less attention has...

Application of genetic algorithms in job scheduling problem solving

Avix industrial office is a versatile software for assembly line balancing and optimization. It uses video inputs of workstations and perfectly balances the work. Basically, its an MTM based interactive methodology which is quite useful to balance manual or automated assembly lines.

Product developers are always eager to pursue strategies to develop the best product right for the first time with minimal variation. In this regard, one of the most effective tool, being used for variation prediction and evaluation, is tolerance analysis. Tolerance analysis has been at the heart of precision assembly design during recent times in...

Precision geometry alignment with rigorous deviation is one of the key assembly issues to be designed in product development. Propagation of tolerances causes large misalignment in assemblies leading to a cast-off and undesirable product functionality. There is always an imperativeness to calculate the assembly characteristic with tighter tolerance...

Radiating and feeding slots of high frequency slotted waveguide antennas are critical important for antenna's performance. A precisely wirecut slot with less dimensional variation from design size would contribute to high antenna gain. This approach has yielded high gain antennas in comparison with connventional CNC end milling.

The radar performance is primarily judged by its ability to detect targets at specified ranges in all environmental conditions. The antenna performs a key role in this regard. Volumes of literature is available that focuses on the design of electrical parameters of radar antennas but the relationship between the fabrication process and achieving de...
