Transcribed Image Text:

In a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS), one of the Fanuc LR Mate 100i articulated robot is fed with fasteners by a hopper-feeder system. The cycle time for the assembly screwing is 0.2 minutes. The parts feeder has a rate of 20 screws/min. The probability that a gliven screw fed by the feeder will go through the selector is 0.6. The number of parts in the feed track corresponding to the low-level sensor is, nn=4. The capacity of the feed track is 10 parts. Determine the depleting time of the parts. (3 marks) ii. Determine the top-up time taken on average for the supply. (2 marks) Based on the above calculations, identify the maximum limit in the hopper- feeder system if the part feed rate or the cycle time is increased. (5 marks) II.
