Machine automation can be considered as an art to create self-moving or self-acting machines or processes. It also signifies the technique of creating a machine, device or process completely automatic, it can be a simple sensing device or an autonomous robot as well as other equipment. You can thus explore the modern form of technology and it makes you feel confident.
Advantages of automation
Automation is important due to various reasons, but for many companies it is the increased productivity that influences the use of automated machines. Low operational variability is another significant advantage of automation; variability is connected straight away to the productivity as well as quality.
Some other causes to automate
- Dangerous working environment
- Expensive human labor
- Reducing production time
- Increasing the flexibility of manufacturing
Automation also helps to reduce prices, eliminating human errors and making up for the shortage of labor.
Some common types of Automation
Automation plays an important role in reducing prices and enhancing productivity in various industries. To give an example, a retail store uses bar code scanners, installing it in the checkout lanes and though in manufacturing industries automation is prevalent.
- IT (Information Technology)
- Robots
- FMS (Flexible manufacturing systems)
- CAM (Computer aided manufacturing)
Understanding hydraulic system
The basic of a Hydraulic system is quite simple; force is applied to a certain point that will transmit to another point through an incompressible fluid which is quite similar to oil and the force multiplies during the process. In a simple hydraulic system, you will get to see two pistons, connected through a pipe filled with oil.
Using these systems are quite simple, you can easily start a hydraulic system using the push buttons it has, controlling (accelerate and decelerate) it through the levers. Hydraulic systems can move heavier loads and provide additional force compared to electrical, pneumatic and mechanical systems.
