Fabrication machining

In the washing of fabrics, machine and timing must be carefully adjusted. Too large an energy input for too long a time can injure fabric severely, and eventually tear it to shreds. The same effect is quite possible with purely mechanical agitation.

Processing line, upstream Refers to material movement and auxiliary equipment (dryer, mixer/blender, storage bins, etc.) that exist prior to plastic entering the main fabricating machine such as the extruder. 

Fabricated parts can be machined with standard wood or metal fabricating machines (13). 

This group of steels are used in industry extensively. The versatility and low cost are attractive features. As opposed to pure iron, alloying iron with small amounts of carbon results in improved strength and hardness without loss of ductility. These alloys are attractive from the points of view such as ease of fabrication, machinability and welding as well as good corrosion resistance. 

Even though modern fabricating machines with all its ingenious microprocessor control technology is in principle suited to perform flexible tasks, it nevertheless takes a whole series of peripheral auxiliary equipment to guarantee the necessary degree of flexibility (Chapter 18). Examples of this action includes ... 

A marine lumious bacterium. Photobacterium phosphoreum IFO 13896 was grown with the ATCC culture medium no. 1163 at 15 °C for 15 h corresponding to the optimum conditions in order to obtain the maximum bioluminescence. After centrifugation (15000 rpm) of the culture and after twice rinse of harvested cells with the growth medium without the carbon source, cells were immobilised in the holes (diameter KXK) pm, depth 100 pm) on an acrylic chip (3cm X 3cm), that were fabricated with a NC micro-fabrication machine. For immobilisation of the cells 3% sodium alginate was used in this procedure. Detection of bioliuninescence... 

The process of IM is used for reinforced TPs (RTPs) however, it is principally used for (URTPs) and some TSs. IM machines (IMMs) represent over half of all the primary plastic fabricating machines in the world processing all types of plastics and plastic compounds representing just a USA multibillion-dollar business. Figure 5.29 is a simplified version of IM machine (IMM) where plastic flows from hopper, through plasticator (screw-barrel), to mold cavity. 

Here we will mention leftovers-lubricants that diminish the friction between polymer particles (internal) or with the walls of the fabricating machines (external). An internal lubricant affects mainly a reduction of viscosity while an external one affects the surface layer and augments the output (provided no slip occurs). Many lubricants serve simultaneously as internal and external agents, as a borderline is not that sharp. The polymer most demanding of lubrication is PVC for improving workability and elimination of degradation. However, other polymers are lubricated as well, like polystyrene, polyester and polyolefins. Among the common lubricants are fatty acids and their salts, paraffins, and low MW fractions of polyethylene. Only a small concentration should be used in order not to affect the ultimate properties. In the case of broadly distributed PE, self lubrication occurs. 

It has already been mentioned in previous paragraphs that currently most fabrication machines designed for thermoplastics may also be modified for thermosets. However, a crucial problem is to avoid premature solidification... 

The extrusion process is basically designed to continuously convert a soft material into a particular form. The heart of this processing/fabrication machine is a screw conveyer. It carries the cold plastic material (in granular or powdered form) forward by the action of the screw and squeezes it, and, with heat from... 

The software written for various SSR functions must carefully and accurately coordinate and synchronize the activities of multiple SSR machines (e.g., fabrication machines, material process machines, manipulation and transport robots/arms, assemblage and construction machines) by providing a continuous monitoring of the 3D spaces occupied by each machine and its mobile parts to avoid collisions and to ensure cooperative progress with both lower level and higher level tasks of the growing SSR. 

Select fabrication, machining, and assembly operations imparting minimum residual stresses, fillets should be streamlined if possible.
