Assignment:
A component insertion machine takes 2.0 sec to put a component into a printed circuit (PC) board, once the board has been positioned under the insertion head. The x-y table that positions the PC board uses a stepper motor directly linked to a leadscrew for each axis. The leadscrew has a pitch = 5.0 mm. The motor step angle = 7.2 degrees and the pulse train frequency = 400 Hz No components are placed on the PC board, one each at positions (25, 25) and (50, 150), where coordinates are in millimeters. The sequence of positions is (0, 0), (25,25), (50.150), (0,0).Time required to unload the completed board and load the next blank onto the machine table = 5.0 sec. Assume that 0.25 sec. is lost due to acceleration and deceleration on each move. What is the hourly production rate for this PC hoard?
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
