ME 714 Computer-integrated Manufacturing (1)

Assignment 3
Due: February 7, 2019

Note: Please show all the important steps while answering the questions.

1. Use a uniform quadratic B-spline with four control points to find a (approximate) representation [8]
(E 0 ) of the ellipse (E) shown in Fig. 1. What is the % error in the area?

(AreaE 0 − AreaE )
%Errorarea = × 100
AreaE
[Hint: Use numerical integration to calculate area under the curve]

Figure 1: Ellipse E

2. Find a parametric representation of the torus constructed by rotating the ellipse in Fig. 1 about the [4]
Y-axis.

3. Verify Euler-Poincare law for the following part. [5]

4. For assembly of electronic components on a printed circuit board (’PCB’ shown in Fig. 3A), an [8]
automated machine (a ’Robot’) is used. The robot has an arm to pick and insert the electronic com-
ponents (such as chips, transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc.) on the PCB. The PCB is mounted
on a positioning table which moves it in X and Y direction such that the component is inserted at
the desired location on the board. Design a stepper motor-driven leadscrew actuator for each axis
(X and Y) of the positioning table. The design parameters include the range of travel in mm, the
minimum number of step angles for the motor, and the minimum number of bits for the control
memory for each axis. Assume pitch of the leadscrew to be 2 mm. Inherent mechanical errors in
the table positioning can be characterized by a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 5
microns. Dimensions of the PCB are shown in Fig. 3A. Example component is shown in Fig. 3B.
All the components have identical lead diameters of 0.5 mm.
Note: Clearly state all your assumptions in your answer.
