Realitas Manufaktur Modern

Globalisasi - Setelah negara-negara terbelakang
(misalnya, Cina, India, Mexico) menjadi pemain
utama dibidang manufaktur.
Internasional outsourcing - Bagian dan produk
yang telah dibuat di Amerika Serikat oleh
perusahaan-perusahaan Amerika sekarang dibuat
di luar negeri atau negara tetangga (di Meksiko
dan Amerika Tengah).
Lokal outsourcing - Penggunaan pemasok di AS
untuk menyediakan suku cadang dan servis.

Realitas Manufaktur Modern

Kontrak manufaktur - Perusahaan yang mengkhususkan
diri di bidang manufaktur produk keseluruhan, bukan
hanya komponen, dikontrak oleh perusahaan lain.
Trend - terhadap sektor jasa dalam ekonomi AS.
Kualitas - harapan - Pelanggan, baik konsumen dan
korporasi, menginginkan produk dengan kualitas
terbaik.
Perlu untuk efisiensi operasional - produsen di A.S
harus efisien dalam dalam operasi mereka untuk
mengatasi keunggulan biaya tenaga kerja pesaing
internasional

Pendekatan dan Teknologi Manufaktur Modern

Otomasi - peralatan otomatis bukan tenaga kerja
Teknologi material handling - karena manufaktur biasanya
melibatkan suatu urutan kegiatan
Sistem Manufaktur - integrasi dan koordinasi beberapa
workstation otomatis atau manual
Manufaktur Fleksibel - untuk bersaing dalam kategori produk
volume-rendah/sangat beragam
Program kualitas - untuk mencapai kualitas tinggi yang
diharapkan oleh pelanggan saat ini
CIM - untuk mengintegrasikan desain, produksi, dan logistik
Produksi dengan hemat/ramping - bekerja lebih dengan
sumber daya yang lebih sedikit

Definisi CAD/CAM/CAE
Definisi CAD
Computer Aided Design (CAD) is
the technology concerned with the
use of computer systems to assist
in the creation, modification,
analysis, and optimization of a
design
[Groover & Zimmers 1991]

Definisi CAD/CAM/CAE
Definisi CAM
Computer Aided Manufacturing
(CAM) is the technology concerned
with the use of computer systems to
plan, manage, and control
manufacturing operations throught
either direct or indirect computer
interface with the plants
production resources.
[Groover & Zimmers 1991]

Definisi CAD/CAM/CAE
Definisi CAE;
Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) is
the technology concerned with the
use of computer systems to analyze
CAD geometry, allowing the designer
to simulate and study how the
product will behave so that the
design can be refined and optimized.
[Groover & Zimmers 1991]

CAD
Computer
Assisted
Drawing
Using a computer to make vectorbased drawings.

CAM
Computer
Assisted
Machining

Using a computer controlled machine to

produce actual parts from a CAD
drawing.

4 steps in any CAD/CAM operation:

1.
2.
3.
4.

Geometry Creation
Toolpath Creation
Post Processing
Machining the Final Part

1. Geometry Creation
Producing a vector-based drawing of the part you want to
make.

3 Ways to Create Geometry

Draw it in CAD
Convert a raster-based drawing
to vectors
3D scan of an existing object

1. Geometry Creation
- Using CAD
CAD programs make vector-based (mathematically
calculated) entities.
Some common CAD formats include:

Mastercam - .mc9
AutoCAD - .dwg
Microstation - .dgn
Drawing Exchange
Format - .dxf

1. Geometry Creation
- Raster to Vector conversion
Most graphics programs make raster-based (dots on screen)
images that must be changed to vectors so they can be used
for CAM.
Some common raster formats include:

Raster

Vector

MS Paint - .bmp
Internet images - .jpg
Graphics editors - .gif
Scanned images - .tif

1. Geometry Creation
- 3D Scan
The scanner measures millions of points on an object and
records them as co-ordinates which are then used to create
the vector geometry.

Laser scanner

turns this object

into this geometry.

2. Toolpath Creation
Using the geometry to make a road map that the
cutting tool will follow in order to machine the part.
Several parameters must be set:

Type of tool used

Cutting speeds, depths,
and feed rates
Material to be cut
Rough and finish settings

2. Toolpath Creation
- Verification
Most software will let you see a simulation of your part
being cut so you can verify that the toolpath information
is correct.

3. Post Processing
Translating the toolpath information into a programming
language called G-Code that controls the machine.

From toolpath
to G-Code.

4. Machining the Final Part

The machine reads the G-Code and follows the
toolpath to cut the part.

From CAM definition, the application of

CAM falls into two broad categories:
1. Computer monitoring and control .

Integrasi CAD/CAM/CAE to CIM

CIM

Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) is the use of computer techniques to

integrate manufacturing activities. These activities encompass all functions
necessary to translate customer needs into a final product. CIM starts with the
development of a product concept that may exist in the marketing organization;
includes product design and specification, usually the responsibility of an
engineering organization; and extends through production into delivery and
after-sales activities that reside in a field service or sales organization.
Integration of these activities requires that accurate information be available
when needed and in the format required by the person or group requesting the
data. Data may come directly from the originating source or through an
intermediate database according to Jorgensen and Krause. CIM systems have
emerged as a result of the developments in manufacturing and computer
technology.
Computer-Integrated Manufacturing - organization, system, manager, definition, model, company,
business, system, Cim origin http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/management/Bun-Comp/ComputerIntegrated-Manufacturing.html#ixzz1ZUWiYrD1

areas of a CIM system

Part and product design. There are four phases that are crucial in part and product design. They include
preliminary design, refinement, analysis, and implementation.
Tool and fixture design. Tooling engineers using computer-aided design (CAD) tools to develop the
systems or fixtures that produce the parts.
Process planning. The process planner designs a plan that outlines the routes, operations, machines, and
tools required. He or she also attempts to minimize cost, manufacturing time, and machine idle time while
maximizing productivity and quality.
Programming of numerically controlled machines and material handling systems.
Production planning. There are two concepts used here including materials requirement planning (MRP)
and machine loading and scheduling.
Machining. This is part of the actual manufacturing process, including turning, drilling, and face milling for
metal removal operations.
Assembly. After they are manufactured, parts and subassemblies are put together with other parts to
create a finished product or subassembly.
Maintenance. Computers can monitor, intervene, and even correct machine malfunctions as well as quality
issues within manufacturing.
Quality control. This involves three steps including system design, parameter design, and tolerance design.
Inspection. This stage determines if there have been errors and quality issues during the manufacturing of
the product.
Storage and retrieval. These tasks involve raw materials, work-in-process inventory, finished goods, and
equipment.
