Speed and accuracy in automated manufacture
Abstract
It is illustrated, with several real manufacturing examples, that speed and accuracy are not necessarily adversary concepts. Rather, in many cases, increased speed results from an improvement in the accuracy of components produced. Thus, the effort to improve accuracy is frequently cost effective and results in an increase in productivity. However, in those cases in which speed and accuracy both improve, new methodology or an over-all view is needed before the improvement is apparent. Some areas used as examples are: accuracy in rolls used in crush dressed form grinding, inspection and assembly time savings, and deep hole drilling.
