Abstract


Industries are a major part of life since the industrial revolution, but industries of recent times are finding peculiar ways of being in the hard-fought competition. The new revolution must be the extensive usage of computer numerical control machines for high productivity with same quality, or sometimes, better. But these CNC machines also have few problems which have to be dealt with. One of the major problems is loading and unloading of the work piece to the machine by the operator. Rectifying this problem will reduce the operator fatigue, cycle time reduction, cost reduction and higher productivity. This paper deals and discusses some of the few methods to automate the loading and unloading of the CNC. The paper titled “Productivity improvement of CNC machines using automatic loading and unloading system”, involves with the consequences of automation.
