“…Hence, the SOD needs to be monitored throughout the process to enhance the performance measures. A servo mechanism was designed to obtain a constant SOD with the potential difference and current flow as controlling parameters [10,11]. Since the electrical conductive electrode and specimen were separated by a dielectric medium, electrical discharge happened across the machining zone [12].…”

Titanium alloy is widely used for orthodontic technology and easily machined using the EDM process. In the EDM process, the workpiece and tool electrode must be separated by a continuous air gap during the machining operation to generate discharge energy in this method. In the present study, an endeavor was made to analyze the effects of a servo feed air gap control and tool electrode in the EDM process. The developed mechanical setup consists of a linear action movement with zero backlash along the X-axis, which can be controlled up to 0.03 mm. It was observed that the suggested air gap control scheme can enhance the servo feed mechanism on a machining titanium alloy. A tungsten carbide electrode can enhance the surface measures owing to its ability to produce tiny craters with uniform distribution. Since it produces a little crater and has a higher melting point, a tungsten carbide electrode can create lesser surface roughness than a copper tool and brass tool electrode.

The automated installation of hi-lok nuts by the robot is an effective way to replace tedious manual labor. For this purpose, an appropriate end-effector needs to be designed to carry out the feeding, alignment and fastening tasks. According to the installation process of hi-lok nuts, a motor driven fastening tool is designed with two parts: the front nut runner and rear driving shaft. The fastening task is modeled based on the force balances in the nut screwing action, which present the nut runner can rotate the nut as well as feed it axially. Then, a feeding-alignment (FA) device is designed to engage the nut feeding for fastening tool. The alignment action is modeled through the force balance about hi-lok nut involved with the nut gripper and nut runner. Finally, a tool end-effector has been built and integrated with an industrial robot. The successful implementation of automated installation of hi-lok nut demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed installation method and the validation of the designed robotic end-effector.

“…Integration of automotive electronics into a vehicle plays a critical role in the advancement of vehicle performance, safety, and ergonomics in order to meet and exceed the expectations of the customer [ 1 ]. The replacement of traditional mechanical buttons and knops with flexible touch panels should receive significant attention in cockpit electronics in order to attain a futuristic look and feel while also improving passenger convenience [ 2 ]. When used in conjunction with a lightweight flexible electronics system, the human machine interface (HMI) can be reduced in weight, which is beneficial in automobile vehicles.…”

In the present scenario, a considerable assiduity is provided to develop novel human-machine interface technologies that rapidly outpace the capabilities of display technology in automotive industries. It is necessary to use a new cockpit design in conjunction with a fully automated driving environment in order to enhance the driving experience. It can create a seamless and futuristic dashboard for automotive infotainment application. In the present study, an endeavor was made to equip the In-vehicle bezels with printed capacitive sensors for providing superior sensing capabilities. Silver Nanoparticles based interdigitated pattern electrodes were formed over polycarbonate substrates to make printed capacitive sensors using screen printing process. The developed sensor was investigated to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative measures using direct and in-direct contact of touch. The proposed approach for sensors pattern and fabrication can highly impact on sensor performance in automotive infotainment application due to the excellent spatial interpolation with lower cost, light weight, and mechanical flexibility.
