Problem 17.2: Solve problem 17.1, but use a feed rate of 45 parts/min. How does the reduced feed rate of the feeder-selector affect the operation of the assembly machine? problem 17.1 listed below (a) The feeder-selector device at one of the workstations of an assembly machine has a feed rate of 56 components/min and provides a throughput of one part in five. The ideal cycle time of the assembly machine is 6 sec. The low-level sensor on the feed track is set at 10 components, and the high-level sensor is set at 25 components. (a) How long will it take for the supply of components to be depleted from the high-level sensor to the low-level sensor once the feeder-selector device is turned off? (b) How long will it take for the components to be resupplied from the low-level sensor to the high-level sensor, on average, after the feeder-selector device is turned on? (c) What are the time proportions that the feeder-selector device is turned on and turned off?
