FANUC Field Service Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Inductive sensors detect metallic objects while capacitive sensors detect any object with a dielectric constant

• Inductive sensors generate a magnetic field that induces eddy currents in metallic objects, causing a change in the sensor's output

• Capacitive sensors use changes in capacitance to detect the presence or absence of an object

• Capacitive sensors can detect non-metallic objects such as liquids, plastics, and paper

• I...read more

The diesel engine combustion process involves the ignition of fuel injected into the combustion chamber by compressed air.

• Diesel fuel is injected into the combustion chamber at high pressure

• The air in the combustion chamber is compressed by the piston, leading to high temperatures

• The high temperature air ignites the fuel, leading to combustion and the generation of power

• The combustion process in diesel engines is more

A two-stroke engine completes a power cycle in two strokes of the piston, while a four-stroke engine completes it in four strokes.

• Two-stroke engines have a simpler design with fewer moving parts compared to four-stroke engines.

• Two-stroke engines typically produce more power for their size but are less fuel-efficient and emit more pollution.

• Four-stroke engines are more common in cars, motorcycles, and larger machinery d...read more

A hydraulic component is a device that utilizes fluid power to perform mechanical tasks.

• Hydraulic components use liquid to transmit power.

• Common examples include hydraulic cylinders, pumps, motors, valves, and hoses.

• They are often used in heavy machinery, construction equipment, and industrial applications.

Realy is a type of relay used in electrical systems to control high power devices with low power signals.

• Relays are switches that open and close circuits electromechanically

• Realy is a type of relay specifically designed for high power applications

• Working principle involves an electromagnet that moves an armature to open or close the circuit

• Commonly used in industrial automation, automotive, and HVAC systems

Least count is the smallest change in the measured quantity that can be detected by the measuring instrument.

• Least count is determined by the smallest division on the scale of the measuring instrument.

• It is important for accurate measurements and precision in engineering.

• For example, a ruler with millimeter divisions has a least count of 1 mm.

• A vernier caliper with 0.1 mm divisions has a least count of 0.1 mm.

Pumps, fans, gearboxes, compressors, motors, and generators are essential components in various mechanical systems.

• Pumps are used to move fluids, such as water or oil, through a system.

• Fans are used to create airflow for cooling or ventilation purposes.

• Gearboxes are used to transmit power from one component to another at different speeds or torques.

• Compressors are used to increase the pressure of a gas, such as in air ...read more

Data collection process involves gathering, recording, and storing information for analysis and decision-making.

• Identify the data needed for analysis

• Determine the method of data collection (surveys, interviews, observations, etc.)

• Collect data using appropriate tools and techniques

• Ensure data accuracy and reliability

• Store data securely for future reference

• Analyze collected data to draw conclusions and make decisions

Condition monitoring of tools involves regularly checking and analyzing the performance and health of tools to prevent breakdowns.

• Regularly inspect tools for signs of wear and tear

• Use sensors to monitor tool performance in real-time

• Analyze data collected to predict potential failures

• Implement preventive maintenance based on monitoring results
