Mode of study

Not applicable.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will gain practical experience with problems solution in the area of manufacturing and its control. They will have a possibility to work with CAD/CAM system, with laboratory manufacturing system, i.e. with machine tools, robots, storage system, conveyer transport system etc. The knowledge of laboratory manufacturing system acquired in this course can serve as a basis for working out of diploma projects.

Prerequisites

Students are expected to have knowledge of software SurfCam, basic knowledge of NC programming, basic robot programming

Co-requisites

Aims

The objective of the course is to provide students with knowledge of and practical experience in the analysis of basic components of manufacturing system and their relations as one complex process. Students will work in laboratory manufacturing system and will go through all needed stages of manufacture of a simple component part – they will prepare NC program inside a CAD/CAM system, prepare manipulation programs for a robot, prepare process plan, prepare plans transfer in the control system and manufacture of the component part.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
