Course detail

Construction of Production Machines and Robots

FSI-6SR-KAcad. year: 2023/2024

Student is introduced to classification of production machines, construction of basic types of machine tools and forming machines and their typical designs. Furthermore, student learns about the main types of industrial robots and manipulators (stationary, mobile and service) and their incorporation into robotized systems (cells, lines).

Institute of Production Machines, Systems and Robotics (ÚVSSR)

Entry knowledge

Basic knowledge of machine construction.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Graded credit is awarded on the basis of test (the subject matter of the lectures) and meet the requirements relating to the exercise.


Attendance at lectures is not obligatory, yet recommended. Seminars are obligatory. Graded course-unit credit is awarded on the basis of test. Absence on seminars must be excused and can be substituted for by presentation of a report.

Aims

The aim of the course is to provide the students with information on basic types of production (machining and forming) machines and industrial robots, their construction, functions and key features. Students get familiar with present production of industrial robots, machine tools and forming machines in Czech Republic, Europe and abroad.
This subject is included into study plan of 3rd year of general bachelor's study as a compulsory-optional one. It is recommended as a prerequisite of branch M-VSR, M-VSY or M-KSB.


The course allows the students to acquire basic knowledge on construction of common types of production machines and industrial robots.
