Aims
·The objective of the subject is to expand the knowledge of the students by additional machine complexes and components so that they get the knowledge of entire, even special equipment of the production of building materials /BM/.The students are acquainted with information systems in BM production management. Laser and ultrasonic navigation and control systems. Robotics and automation technology. Robotics application in the preparation and forming of the components reinforcement. State-of the art technology at recycling of building materials. Diamond technology. Technology for forming of surfaces. Atmospheric protection, anti-corrosion protection
The students will master the objective of the course – will get an overview of all machines and equipment applied at the production of concrete and structural elements in prefabrication. They will be become familiar with transport machines and equipment, crushing machines, mills and screeners, further on with machines and equipment for production of concrete mixture, for preparation of reinforcement and welding, as well as pre-stressing machines and equipment. Attention is given to vibrating machinery, machinery maintenance, production lines and machines for production of concrete products.
