TMPS03 Automated Manufacturing Machinetools, 7,5 ECTS credits.
/Automatiska produktionsmaskiner/

For:   I   Ii   M  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 68
Rec. self-study hours: 132

  Area of Education: Technlogy

Subject area: Mechanical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The aim of the course is to teach how automated machine tools, especially numerically controlled machine tools and measuring machines can be designed to comply with varied manufacturing tasks and how their use can be optimized. Specifically important is the application of high performance machining, to reach hig demands on the combination of accuracy and productivity. This is about how to train a multi functional way of thinking and a methodology for the use of modern development tools such as 3D-simultion and FEM technology. A related aim for the cource is to teach the state of the art in the existing types of automated manufacturing machine tools and systems. The application of peak technologies is often included in such machines and systems such as advanced mechanics and electronics as well as computer control. This is to reach a high degree of automation

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
TMPT32 Production Technology M, TMPT63 Computerised Manufacturing Equipment

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course is given by means of lectures, project work and experimental laborations. In a main project work an automatic production machine is designed according to industrial specifications. Design tools such as FEM technology and sD-CAD are used. Theory is addressed during lectures. Experimental work is performed in the laboratory under supervision.

Course contents:
- New machine concepts - Principles of numerical control - System programming, desgn and alternatives - Automation components, specifically sensors, servo motors and valves - The choice and dimensioning of mechanical part such as spindles, bearings, screws, gears and guides - New mechanisms such as Stewart platforms - The design and dimensioning of fundaments - The design of man-machine interfaces

Course literature:
The book "High Performance Machining" by Miles Arnone - Individually chosen literature
