| TMPS03 | Automated Manufacturing Machinetools, 7,5 ECTS-points /Automatiska produktionsmaskiner/ Advancement level: D | |
| Aim: New products often have to be produced by means of new methods. As a consequence, new machines must often be developed for various tasks including machining, material handling, assembly and inspection. The application of peak technologies is often included in such developments. As a rule there is need to combine advanced mechanics with electronics and computer control. It is also necessary to reach a very high level of automation. The aim of the course is to inform the students about the technologies that are used in advanced automatic production machines and to introduce the students to the cross technological work which is implied in the development of automatic production machines. Emphasis is put on the use of computer aids in the optimisation of mechanics and in the use of computers in machine control.Prerequisites: TMPT32 Production Technology M, TMPT63 Computerised Manufacturing EquipmentCourse organization: The course is given during one study period. Theory is addressed during lectures. Experimental work is performed in the laboratory under supervision. The following three projects are planned: - Design of a numerical control system - Dimensioning of a machine contruction by means of FEM-technology - Design of a man-machine interfacesCourse content: - 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: Compendium: Tekniken i verktygsmaskiner, IKP, LiTH - Individually chosen literatureAssessment: | ||
