Course detail

Application of CAM in Machining Technology

FSI-HC2Acad. year: 2023/2024

The course deals with technological problems of production preparation, entry prerequisites and with the rules of algorithmization of work in technology. It focuses on the application of computer technology to individual activities of a technologist: selection of a semiproduct, setting working conditions, dimensions in process operation, automatic programming of NC machine tools. Also discussed are the problems of the equipment of CAD computer systems for the area of technology.

Guarantor

doc. Ing. Jan Zouhar, Ph.D.

Department

Institute of Manufacturing Technology (ÚST)

Entry knowledge

CAD systems, basics of technological processes - machining.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Attendance in the exercises is compulsory and checked. It is allowed a maximum of two absences per semester. The course-unit credit is awarded according to attendance and submission of individual assignments in the exercises. Attendance in lectures is recommended.
The exam tests student's knowledge of computer technology and its application to the construction modelling used in machining technology. The practical part of the exam reflects student's ability to create a model in CAM systems.
Individual assignments and result checking.

Aims

The objective of the course is to familiarise students with CAM system and its use in technology processing for a workpiece created in CAD system for NC machine tools.
Students will learn how to use CAM system to create cutting tools of technological paths of NC machine tools using data files of objects created in CAD system.
