Course detail
Automatic Control of Machines
FSI-GASAcad. year: 2024/2025
The course familiarises students with automation and control devices for production machines. This information is useful for the design and programming of automatic production machines and manufacturing systems. The course deals with theoretical principles of automatic control, mechanical control, electrical control, numerical control, sensors and effectors.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Course-unit credit is conditional on the following: Participation in practicals and working out of semester work.
Examination:
The exam is combined. In the written part verifies the ability of the student to apply the acquired knowledge and methods and in the oral part if necessary verifies the knowledge of theoretical foundations.The evaluation of the exam may take into consideration the evaluation of exercises.
Attendance at practise lessons is obligatory and it is checked. Only substantial reasons of absence are accepted. Missed lessons can be substituted for via solution of extra exercises.
Aims
Students will be made familiar with elements for automation of production machines and other manufacturing equipment, with methods necessary for control of production machines and manufacturing systems. They will be able to apply this knowledge to the design and development of manufacturing systems and their parts. They will gain practical experience with computer aided technologies used for the design, programming and for simulation of production machine control.
