Course detail

Tool Jigs and Fixtures for Machining

FSI-HUPAcad. year: 2024/2025

The course is focused on the fundamentals of designing of cutting tools, jigs and fixtures for machining. It describes individual projection systems for tool design, as well as procedures applied for designing of operational fixtures in compliance with the proposed technology. The students will acquaint with individual types of cutting materials and their use for designing of tools.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Course-unit credit requirements:
Participation in the exercises.
Include delivery of two programmes: designing a dimensional tool and fixture for the given component with the use of CAD application.
The examination:
Consists of a written (test or written exam) and oral part.
The teacher may in justified cases set a special condition.


Participation in the exercises 100%, excused absence max. 10%. If the student exceeds the limit of absences, the director of the institute may permit individual compensatory assignments. Missed lessons may be in well-founded cases compensated in the given week with other groups.

Aims

The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the fundamentals of designing the basic cutting tools and fixtures for machining. They will learn and manage designing tools in basic projection systems with the use of computer technology. Designing of operational fixtures in compliance with the proposed technology. They will get acquainted with individual types of cutting materials and their use for designing of tools in the given machining technology.

 

The use of 2D/3D CAD programmes for designing of tools and fixtures for machining.

Study aids

Theses from the lectures. Script Tools and fixtures for machining. Commercial catalogs of tools and parts of fixtures.
