Course detail

Special Technology of Machining

FSI-HO1Acad. year: 2025/2026

The content of the course is mainly focused on automation and optimization of technological processes and applies knowledge from the scientific disciplines of physics and mathematics in the implementation, improvement and use of production processes. Introduces students to the theory of production processes, the theory of dimensional circuits with a focus on assembly of machinery, the application of linear algebra to optimize production processes, the analysis of statistical phenomena and probabilities in cutting theory, basic knowledge in creating programs for CNC machines and applications CAD/CAM in TPV, with environmental aspects of engineering production, cutting materials, HSC machining and the theory of energy cutting problems. Furthermore, the content of the course is focused on the methods of industrial engineering in the field of theory and analysis of operations as a necessary prerequisite for mastering technical and economic problems of all types of production.

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Guarantor

doc. Ing. Josef Sedlák, Ph.D.

Department

Institute of Manufacturing Technology (ÚST)

Entry knowledge

The fundamentals of the metal cutting theory, probability theory, differential and integral calculus, determinants, dynamic of the mass point, mechanical work and energy, molecular physics and thermodynamics

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Credit requirements include an active participation in all exercises, completing all tasks in the laboratory exercises, and delivery of all required written work. In well-founded cases the teacher can set further conditions as a compensation. The examination tests the knowledge and, in particular, the ability to apply the knowledge independently in solving assigned tasks. The examination consists of a written (test or written exam) and oral part. If the student fails to apply the knowledge in practice, the examination will be graded as unsatisfactory.

 

Students work is systematically controlled in a form of short written tests, individual compensatory assignments and result check.

Aims

The aim of the course is to familiarise students with automation of a short-run and single-part production focusing on an application of numeric cntrol machine tools including technical production planning.

 

The students will obtain theoretical fundamentals of a machining technology with the use of numeric control machine tools, they will learn basic methods of programming of these tools, and will be acquainted with economic aspects of technological disciplines.

Study aids

Theses from the lectures. Script Special machining technology.
