Course content
The course is intended for students who wish to focus on manufacturing machines and their accessories in their master theses. It focuses on the following areas: general machine structure; principles of manufacturing machine design; fundamental technical data; stiffness, dynamic stability, accuracy; fundamental technological specifications; configurations of machines, drives, frames, guides - fundamental design, computational analysis; samples of successful design; latest trends in manufacturing machine design. 1. New definitions and trends in OS building, main drive 2. Sliding systems 3. Movement axes 4. Storing of spindles 5. Clamping 6. Frames and auxiliary functions 7. Frames of forming machines (FM) - design and calculation of closed and open frame 8. Screw presses - design and calculation of press' components 9. Principles of FM construction, basic requirements, operational accuracy, overload protection, guide 10. Drive mechanisms of crank presses, division, design approaches, basic calculations 11. Overload of crank presses, multi-purpose crank presses - structural design, basic calculations 12. Drive mechanisms of hydraulic presses - division, structural solution, basic calculations
