Course content
The course deals with the area of basic metrology and measurement relevant to the field of engineering. The following chapters are dealt with theoretically and practically in individual lectures and practicals. 1) Metrology, structure metrology, legal metrology, Act No. 505/90 Coll. Metrology, amendment 119/2000 Coll. metrology related to quality management 2) Basic concepts of metrology, an introduction to the theory of measurement, causes and measurement errors, measurement accuracy and factors causing measurement inaccuracy 3) Length measurements, units of measurement - development, methods of measurement. Gauges and instruments for measuring length 4) Measurement of angles, angles metrology unit, an overview of gauges for measuring angles, measuring methods, measuring very small angles, cones and perpendicularity 5) Measurement deviations of shape and position, straightness and flatness, measurement and control profile, roundness, cylindrical, throw, play 6) Measurement of threading, fitting, and functional elements of the kinds of threads, thread control complex, elementary measurement coils, the specifics of control ball screw 7) Measurement of gears, gear types, kinematics of the tooth and the impact on the measurement requirements 8) Measurement of surface roughness, surface finish classification, comparing control processing, instruments for measuring surface roughness, roughness parameters, curve Abottova support section, New Directions in roughness 9) Geometric precision engineering equipment, protocols, precision inspection equipment such as a complex activity and safety features, performance and job testing and documentation 10) Laser measuring technology, theory and possibilities Laserinterferometers laser technology, laser holography in metrology 11) Automation of measurement, automation devices, sensors - principles and types, applying physical principles and methods for design automation of measurement strategies 12) Measurements in non-production stages, the requirements for placement machine foundation stiffness of machine tools, the development of new measurement methods, measurement of R & D 13) Requirements for engineering metrology, standards of EN 45000, accreditation měrových centers, business centers in metrology, metrology organizations in the enterprise, time control gauges. Using unconventional materials metrology, requirements for qualification metrology, the role of education
