Learning outcomes
Description of machine tools, their characteristics and specific feasibility of machines. Precision, stiffness. Forces, Power transmission. Design for rigidity and performance, requirements. Design principles and Characteristics of various parts-e.g. spindles, feed mechanisms, guides, drives, clamping devices, frames, manipulation, control, automation.
Students will acquire knowledge of machine tools, their characteristics and feasibility, their requirements on precision, stiffness, rigidity, forces, power transmission. They learn design principles of various parts-e.g. spindles, feed mechanisms, guides, drives, clamping devices, frames, manipulation, control, automation.
Prerequisites
Area knowledge from Machine parts, Elasticity and stresses.

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined examination

CREDIT: Attendance on lectures and tutorials is essential. In some tutorials a report of produced calculations or drawing will be required. This should be produced within a week in satisfying manner. A Credit is based mainly on performance during tutorials, reports quality and outlook. EXAMINATION: Examination is based on written part (test) and oral part.
