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
Written exam, Written assignment

CREDIT: Attendance at lectures and tutorials is essential. In some tutorials, a report of calculations or drawings produced will be required. Students should produce reports satisfactorily within a week. Credit is based mainly on performance during tutorials, report quality, and outlook. EXAMINATION: The examination is based on a written part (test).
