Acquisition of basic knowledge in the field of automated flexible technological systems and structures.

Knowledge of the AFT structures and their components: machining, manipulating, measuring and controlling, transportation and storage, and computer control system, as well as programming them.

Introduction to the Flexible technological structures. Basic concepts and levels of complexity. Technological basis for the design and implementation of the AFT structures. Components of automated flexible systems. Numerically controlled machine tools as a component of AFT system and its development trend. Manipulating systems. Measuring and control systems. Transport and storage systems. Computer control systems. Composing of the AFT structures with different levels of complexity. Programming of AFT structures and their components (manual and automated). Programming of the NC machine tools. Programming of manipulating system. Programming of measurement and control systems.

Classes are held in the form of interactive lectures and laboratory practice and through consultations. In lectures,theoretical lessons is presented and illustrated with examples. Through laboratory exercises a knowledges gained at the example of the Flexible technological cell INDEX GU 600, 160 WHU are applied at the concrete exploitation examples of certain components of the AFT system. In addition to lectures and exercises are also held regular consultations. Exam rating is based on: the presence at lectures and exercises, successfully finished and defended tasks (three tasks), the success at the Colloquium and the oral part of the exam.
