Knowledge

After the course the student has knowledge of:

- Design and build a virtual 4-5 axis machines and a robot with 6 degree of freedom
- Create and assemble necessary CAD models and components building the CNC equipment
- Define kinematic, velocity profile and limits for the different components in the CNC equipment
- Prismatic (2½D) to 5 axis CAM programming.
- Simulate the CAM programming against the virtual CNC equipment.
- On existing equipment measure and virtual build a 4-5 axis CNC machine
- Simulate own developed CAM programme.
- Cutting and tooling technology.
- Tool Libraries and process planning
- ISO code for CNC equipment.
- Build own Postprocessors
- G-code simulation

Skills

The student gain skills in the software Siemens NX inside design, building, simulation of virtual and digital production equipment – and understand the importance and industrial potential in simulating production processes.

Competences

The student get competences to understand, specify, build and evaluate Virtual Machine and Process Systems for industrial use.

Examination

The course terminates with the hand in of a mini project done in groups of 2-3 students, finally examined at an oral group examination.

In the mini project the students design, build and assemble a virtual 5axis CNC machine equipped with a robot and simulate manufacturing of a given product.
