Prerequisites

Main purpose

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

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.
