Modern Manufacturing from State of Art Processes to Automation and Industry 4.0

About

Robotization and automation of processes, remote operation of machines, devices and sensors are issues directly connected with the current trends of a modern manufacturing. The idea of the course is to present the current state-of-art manufacturing processes, followed by automation and robotization and Industry 4.0 approach. During the classes, students will learn about following contemporary solutions applicable in modern production systems:
• programming of industrial robots (Fanuc, Yaskawa, Kawasaki) that perform advanced joining, forming and other processes related to engineering materials,
• technology development for different joining processes of metals (preparation of raw materials, selection of feedstock materials and process parameters, etc.) and application of selected technological tests for quality assessment,
• using industrial robots and manipulators for coating technologies by thermal spraying methods (twin-wire arc spraying, plasma spraying, cold spraying),
• design, production and post processing of parts by 3D printing technology,
• advanced programming of automation elements (PLC controllers, network blocks, actuators and sensors) used in industrial networks and communication interfaces.
