If sufficient demand

The course gives limited access to advanced equipment in production laboratories. Also to provide the student with knowledge and skills to handle and operate various machines and manufacturing processes and to combine this with theoretical knowledge and work. After examination, the course participants should be able to practice their knowledge in other courses in their PhD-studies.

The course comprises a number of practical tasks where different types of machines and workshop processes are introduced, followed by individual exercises in order to promote the practical skills of the student. Related to each practical task, theoretical aspects are illustrated and examined, e.g. in the applied materials section. The main part of the course is carried out in the student workshop facility and the machine equipment installed constitutes the focus of the course tasks. Being examined from the course, each participant will receive limited access to advanced equipment in production laboratories. The course comprises education in machining of materials (turning, milling, drilling etc), sheet metal processing, welding (MAG, TIG, MMA), NC machining, tool technology and a comprehensive part including materials technology, heat treatment and metrology. The heat treatment part comprises material structures in different material groups, the heat treatments to achieve certain properties and sample preparation in order to analyse structures and properties. Theoretical models are used in order to understand achieved results.

Have knowledge and understanding of safety regulations for workshop practice.
Understand and be able to interpret information on a machine drawing in order to carry out a complete process planning of a drawn part.
Be able to assess and describe factors important for product quality and productivity, related to the actual processes in the course.
Understand the principle how a NC program for a numerical lathe and for a numerical milling machine is created on basis of a technical drawing and know how to simulate the NC code and to perform error correction.
Be able to explain the effects of different heat treatment operations and based on prepared material samples and material models, in group and in writing and orally, be able to analyse the results of the practical exercises.

Be able to safely operate machining equipment, including choosing the correct cutting data and to rig the right tool setups.
Be able to operate different welding machines and processes, including different welding positions.
Understand and be able to interpret information on a machine drawing in order to carry out a complete process planning of a drawn part.
Be able to program a numerical machine and to perform a simulation and error correction at the machine panel.
Be able to perform heat treatment of materials and to be able to evaluate the effect of the heat treatment based on sample testing and analysis.
Be able to measure geometrical quantities connected to tools and tool wear.
Be able to handle equipment for the measuring of cutting forces (dynamical) and accelerations.
