Course detail
Processes, Jigs and Tools in Machining Technology
FSI-HNP Acad. year: 2025/2026 Summer semester
The use of tools and fixtures within Technological Preparation for Production is an integral component of the Machining Process. The primary objective of this course is to introduce students to the fundamentals of designing cutting and forming tools in machining, including the selection and utilization of tool materials. Various imaging systems are described for constructing cutting and forming devices and procedures for designing operational fixtures that comply with proposed technology. Concurrently, individual tool materials and their applications within construction of machinery are evaluated. To familiarize oneself with the design, students engage in an individual project to create a basic fixture and tool for machining using modern CAD applications.

Aims
The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the methodology of the technological planning of the production of engineering components, designing of the production procedure and analysis of respective relations in the technology of the engineering components production.
The aim of the second half of course is to familiarise students with the basic principles of designing and construction of communal and up-to-date tools and fixtures for individual basic technologies of machining, with the use of a computer technology.
The students will learn production procedures of typical engineering components in terms of individual stages of the production procedure.
The students will obtain basic knowledge necessary for designing of machining tools in basic technologies (design of the principle, choice of cutting material). When designing the fixtures, the student will obtain basic knowledge for designing a principle for alignment, clamping of the fixture for machining technology. Computer technology will be used for the solution of the problems.
