Supervisor: | Ing. Matúš Ranuša, Ph.D. | |||
Supervising institute: | ÚK | |||
Teaching language: | Czech | |||
Aims of the course unit: | ||||
Students will gain practical experience with the development process of a mechanism powered by compressed air. They will be able to design a simple pneumatic circuit including its control using Arduino. |
||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
- Understand the pneumatic circuit and its elements function. |
||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Basic knowledge of mechanical engineering and CAD modelling. |
||||
Course contents: | ||||
The course provides a detailed introduction to basic pneumatic systems and their individual elements. Students will get acquainted with the principle of operation of the racing air-powered vehicle – Pneumobil - and will have the opportunity to try the ride themselves. Students will acquire knowledge and practical skills that are applied in the design of a simple mechanism powered by a pneumatic system. They will learn how to control the mechanism using the Arduino development board and will have opportunities for CAD modelling and 3D printing skills improvement. |
||||
Teaching methods and criteria: | ||||
The course is taught in the form of exercises that have the character of an explanation of the basic principles and theory of selected areas. Laboratory exercise is focused on the practical practice of the discussed substance on a specific example – a simple pneumatic mechanism. |
||||
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: | ||||
The students will be evaluated based on regular active participation in exercises and according to the fulfilment of a semester project in laboratory exercises. |
||||
Controlled participation in lessons: | ||||
Participation in seminars is mandatory. Two absences are allowed in the exercises. A longer absence is replaced by a special assignment according to the instructions of the teacher. |
