Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: Ing. Zbyněk Dostál, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚFI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the subject is to familiarize students with the solution of mechanisms movements within instruments and devices of precise mechanics with an optimal use of computers.
Learning outcomes and competences:
The course enables students to acquire knowledge necessary for solving problems connected with movements within instruments and devices of precise mechanics with respect to kinematic and dynamic parameters of the system.
Prerequisites:
Students are expected to have knowledge and skills necessary for solving problems connected with movements within instruments and devices of precise mechanics with respect to kinematic and dynamic parameters of the system.
Course contents:
The course “Precise Mechanics I” familiarizes students with basic construction parts of precise mechanics and optics. Special attention is paid to optical details and knots, their drawing, dimensioning and fixing in technical assemblies. Also dealt with is the computer tracing of ray through optical systems.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Active participation in seminars and three written tests.
Exam: written.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at seminars is checked. Absence from lessons may be compensated for according to instructions of the teacher.
