Service and Maintenance of Machines (FSI-EPS-K)

Academic year 2020/2021
Supervisor: Ing. Daniel Zuth, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚVSSR all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The objective of the course is to obtain theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the operation and maintenance of machines.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Pursuant to the course contents, students will acquire broad knowledge in the field of operation and maintenance of machines, which will allow them to competently engage in solving various problems related to the area in question in industrial engineering and electrotechnic practice.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge of reliability and technical diagnostics from the so-far completed bachelor-level studies is assumed.
Course contents:
The subject is focused on the most sophisticated knowledge about service and maintenance of machines. Emphasis is laid on the means of fail-safety maintenance, theory of system maintenance and the current trends in maintenance. The principles of Industry 4.0 are also clarified in view of the impacts on the modern machine maintenance and instrumentation. Attention is also devoted to technical diagnostics and its application in maintenance. In this context, tribology and tribodiagnostics, lubricants and lubrication systems are discussed, as often a neglected part of service and maintenance of machines. Failures of machine nodes and their identification are presented. The subject is also devoted to the organizational structure and the maintenance management, economy and maintenance performance evaluation as well as quality management and maintenance risks. All mentioned above is discussed in view of machine failure-free operation.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The subject consists of lectures and tutorials. The lectures are focused on the basic principles and the theory of problems. Attention is concentrated on the utilization, and mainly on the practical application of knowledge which the students have gained in the subject of „The Principles of Technical Diagnostics“ and „The Principles of Reliability“. Tutorials are focused on the practical knowledge gained in the lectures, and in an appropriate semester section completed with computer support. Depending upon the possibilities, the lectures of the specialists from industrial practice as well as the excursions in the companies, whose activities relate to the subject, are also organized.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The course consists of exercises and lectures. Exercise is completed by credit (awarded in the 13th week). To obtain it is required 100% participation in exercises and activity in exercises. Students will work out the individual work in the prescribed range and quality. Based on the quality of the work in the exercise, the student earns up to 30 points for the exam The work must be submitted in writing and checked and recognized by the teacher. The test is realized by written test, student can get up to 70 points from this test, where 30 points from exercises. Evaluation of the test result is given by the ECTS grading scale.
Controlled participation in lessons:
The students’ participation in seminars and activity. 100% participation in seminars is required; in case of absence, the student is obliged to substitute for the missed tuition in a way determined by the lecturer.
