Aims

The objective is for students to manage principles of methods applied for shanking and machining connected with the given technologies. They will be familiar with materials treated by shanking, and with the technology of basic cutting and forming methods with respect to the interaction machine-tool-workpiece. They will be acquainted with basic ways and methods of cutting and forming including all the respective areas. The course will help them to built up a basis and acquire skills necessary for further deepening og knowledge in the field.


Students will be able to chose and apply shanking technologies, and will have an overview of physical principles and side-effects of the forming and machining process. They will be made familiar with the approaches to basic methods and ways of shanking and machining. The course will enable them to combine different engineering technologies. This knowledge is necessary to take into account technical as well as economical aspects.
