Este trabalho tem por objetivo o design e a fabricação de superfícies tácteis a partir de padrões modulares encaixáveis. Estas superfícies foram construídas em diferentes materiais naturais (minerais e madeiras) e em distintos processos de fabricação inovadores (usinagem por jato de água, usinagem por controle numérico computadorizado ou CNC e corte a laser). A intenção foi desenvolver uma metodologia de design & tecnologia para aplicá-la em painéis de revestimento que possam ser produzidos em baixa escala de forma semi-industrial. A grande variedade de materiais naturais encontrados no estado do Rio Grande do Sul; a carência de design associado a estes materiais quando do produto final e o volume de rejeitos oriundos deste beneficiamento, foram os principais motivadores para a utilização destas matérias primas. O estudo de diferentes técnicas de design de superfície auxilia na transformação destes materiais, para que os mesmos passem a ter o formato de módulo. Dentro deste contexto, foram estudadas as técnicas desenvolvidas pelo artista Maurits Cornelis Escher. Ele dedicou boa parte de sua vida profissional à composição de desenhos que, justamente, partem da utilização da simetria, modularidade, continuidade e encaixe. Neste sentido, após a compreensão das técnicas utilizadas por Escher, alguns de seus desenhos foram aplicados nos materiais selecionados através dos processos de fabricação adequados, possibilitando a construção das diferentes superfícies tácteis. Os resultados obtidos identificam que a utilização de processos de fabricação inovadores para interferência nos materiais naturais são ferramentas importantes para a promoção de uma nova geração de produtos locais. Conclui-se que estas interferências viabilizam a fabricação de produtos com maior valor estético, social e econômico. / This work aims at the design and the manufacturing of tactile surfaces from modular plug patterns. These surfaces were built in different natural materials (mineral and wood) and in distinct innovative manufacturing processes (waterjet machining, computerized numerical control machining or CNC and laser cutting). The objective was to develop a design & technology methodology for applying it in coating panels that can be produced on a semiindustrial small scale. The huge variety of natural materials found in Rio Grande do Sul State, the lack of design associated to these materials as to the final product and the volume of waste from this processing were the main motivators for the use of these raw materials. The study of these different techniques of surface design helps the transformation of these materials in order that they start to have the modular format. Within this context, the techniques developed by the artist Maurits Cornelis Escher were studied. He devoted much of his professional life to the composition of drawings beginning exactly with the use of symmetry, modularity continuity and joint. In this sense, after understanding the techniques used by Escher, some of his drawings were applied in the materials selected through suitable manufacturing processes, enabling the construction of different tactile surfaces. The results obtained identify that the utilization of innovative manufacturing processes to interfere in the natural materials are important tools for the promotion of a new generation of local products. It is conclude that these interferences enable the manufacture of products with greater aesthetic, social and economic value.

This diploma thesis deals with digital commissioning of a robotic production system for laser cutting. First part of this thesis sums up teoretical knowledge of virtual commissioning, fundamentals of laser and laser cutting and system analysis of such a workplace. In practical part of this thesis, the workplace was designed including the workpiece clamping. The design and the digital commissioning itself was mediated by the software RobotStudio. In the programming language RAPID a control program was made and tuned. The workoplace was then virtually commissioned. For easier handling a user interface on FlexPendant was made.

This thesis deals with the possibilities of cutting strong steel metal sheets by means of laser and problems rising from the incision, their technological investigation. The basic philosophy consists on the research of the interaction between laser bunch and material, depending on the position of focal poin and sequential results in spec. heat. It determines the main parametres of the incision (from the total quantities and matematical description) which have the biggest effect on the occurence of wide cut and perhaps even on the quality of products and consequential optimalization of these quantities.

This project, elaborated within the engineering studies (code of field of study: N2301), deal with air supported laser cutting and its practical usage in industry. The project is divided into theoretical and experimental sections, consisting of detailed description of several successive steps of the experiment. The theoretical section describes the principle and function of laser, individual types of lasers and their classification, laser beam properties, laser cutting, etc. The practical part is focused on finding of a set of optimal cutting parameters, assessment of results of air supported laser cutting in terms of quality and accuracy of cutting surface. This part is followed by comparison of cutting surfaces with a conventional technology of laser cutting that uses oxygen and nitrogen. Final part of the project evaluates applicability of this unconventional technology from the economic point of view.

The project is elaborated in frame of engineering studies branch 2303T002. The project is submitting suggestion of convenient technologies of production for submitted flat sheet metal part 11 375. There are proposed a number of variants of production method, namely: production on sequence shearing tool, production by means of plasma machine, laser machines and machines for watejets cutting. Particular part is designed for the production quantity of 380 000 pieces per year. Based on the literary study of the shear and calculations, there were designed shearing tool for given part. For this tool the press CDCH 3000 P was selected (producer HESSE+CO Maschinenfabrik GmbH), with nominal force 3 000 kN. In the work there are included necessary calculations for all variants including technological and economical evaluation.
