The master’s thesis focuses on the machining of a chosen gearbox on a CNC machine. The theoretical part deals with gearboxes in general and the aluminium alloy from which a selected gearbox is manufactured. In the practical part, the machining of the gearbox is proposed according to the corresponding drawing. Gradually suitable machines are selected, then depending on their limits, clamping devices are designed, next a set of tools is selected and an NC program is generated. The technological process of production is proposed and the basic production costs are calculated.

Tato diplomová práce byla vypracována v průmyslovém kontextu, během stáže ve firmě Metso. Zlepšení obráběcího procesu zajišťovacích šroubů bylo cílem této práce, aby byla umožněna budoucí automatizace zakládání obrobku do stroje. Zlepšení bylo zhodnoceno na základě úrovně autonomie během obrábění, eliminace neprogramovaných zastavení stroje operátorem a dostačujícího odvodu třísek. Implementace automatických systému do číslicově řízeného obráběcího centra umožňuje zvýšení produktivity. Před automatizováním obráběcího procesu však musí být proces optimalizován. Zejména dostatečná fragmentace třísek a jejich evakuace jsou klíčové. Dlouhé nedělené třísky můžou poškodit systémy jako například automatický měnič nástrojů, dopravník třísek nebo průmyslového robota. Dostatečná lámavost třísek může být zaručena správným výběrem technologie a strategie obrábění, výběrem řezného nástroje a řezných podmínek pro daný materiál obrobku.

This master´s thesis deals with unconventional technology of wire electrical discharge machining. There are described the principles and essence of electrical discharge machining and the principles related to wire electrical discharge machining with emphasis on the application of this technology in terms of medium-sized engineering company. There is also described the complete assembly of technolgy wire cutting and machining on wire cutter Excetek V 650. Then in the work there are statistically evaluated parameters precision machined surfaces, specifically to the belt pulley 116-8M-130. At the end of the work there is the technical-economic evaluation that addresses the hourly cost of machining on wire cutter Excetek V 650.

The Diploma thesis deals with the design solution of multi-functional machining centre, especially with one of its parts – the design of the slide ram and vertical feed incl. the choice of convenient tool heads for the slide ram. The introducing part deals with the numerically controlled machines and centres generally, especially with the portal-type ones. It contains description of individual machine parts including examples of accessories from product plans of domestic and foreign producers. The second part of the Diploma thesis contains calculations and design solution of the slide ram and feed including the choice of the most suitable accessories applicable for this purpose. In the final phase the model of the slide ram has been introduced in the imersion virtual reality and integrated in the complete machine design. The Diploma thesis has been elaborated using the relevant technical literature.

This Master's thesis deals with the issue of high-speed turning of the 100Cr6 material. The aim is to identify and experimentally validate an innovative production process for a particular component. The thesis includes theoretical basis of high-speed machining, analysis of the current state of the manufacturing process, innovation design and experimental verification. At the end of the thesis, parameters of the machined surfaces of specimens are evaluated.

This thesis presents a newly developed manufacturing method, based on cyber-physically enhanced hybrid machining, regarding an optical bench (OB) made of Ti6Al4V alloy for the Advanced Telescope for High-ENergy Astrophysics (ATHENA). The method includes sophisticated hybrid laser metal deposition equipment and state-of-the-art cryogenic machining hardware. The derived strategy combines localized energy input, preheating, heat treatment, intermediate stress relief and machining. This results in a complex thermal history and remaining residual stresses, representing a considerable challenge for final precision machining. The method targets first time right machining based on iterative machining, process data-based tool path correction and spatially resolved root cause research based on process data modeling.:II.
