Keywords: IAWJ machining | IceJet | ice abrasive | cryogenic gas | ice particles

Ice jet technology also known as ice abrasive water jet (IAWJ) is a prototype technology currently under development. In IAWJ technology ice particles made from water are used instead of mineral abrasive. The aim is to increase the productivity of pure water jet (WJ) while keeping its advantages, producing no other waste product but water. Technology has great potential to be used in food and medical in (…)

Keywords: OLED | organic LED | temperature | FEM | design of experiment | heat transfer

This paper describes the temperature distribution of an organic light emitting diode (OLED) panel calculated by a finite element method (FEM) and measured. Organic LEDs (OLEDs or organic electro luminescence) are examples of solid-state lighting (SSL) that have been rapidly developed and applied in many practical fields owing to their high efficiency and on mercury-free operation. However, energy is los (…)

THE GENERATION OF ROBOT EFFECTOR TRAJECTORY AVOIDING OBSTACLES

MARTIN KOMAK, MARIAN KRALIK, VLADIMIR JERZ
Keywords: obstacle avoiding | trajectory planning | Industrial Robot | optimization | robot effector

This paper discusses the problem of trajectory planning for robotic manipulators at minimal cost. The paper deals with problems of obstacle avoidance during the manipulation and technological activities of the industrial robot. A system has been designed to find a trajectory that is both collision-free and of minimal distance. The goal is to reduce workplace costs with the robot and thus increase the ef (…)

THE INFLUENCE OF CUTTING PARAMETERS ON SURFACE QUALITY AND NITROGEN CONSUMPTION DURING LASER CUTTING

VACLAV MUSIL, MAREK SADILEK, ROBERT CEP, SARKA MALOTOVA
Keywords: laser cutting | consumption of process medium | nozzle diameter | process fluid pressure

Unconventional machining methods, or also progressive machining methods, such as laser cutting, waterjet cutting, ultrasound machining, etc. are undergoing a very rapid development. Laser cutting machines often evaluate even 80 parameters in real time. Their advantage is the significantly higher productivity. Many values are defined by the machine manufacturer and can not be changed for a given laser. F (…)

PRODUCTION ENHANCEMENT THROUGH USING A CONTINUOUS SYSTEM OF WINDING ELECTRIC MACHINES

LADISLAV FUGLICEK
Keywords: insulation | stator coil | voltage | operating tests | winding

The article is focused on the practical test of stator coil isolation by a continuous winding system. The winding system has two types. Discontinuous winding requires precise manual winding of the material. Discontinuous winding is time consuming. The use of the winding machine is limited by a maximum voltage of 11 kV. With continuous winding, the machine winding is accurate, the winding time is lower a (…)

TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF AL-ALLOY DESIGNED FOR DRAWING STAMPINGS IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

PAVEL SOLFRONK, JIRI SOBOTKA, DAVID KORECEK, MICHAELA KOLNEROVA
Keywords: Al-alloys | tribology | Drawing of Sheets | Car-body | 3D Surface Color Map | Friction Coefficient

Strict legislative requirements for environmental protection and tendency to lower consumption of fossil fuels force the car producers to still find new possibilities in the car-body design. As one of such possibilities there is effort to apply materials with low specific weight. Among these belong also Al-alloys that are affordable, but in comparison to steels also difficult to be technologically proce (…)

THE INFLUENCE OF THE NETWORK DENSITY ON THE CREEP MODULUS OF RADIATION CROSSLINKED MATERIALS

MARTIN REZNICEK, MICHAL STANEK, LENKA HYLOVA, DAVID MANAS
Keywords: polyethylene | creep | crosslinked | tensile – creep modulus | modulus | time

This article deals with the creep modulus process comparison of two structurally different materials. These are specific materials HDPE (high density polyethylene) and LDPE (low density polyethylene). These materials were chosen because of their shared monomer from which they were created and differ only in the chain shape. Subsequently these materials were beta radiation crosslinked at six various dose (…)

Keywords: Cura Engine | Skeinforge | Slic3r | comparison

Thanks to the open source project RepRap the 3D printing technology has been delivered from laboratories to normal households. Since the beginning of the project, 3D printing has been constantly gaining in popularity thanks to the relatively simplicity in the production or transformation of ideas into physical models. In addition to the choice of hardware for open-source 3D printer an important factor d (…)
