The paper presents the design, implementation, and experimental verification of a hybrid camera–laser sensor (Keyence IX‑080) integrated into an automated turbocharger assembly line. The study addresses the limitations of traditional optical and inductive sensors when detecting small metallic components with high reflectivity, variable orientation, and sensitivity to changing lighting conditions. A syst (…)
The aim of the presented study is to analyze the causes of a leakage type failure occurring in a servo drive plastic housing and to identify the design and process factors that contribute to its formation. Based on a Design FMEA, which classified the housing leakage as a critical failure mode with a high Risk Priority Number (RPN = 196), a numerical simulation of the injection molding process was perfor (…)
Additive manufacturing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and robotics are key pillars of Industry 4.0, enabling the creation of connected and intelligent manufacturing systems. Despite the development of robotic additive manufacturing, the field of open and low-cost extrusion head control solutions for industrial robots remains relatively unexplored. This study focuses on the design and development of an I (…)
The use of additive technologies in industrial production provides companies with a competitive advantage. However, implementing 3D printing poses challenges, from selecting the right technology and material to operator qualifications and mechanical properties of the prints. This study investigates the influence of fibre orientation and print quality on mechanical properties. Samples were 3D printed fro (…)
This paper presents the development of a web application for automated cutting tool selection in machining, addressing the limitations of manual, experience-based choice that is time-consuming and difficult to standardize. The system is implemented as a three-tier client–server application, featuring a Java backend, a PostgreSQL database, and a React frontend. A proposed hybrid decision-making procedure (…)
Quenching is a commonly used method of heat treatment of steels with the objective of achieving the desired properties, most often increasing of hardness. To achieve the desired properties, it is important to correctly set the technological and process parameters, especially the correct quenching temperature, time endurance, the cooling rate and the quenching medium selection. The influence of the selec (…)
The article discusses the five-element modelling of a nonlinear system. In most cases, the nonlinearity is resolved between two objects that interact with each other. For example, the relationship between production and maintenance is non-linear. If the production system is inherently reliable, the maintenance requirements are lower. Such a system is often inefficient and expensive. On the other hand, a (…)
The article focuses on optimizing the transmission and processing of information within airport information systems. To solve this problem, it is necessary to know the absolute information flow and the method of signaling emergency conditions, which complement the overall reliability of the systems and also have an economic impact on their operation. Using logit models and prognostic simulations, the hi (…)
