The qualification of probe heads before the measurements performed with their usage is now a standard procedure. It is used for correction of probe head’s and measuring tip systematic errors. The calibration sphere, which is used for this process, should have adequately small form errors. However, it is not always possible to use a highly accurate spheres and it is a common practice to use a sphere...
The application of the supply chain management (SCM) in industry has achieved much success, especially in the manufacturing sector. In the current market, the Vietnamese construction companies must compete not only with domestic companies but also with foreign ones, the application of SCM is essential to improve efficiency and increase their competitive advantage. In this paper, a survey was carried...
The aim of this study was to analyse the possibilities of improving the ecological parameters of compression – ignition CI engines. During the analysis of exhaust gas, attention was mainly paid to the emission of nitrogen oxides and carbon black soot. A method was proposed to reduce the above chemical elements in CI – engine exhaust fumes by using the annular channels on the non-working part of the...
Pipe conveyors make up important elements of ecological transport systems. They ensure the material is transported in the conveyor belt coiled to the shape of a pipe. Various stresses impact their most important component - the conveyor belt - straining it in both, the longitudinal and the transverse direction. This phenomenon arises in connection with the shape of the conveyor route of the pipe conveyor,...
The concern of this article is the analysis of the impact of increased volume (dilation) and decreased strength of the rock material in the plastic zone on the displacement field in the vicinity of the roadway. Elastic-plastic model of the behaviour of the rock material and the strength criterion of Coulomb-Mohr were assumed. The volume change of the rock material is controlled by the angle of dilation...
The aim of the paper is to evaluate the economic efficiency of the proposed modernization of the production process of crushed stone in the quarry and to decide whether to accept it or reject it. The project is assessed in a complex way. Profitability is evaluated using Net Present Value (NPV) and Profitability Index (PI), liquidity by means of Discounted Payback Period (DPP). The risk associated...
The subject of the research paper is evaluation of different criteria that ought to be taken into consideration while deciding about conveyor type. Analythical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a well known multicriteria analysis method in evaluation of criteria. Five experts in the field of conveyor transport have been consulted and according to that evaluation was performed. After that, Hurwitz method...
The article deals with the application of vision guided parallel robot FANUC M-1iA for automated assembly process. Vision system is used for object identification and filtering the data about its position and orientation. Control system based on iR Vision system can process data collected from camera Sony XC-56 fixed to the frame and navigate the end-effector to grasp and move selected objects. Integration...
Friction Stir Spot Welding is one of the most contemporary methods of joining metals and alloys in their solid state. The ability to join elements made of aluminum alloys allows for utilizing this method in the manufacturing of aircraft structures while lowering the work load, costs, and weight, without sacrificing or even having better strength parameters than classic methods of joining elements...
We analyse storage problems of digital images in accordance with image quality and image compression efficiency. Storage problems are relevant for Cloud storage and file hosting services, online file storage providers, social networks, etc. In this paper, an approach is proposed to process a group of images with a JPEG algorithm that all the processed images satisfy the minimum threshold of quality...
The paper presents the research results of roughness and surface topography of the C45 non-alloy steel after centrifugal burnishing and perpendicular peening. The assessment of the geometric structure of the tested steel surface included the parameters: amplitude: Ra, horizontal: RSm, height: Rz, Rp and Rv, and Abbott-Firestone curve: Rpk, Rk and Rvk. Perpendicular shot peening was performed on a...
The paper presents the results of examination of microhardness of chemical coatings Ni-P, applied on samples of aluminium alloy for plastic processing AW-7075. The examinations have been performed on samples with three different thicknesses of the Ni-P coatings; next the influence of their thickness on the depth of material penetration by the indenter under load, as well as its influence on creep,...
This article deals with examing the effect of modifier on changes in microstructure of the alloy AlSi7Mg0.3. The content of the experiment was to examine the effect of addition of calcium, stroncium, and antimony to change the morphology of the eutectic silicon in the alloy type of Al-Si (namely AlSi7Mg0.3). Besides changes in the morphology of eutectic silicon was explored focused on character exlusion...
The paper addresses the problem of material fracture in cross rolling processes. A new test based on rotary compression for determining limit values of the damage function after the Cockroft-Latham criterion is proposed. A FEM analysis is performed to determine the stress and strain states in a workpiece subjected to this test. The numerical results demonstrate that the axial region of the workpiece...
Buckling of thin-walled and load-bearing elements of a structure can have devastating consequences. Hence, buckling checks are an integral part of strength analysis of structures. The buckling problem of thin rectangular plates subjected to in-plane compressive and/or shear loading is of great importance in building, bridge, aerospace, marine, and shipbuilding industries. When buckling occurs, thin...
Selection of distribution channel type is an important decision of every manufacturing company and also for production engineering. Appropriate choice of distribution channel can save considerable costs while maintaining a high level of customer service. Determination of an appropriate strategy for the management of enterprise distribution channel. In this article, the selection of the type of distribution...
The paper presents a simple method for determining the phenomenon of unsteady thermal effects in cooling a circular cylinder. The research has been undertaken in order to explain the thermoaerodynamic processes, which are characterized by the turbulent structure of the flow around a stationary rigid heated cylinder cooled by the oscillating flow. The forced convection of heat occurs in the presence...

The operating software of the 3D printer offers various settings, which influence the quality and efficiency of printing. In the article there is described the printing of a sample with all fillament print strategies available...
The advancement of diesel fuel injection systems is forced by the increasingly stringent exhaust emissions limits. Modern injection systems must generate fuel pressure in excess of 200 MPa, which very often leads to premature wear of the mating components. Generating high pressures results in much force load acting on the pumps. In the case of frequently applied cam-driven pumps, high loads result...
