In the precision technology there is a trend towards smaller, faster and more accurate construction. Systems contain electronic actuators, sensors, line units and software. The mechanical designer is expected to deliver an essential contribution to support the other disciplines in achieving the numerous system specifications. Expertise of construction principles is indispensable in this proces. A good mechanical design is the basis for an accurate and fast production proces. You will learn this during the course Design principles.
- Have a conceptual understanding of working methods for the design of precision mechanisms
- Know how to recognise problem areas, to identify alternatives and to make the appropriate choices
- Get acquainted with dynamic behaviour and control engineering
About the course Design principles
At the end of the Design principles course you will have a conceptual understanding of working methods for the design of precision mechanisms. Besides you know how to recognise problem areas, to identify alternatives and to make the appropriate choices.
Certification
At the end of this CPE approved course you will receive one point per day, so a total of 3 points. From 45 points you are entitled to use the title CPE (Certified Precision Engineer).

Your teacher
Raymond Lafarre
A large part of this course revolves around awareness of how design principles affect the performance of machines and products. Central to how fundamental design choices about power transmission, degrees of freedom and friction (or rather lack of friction) affect accuracy and predictability.
