The thesis describes an industrial production line intended for the manufac-
ture of alternators for use in the automotive industry, as well as a workplace
that is part of this line and where one of the alternator production operations
is carried out. First of all, chapter 2 describes the concept of the U-shaped pro-
duction line. The use of this line type is explained in the context of alternators
production. The theoretical justification for choosing this type of line follows.
On the basis of its analysis, the facts that apply to the given arrangement of
machines are presented and are further proved by the simulation of the line mo-
del. Finally, the simulation results are presented. Chapter 3 presents the working
station, which is part of the production line that is intended to be used in pro-
duction of alternators for automotive industry. Here, the structure of the device
with the associated components is described first, the mechanical properties of
the device are described below, and finally, the blocks representing the program
and the programming procedures that were used here are presented. The IEC
61131-3 standard is described in the chapter 4. The structure of the program
with the corresponding data types, programming languages, functions and stan-
dard programming practices is presented according to the standard. The work
therefore deals with the overall concept of the U-shaped production line, and the
implementation and operation of the machine that is part of this production line.
