The paper dealt with the evaluation of mechanical properties of the cylinder wheat straw, rapeseed straw and 50/50 % mixed wheat and rapeseed straw pellet samples. The pellets were made by the granulating machine MGL 200 (Kovonovak). The compressive loading curves of dependencies of stress on strain were realised by the test stand Andilog Stentor 1000 (Andilog Technologies, Vitrolles, France). Certain mechanical parameters were determined, namely the initial force (force at 10 % of compress strain), force in maximum of loading curve, strain in maximum of loading curve, initial stress (stress at 10 % of compression strain), stress in maximum of loading curve and modulus of elasticity. Mean value of the initial force was maximal for mixed straw pellet samples 52.49 N. Mean values of the initial force of the wheat straw samples and the rapeseed straw samples were smaller and almost identical 43.58 N and 43.12 N. Mean values of the initial stress of loading curve, of the wheat straw samples reached 1.46 MPa, the rapeseed straw samples reached value 1.40 MPa and the mixed straw samples reached value 1.63 MPa. Mean value of the force in maximum of loading curve was also maximal for mixed straw pellet samples 213.26 N. Mean values of the force in maximum of loading curve of the wheat straw samples reached 178.11 N. The rapeseed straw samples reached value 95.95 N and the mixed straw samples reached value 213.26 N. Mean values of the stress in maximum of loading curve, of the wheat straw samples reached 5.93 MPa, the rapeseed straw samples reached value 3.11 MPa and the mixed straw samples reached value 7.10 MPa Mean values of the modulus of elasticity, of the wheat straw samples reached 18.27 MPa, the rapeseed straw samples reached value 13.08 MPa and the mixed straw samples reached value 14.97 MPa. Significant correlations of the mechanical parameters pellet samples were observed among initial force and initial stress and modulus of elasticity. Significant correlations of force in maximum with stress and strain in the maximum were observed.

The thesis focuses on the measurement and identification of the dynamic system of a DC motor. The identification consists of measuring the number of revolutions of the DC motor, while changing the size of the motor power, and then performing a transfer function in the MATLAB computer program. The control unit consists of a C8051F342 microcontroller. The results of measuring the number of revolutions are performed by the computer program Terminal v1.9b. The conclusion evaluates the correctness of the measured results and the identified transfer function.

The paper deals with the quality measurement process using the KEYENCE® industrial monochromatic camera and its calibration to determine the dimensions of the component under quality control process. The threshold value determines the shape of the component and the histogram method determines the number of pixels of the selected analyzed area. After calibrating the camera with a scale and changing the camera's distance to the object, a general equation was obtained from the measured points. Using this equation, it is possible to determine the size of the measured object from pixels. The average relative error of the object’s dimensions was: length - 1.94 % and the width of 100 components was: 1.31 %. In quality control, monochrome cameras can be used to measure product dimensions, along with image processing principles and with other measure methods.
