FLUID MECHANICS / MACHINES LAB
Overview
A Machine shop is both an engineer's laboratory and an artist's studio.In Workshop and Machine shop lab, students will work on various machines to create a model of specific dimension and shape. The various machines the students will work on are Lathe, Milling machine, Shaping machine, Grinding machine and Drilling machine. Apart from these machines, students will also use hand tools to create fitting models using files, hacksaw blade, punch etc. The secret to a machine shop is that all of the tools operate on the same principles. A machine may have straight or rotating blades, a flat-edged or angled cutting tool, a moving tool or a moving workpiece. By understanding first the basic concepts of the machine shop, you can figure out how to use a machine that might not be as familiar, or even create your own tools to solve a special machining problem. Lab is provided with proper ventilation, space and sufficient lighting.
