Simul Manufacturing System Simulation (PMI, ver-8) 6. Workspace-Robot Simulation (WAT Solution, ver-1.2) 3D Printer: (Stratasys, Model object. 30) 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created. It is currently being used by the M Tech. Students and also for departmental purpose. Metal Forming Laboratory: Mechanical Press: A forming press, commonly shortened to press, is a machine tool that changes the shape of a work piece by the application of pressure. It is currently being used by the 6 th semester students. Plate Bending Machine:

2 A Plate Bending Machine is a machine that will bend different kind of metal sheet into a round or desired shape. The flat metal plate is placed in the machine on either side and "pre-bend" on the same side. The Side-Rolls do the work of bending. The Pinching Roll holds the plate. It is currently being used by the 6 th semester students. Shearing Machine: A shearing machine is equipped with blades, or rotary disks, for dividing plates or bars of metal. It is currently being used by the 6 th semester students. Metal Cutting Laboratory: Profile Projector: An Profile Projector (often simply called a optical comparator in context) is a device that applies the principles of optics for the inspection of chips after cutting process and also for inspection manufactured parts. It is currently being used by the 5 th semester students and also by 6 th semester students in metrology lab. Polishing Machine: The Polishing Machine is used to polish soft metals including copper and brass as well as plastics such as perspex. The two 'mops' spin at high speed when the 'on' switch is pressed. It is currently being used by 6 th semester students in metrology lab. Engine Lathe: A turning lathe in which the cutting tool has an automatic feed; used chiefly for turning and boring metals, cutting screws, etc. It is currently being used by the 5 th semester students and also by 6 th semester students in metrology lab. Grinding Machine: A grinding machine, often shortened to grinder, is any of various power tools or machine tools used for grinding, which is a type of machining using an abrasive wheel

3 as the cutting tool. Each grain of abrasive on the wheel's surface cuts a small chip from the workpiece via shear deformation. It is currently being used by the 5 th semester students and also by 6 th semester students in metrology lab. Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM): A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a device for measuring the physical geometrical characteristics of an object. This machine may be manually controlled by an operator or it may be computer controlled. Measurements are defined by a probe attached to the third moving axis of this machine. It is currently being used by 6 th semester students in metrology lab, and M tech. Students. Computer aided Design (CAD) Laboratory: Laser Micro Machining Setup: Laser ablation can be used to micromachine almost any material, as opposed to standard photolithographic... ranged from 0.5 to 1 J/cm 2 for materials processed by excimer lasers in the... It therefore appears that the laser micromachining parameters. It is currently being used by the M Tech. Students. Hardware: Server 1 Desktop-20 Software: 1. CATIA - Computer Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application: CATIA facilitates the design of electronic, electrical, and distributed systems such as fluid and HVAC systems, all the way to the production of documentation for manufacturing. CATIA enables the creation of 3D parts, from 3D sketches, sheetmetal, composites, molded, forged or tooling parts up to the definition of mechanical assemblies. The software provides advanced technologies for mechanical surfacing & BIW. It provides tools to complete product definition, including functional tolerances as well as kinematics definition. CATIA provides a wide range of applications for tooling design, for both generic tooling and mold & die. 2. ANSYS Finite Element Analysis: ANSYS Mechanical is a finite element analysis tool for structural analysis, including linear, nonlinear and dynamic studies. Thiscomputer simulation product provides finite elements to

4 model behavior, and supports material models and equation solvers for a wide range of mechanical design problems. ANSYS Mechanical also includes thermal analysis and coupledphysics capabilities involving acoustics, piezoelectric, thermal structural and thermo-electric analysis. Robotics Laboratory: Flexible Manufacturing Setup: A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is a manufacturing system in which there is some amount of flexibility that allows the system to react in case of changes, whether predicted or unpredicted. This flexibility is generally considered to fall into two categories, which both contain numerous subcategories. The main advantages of an FMS is its high flexibility in managing manufacturing resources like time and effort in order to manufacture a new product. The best application of an FMS is found in the production of small sets of products like those from a mass production. Non-Traditional Machine Laboratory: 1. Abrasive Jet Machining: Abrasive jet machining (AJM), also known as abrasive micro-blasting, pencil blasting and micro-abrasive blasting, [1] is an abrasive blasting machining process that usesabrasives propelled by a high velocity gas to erode material from the workpiece. Common uses include cutting heat-sensitive, brittle, thin, or hard materials. Specifically it is used to cut intricate shapes or form specific edge shapes. 2. Electrical Discharge Machine: Electrical discharge machining (EDM), sometimes colloquially also referred to as spark machining, spark eroding, burning, die sinking, wire burning or wire erosion, is a manufacturing process whereby a desired shape is obtained using electrical discharges(sparks). 3. Water Jet Machine: The process uses a high velocity narrow jet of a liquid (water) to cut materials. The jet of liquid velocity is about 2000 ft/sec. Material is eroded from the workpiece at the impact location of the liquid jet. An important benefit of this machining process is the ability to cut material without interfering with the material's inherent structure as there is no "heat-affected zone".

5 4. Micro Hardness Tester: Micro Hardness Testing of metals, composites and ceramics are employed where a 'macro' hardness test is not usable. Micro hardness tests can be used to provide necessary data when measuring individual microstructures within a larger matrix, or testing very thin foil like materials, or when determining the hardness gradient of a specimen along a cross section. 5. Laser Beam Machining: Laser beam machining (LBM) is a non-traditional subtractive manufacturing process, a form of machining, in which a laseris directed towards the work piece for machining. This process uses thermal energy to remove material from metallic or nonmetallic surfaces. 6. Ultrasonic Machine: Ultrasonic machining is a subtraction manufacturing process that removes material from the surface of a part through high frequency, low amplitude vibrations of a tool against the material surface in the presence of fine abrasive particles. The tool travels vertically or orthogonal to the surface of the part at amplitudes of 0.05 to mm (0.002 to in.). The fine abrasive grains are mixed with water to form a slurry that is distributed across the part and the tip of the tool. Typical grain sizes of the abrasive material range from 100 to 1000, where smaller grains (higher grain number) produce smoother surface finishes. 7. Electro microscope Machine: An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination. As the wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light photons, the electron microscope has a higher resolving power than alight microscope and can reveal the structure of smaller objects. A transmission electron microscope can achieve better than 50 pm resolution.
