The Manufacturing Technology Laboratory is one of the department’s largest laboratories, which is equipped with a sufficient number of machines as prescribed in the curriculum. This laboratory is equipped with a Lathe, Slotting Machine, Milling Machine, Drilling Machine, Grinding Machine, Gear Hobbing Machine and CNC Lathe.
Computer Aided Machine Drawing laboratory is equipped with computers, CAD software and Printer. The CAD introduces to the students about process planning and the tools that are needed to carry for process planning. Process planning is an engineering activity that determines the appropriate procedures for transforming raw materials into a final product as specified by an engineering design. Engineering designs are conventionally documented using detailed diagrams indicating important design characteristics such as dimensions, tolerances, materials, and other pertinent specifications. Even though these diagrams convey a large amount of information about a design, they are incomplete in that they do not describe the manufacturing steps necessary to produce the final part.
Fluid Mechanics & Machinery laboratory is fully equipped with all necessary equipments along with their accessories as required for course as per the syllabus prescribed by Anna University. The laboratory provides training to undergraduate students in flow measurements. The study of pumps and turbines and its mechanisms will enhance the student’s knowledge to choose the right equipment for right work such as pumping the water this laboratory gives the overall knowledge about the production of power from water by using the different turbines.
