The CAD/Cam laboratory trains the students in the upcoming fields of analysis of structures and also the design of various components. The experiments designed helps the student to get a complete picture on how to design a component from step to step right from choosing the material, the basic shapes, assembly and then analysis on the strength of the entire structure. The laboratory is equipped with 32 systems with P-IV processors, 80 GB memory, 17” colour monitor and 1GB Ram. The softwares used are Solidworks (16 licenses), Edge CAM (5 users) Ansys11.0 (25 licenses), Matlab 11.0 (15 licenses), CATIA V 5R11 (25 licenses).

The college is very particular that the students must get the best of the coaching that is available and that is the sole reason why the lathe shop consists of full and full production level lathes that are used in industries. The students are extensively trained to machine various components with experiments that include facing, turning, and multi threads, under cut, boring and also advanced tests like tool life analysis. The lathe shop is equipped with Panther lathe with Centre height 215 mm, distance between centers 1000 mm, Length of Bed 1380mm, and Kirloskar Lathes with 175mm centre height, 800mm distance among centers, 1200 mm bed length. All together the Laboratory is equipped with 15 lathes.

The metrology laboratory concerns in investigating the theory on the performance of various machines and the underlying mechanisms. The student would be trained to identify basic flaws in designs to eliminate unwanted vibrations, whirling and also balance a mechanism to avoid the above faults. The measurement lab trains the student on all available methods of measurement from a vernier, various gauges, micrometers, scales etc… The lab is equipped with various equipments such as a universal governor with a .1 hp motor, 8000rpm and a central load capacity of 1kg, whirling of shaft apparatus with .47m, .64m, .79m Ø and test length of upto 112cms, etc

A sound Mechanical Engineer must know the characteristics of the material that is to be used for the design of the component. The strength of Materials Laboratory helps the students to do just the same. The Lab is equipped with second to none equipment which allows checking the major characteristics of the material such as the ductility, stress and strain parameters, yield strength, tensile strength etc…

The special machines laboratory is equipped with the best of machines that are required to manufacture any component. Cylindrical grinding machine, Surface grinding machine, shapers, face milling, end mill cutters, drilling machines power saws and also the most advanced CNC (Vertical machining centre) worth 28 Lakhs which can machine in three axis. The lab is equipped with surface grinding machine (pinnacle), Cylindrical grinding machine (forward and backward traverse) universal Milling Machine with movement capacity of 800mmx230mmx 400mm in the longitudinal, transverse and vertical respectively.

An engineering student needs to be trained thoroughly with the basics and hence the student is trained on basics such as carpentry, plumbing, and are also given training on power tools that are most frequently used. The students are also taught how to make various joints such as dove tail joint, tee joint in carpentry and taught to make threads on pipes. The students are usually taught to make threads on 1 inch (1”) pipes PVC preferred for safety reasons.

The Laboratory is furnished with instruments to assess the performance of CAM analysis apparatus, governors, gyroscopic couple and critical speed of shaft. The laboratory is also equipped with dynamic balancing machine, Measurement of frequency (Damped and Undamped, Free and Forced), also equipped with Vibration

Exciter, vibration pickup, Accelerometer pickup, Power amplifier, Function generator and Vibrations meters along with charge to voltage converter to read frequency, displacement and acceleration.

In modern CNC systems, end-to-end component design is highly automated using CAD/CAM programs. The programs produce a computer file that is interpreted to extract the commands needed to operate a particular machine via a post processor, and then loaded into the CNC machines for production. Since any particular component might require the use of a number of different tools—drills, saws, etc

.—modern machines often combine multiple tools into a single "cell". In other cases, a number of different machines

are used with an external controller and human or robotic operators that move the component from machine to machine. In either case, the complex series of steps needed to produce any part is highly automated and produces a part that closely matches the original CAD design.
