Lab 10 :Engineering Workshop(Mechanical)
Lab Incharge: Prof.Aditya Kakad
Lab Assistant:
Overview
To familiarize with the basic manufacturing processes and to study the various tools and equipment used, hands-on training is given in different sections. Essentially students should know the labour involved, machinery or equipment necessary, time required to fabricate and also should be able to estimate the cost of the product or job work.
DETAILS OF RESOURCES & EQUIPMENTS:
The subject workshop technology has become increasingly important to the engineers engaged in the production of various types of machines and tools. The ability to work skillfully with hands, can be developed more readily and accurately, when the work to be performed in the shop floor it is necessary for students to understand both in practical and theoretical aspects. Spacious, fully ventilated workshop includes the Fitting section, Smithy section, Carpentry section, welding section, Machine shop, Sheet metal working and Electric wiring etc.
Fitting
The term fitting, is related to assembly of parts, after bringing the dimension or shape to the required size or form, in order to secure the necessary fit. The bench work and fitting plays an important role in engineering. Although in today’s industries most of the work is done by automatic machines which produces the jobs with good accuracy but still it (job) requires some hand operations called fitting operations.
Carpentry
Carpentry is the process of shaping Timber, using hand tools. The products produced are used in building construction, such as doors and windows, furniture manufacturing, patterns for moulding in foundries, etc. Carpentry work mainly involves the joining together of wooden pieces and finishing the surfaces after shaping them
Blacksmithy
Blacksmithy or Forging is an oldest shaping process used for producing small articles for which accuracy in size is not so important. The parts are shaped by heating them in an open fire or hearth by the blacksmith and shaping them through applying compressive forces using a hammer.
Welding
Welding is a process for joining two similar or dissimilar metals by fusion. It joins different metals/alloys, with or without the application of pressure and with or without the use of filler metal. The fusion of metal takes place by means of heat. The heat may be generated either from combustion of gases, electric arc, electric resistance or by chemical reaction.
The welding is widely used as a fabrication and repairing process in industries. Some of the typical applications of welding include the fabrication of ships, pressure vessels, automobile bodies, off-shore platforms, bridges, welded pipes, sealing of nuclear fuel and explosives, etc.
Sheet metal work
Sheet metal work has its own significance in the engineering work. Many products, which fulfill the household needs, decoration work and various engineering articles, are produced from sheet metals. Common examples of sheet metal work are hoopers, canisters, guards, covers, pipes, hoods, funnels, bends, boxes etc. Such articles are found less expensive, lighter in weight and in some cases sheet metal products replace the use of castings or forgings.
