have wide job opportunities in acquiring Manufacturing solutions and CNC Programming Services. CNC has become a Key Tool for Competitive Manufacturing in today’s Global Market.
The importance of Advanced Manufacturing in the International Context is:
- Manufacturing Industry is becoming Sunrise Sector next to I.T industry. Global Giants are already started their Manufacturing base in India.
- There is a need to learn Latest CAD / CAM / CAE software available in the market which can give good Job Opportunity.
- Industries need plenty of Well Trained Engineers in Manufacturing and Design Engineering.
- Hands – On Experience in Fixture / SPM / Gauge Design & CNC Virtual Machining Software / Cutting Tool Selection is required in industries.
We provide a world class experience to the students on CNC Machining with hands on training to upgrade knowledge from Design to Manufacturing. The facilities available at our Centre of Excellence for Advanced Manufacturing are as follows:
- CNC Vertical Machining Centre (VMC) - YCM EV1020A (Imported from Taiwan)
- CNC Turning Centre - ACE Super JOBBER
- EDGECAM Software (Computer Aided Manufacturing)

CNC Turning Centre - ACE Supper JOBBER
CNC turning centers replace certain conventional machine tools. They replace a lathe. You probably know what a lathe is and/or have seen one in use. If so, you know that the primary function is to remove material from a rotating work piece with a relatively stationary cutting tool.
The cost of this CNC Turning Centre is Rs.26, 00,000/-
CNC Vertical Machining Centre (VMC) - YCM EV1020A
A Vertical Machining Center (VMC) is a machining center with its spindle in a vertical orientation. High-end VMCs are high-precision machines often used for tight-tolerance milling, such as fine die and mold work. In particular, we have
- Injection Mold
- Plastic Mold
- Rubber Mold
- 3D Mold
- Press Tools
- Fixtures
- Pattern Mold
CNC Vertical Machining Centre (VMC) - YCM EV1020A
This CNC VMC (YCM) that operates with high precision is imported from Taiwan and costs Rs.75, 00,000/-
