CNC Centre of Excellence- Advanced Manufacturing Centre

Department of Mechanical Engineering possesses a Centre of Excellence for Advanced Manufacturing. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) has become the key tool for competitive manufacturing and there is a plenty of job opportunities in this sector.
Globally, manufacturing industries in different verticals like

Aerospace and Defense
Automotive and Transportation
Consumer Products and Retails
Electronics and Semiconductor
Energy and Utilities
Industrial Machinery and Heavy Equipment
Marine
Medical Devices and Pharmaceuticals

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

This CNC VMC (YCM) that operates with high precision is imported from Taiwan and costs Rs.75, 00,000/-
