Facilities

 

Milling machine
Students can use this machine to produce high quality flat planes and slots. In this machine, the milling cutter is driven by the spindle and the work-piece is fixed on the machine table. This machine can also be adapted to produce gears by attaching a dividing head and a gear cutter.

Drilling machine
Straight holes can be cut by this machine. The driller is fixed into the spindle and rotated with appropriate velocity to perform cutting.

 

 

 

 

Shaping machine
It is used for shaping flat plane and formed surface. Students can also use this machine to produce regular profiles such as slots and inner surface.
