MACHINING PROCESSES LAB
The mission of the
Machining Processes Laboratory is to strengthen
the competitiveness of regional and
national industries in machining capabilities by
·
developing science-based models of
machining processes,
·
improving the-state-of-the-art in
machining of high performance materials, and
·
providing economically viable and
environmentally conscious alternatives in manufacturing strategies.
This laboratory currently houses a high precision, CNC turning center, manual lathes, a vertical milling machine, and a 3-axis dynamometer with data acquisition system, capable of measuring cutting forces during machining.
Key faculty involved in this lab includes Dr. Y. Kevin Chou (ME).
