MICRO MACHINING CENTRE
With the rapid developments in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), machining operations in micro and nano scale has become a topic of great research interest. Technology of Micro-machining has gained an increasing decisive role in the miniaturization of components in biomedical, electronic and other MEMS applications. The machining centre is equipped with various accessories like On Machine Measurement (OMM) setup, Conventional and Non conventional micro machining setups etc. It is important to note that at present the micro machining facility is available only in few Institutes in India and NIT Calicut is one among them
The major facilities available in the micro machining centre are;Micro Turning Micro Milling Micro Drilling Micro EDM Micro Wire EDM Micro EDG Hybrid Machining In-situ Process To support the theoretical and experimental studies related to this area, the Advanced Manufacturing Centre at NITC is equipped with the following subsystems and software. KISTLER Dynamometer and accessories, DYNOWARE Software On Machine Measurement with CCD camera LABVIEW Software Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), is in the process of procuring. Various UG/PG project works and doctoral research works are being carried out in this centre. Within the short span of time, the centre has made significant contribution to the research in these emerging technologies.
