Machine Lab Tour

20 PTS

IET 101 Winter 2014

Please complete and submit at the beginning of class on Tuesday, 2/18 at the beginning of class.

We visited the Machine Lab this week in Hogue Hall. Your task is to research and find one “machine shop” here in the United States. Explain what they produce, where they are located, four products produced at the location, any technology used from design to machining, who their customers are, and any other information you feel is relevant.

Next, choose one of the many CNC software programs in the market today. Include how it works, the market it is sold to, what can be made using it, and other information you feel is relevant. Any pros/cons? Explain.

Finally, compare/contrast both a CNC lathe v. a normal lathe, and a CNC mill v. a normal mill. Provide two examples of parts/items created on each of the CNC lathe and normal lathe, the CNC mill and a normal mill. Are there any pros/cons of using one or both method? Explain. You may reference your class notes from lecture or internet resources.

Your final submission must be at least one-page double spaced. Please include all website or class note resources and one picture of each of the four machines on the same page, but on a separate page from the text. Be ready to submit on Tuesday 2/18, at the beginning of class. Please make sure to staple the pages of your submission. Have a good weekend.
