Water Tunnel Test Facility


The water tunnel test facility has been set-up to undertake the flow measurements for various flow configurations at higher Reynolds numbers. Two PhD students are working full time in this laboratory. The facility has been equipped with the following instrumentations.

  1. Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV)

  2. Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF)

  3. Hotwire Anemometer

  4. Load-Cell

  5. Calibration unit of load-cell and anemometer.

  6. Smoke visualization facility.

 


5-Axis Machining


EMCO Concept Mill 250 Machining Center


The EMCO Concept Mill 250 is a sturdy but compact machine ideal for producing medium scale work pieces requiring high amounts of material removal using modern CNC control software (ESPIRT CAM Software). The roll of Concept Mill 250 in edu-cation is defined by its interchangeable control systems. The soft-ware can be switched in a minute from FANUC 21M control to SIEMENS 810/840 fully supported by Fanuc and Siemens. The machine is equipped with powerful AC servo motors for all axes, and a 20-station Automatic Tool Changer. Work piece is rotatable in every position desired at any time. It has the ESPIRT Software, which is considered to be the most powerful CAM Software. It is a high performance computer aided manufacturing system for a full range machine tool operation The Concept Mill 250 can be integrated into FMS and CIM systems along with the robotics in-terface. Accessories includes a Rotating and swiveling unit as 5th axis with high precision harmonic gear.
