Agency: FIST (DST) Principal Investigator:Dr. L Suvarna Raju (HOD)
State of art facilities
In this machine tool diagnostics lab, there are 3 tri axial accelerometer available. With these accelerometer, machine tool, cutter and tool vibrations are measured simultaneously in X, Y and Z directions in time domain. The vibration signals are processed and converted in to frequency domain with the help of the fast Fourier transformer. There is another facility of electric discharge machining machine available. Power consumption and aerosol emissions can be studied on the EDM.

Robotics is one of the emerging fields in current global scenario. Moreover, knowledge of robotics is essential for all graduates to be successful in their upcoming career. The field of robotics is a blend of diversified areas like Mechanical, electrical, electronics and computer science. Robotics involves design, development and operation of various robots such as, mobile robots, humanoids, service robots and industrial robots. The primary objective of the "center for robotics" is to familiarize the students in various components, functionalities and their capabilities to involve for developing several types of robots which are used in the industrial and non-industrial applications. Moreover, the students should able to learn to write the programs for various path planning algorithms which are used in several applications.
IRB 1520 Welding Robot
The laboratory is utilizing for demonstration of laboratory experiments for different streams of students like 3rd year students undergoing open elective course, 4th year Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering students undergoing Robotics course.
Moreover, we are also planning to conduct hands on experience training for students from other surrounding engineering colleges.
The Institution aims to make experts in the areas of composites and play a role in transforming solutions to the existing problems of manufacturing.
- Development of High performance rigid composites made from glass, graphite, kevlar, boron or silicon carbide fibers in polymeric matrices in aerospace and space vehicle technology applications.
- Development of Secondary fiber (from waste virgin products like Flexes, bottles, disposable glasses etc.) reinforced polymeric composites for low costapplications.
- Facilitates UG, PG students and Ph.D. Scholars to understand the theory and application of composites across multiple technological disciplines.
- Impart practical exposure on the various methods and practices of composites technology.
- To provide the experience and expertise for participating in major research programs.
- Provide a career-path to the Faculty in the emerging area of composites.
