Basic Machining
|
|
In our basic machining
course you will learn basic shop safety. You will also learn how to
use the various manual machine tools in the Emerson lab (drill press, band
saw, vertical saw, mill and lathe). The course includes making a lamp
using a lathe and milling machine. Upon completion of the lamp, you will be
free to use the Emerson when it is available to work on your own projects.
The Basic Machining Course is usually held on Tuesday (Lathes) and
Thursdays (Mills) at 8:00 and 2:30. For
information on attending the course contact George Petry at 5-9108 or by
email at gp22@cornell.edu.
|
|
Advanced Machining
|
|
Usually a one hour
session, depending on participants needs and skill level.
Our advanced machining course is for people who have taken our Basic
Machining Course, or have taken MA&E 225, Mechanical Synthesis. It is
also open to any long time lab user who would like to improve his/her speed
and efficiency when working on projects.
Some of the subjects we will cover are: job planning, how to use various
accessories for the mill and lathe, cleanliness, de burring, and an
introduction to the metrology lab.
The course is offered on an as requested basis. For information on
scheduling a session contact George Petry at 5-9108 or by email at gp22@cornell.edu.
|
|
Welding Techniques
|
|
Usually a one hour
session, depending on participants needs and skill level.
In this course we will introduce you to Tig, Mig, and gas welding
(oxy/acetylene), as well as Brazing and soldering techniques.
The course is offered on an as requested basis. For information on
scheduling a session contact George Petry at 5-9108 or by email at gp22@cornell.edu.
|
|
Metrology Checkout
|
|
Usually a one hour
session, depending on participants needs and skill level.
Required for use of the metrology lab.
In our Metrology Checkout you will learn the proper use of the various
measurement tools in our lab. The main emphasis will be on cleanliness, and
proper handling of measuring instruments.
The course is offered on an as requested basis. For information on
scheduling a session contact George Petry at 5-9108 or by email at gp22@cornell.edu.
|

CNC
|
|
CNC training is provided
in three sessions: an introduction
to CNC machining, CNC programming and applications.
|
|
The course is usually
offered starting at the beginning of the Fall semester. For
information on scheduling a session contact Len Evansic at 5-5136 or by
email at lje6@cornell.edu.
Strain
Gages
|
|
Approximately 3 hours,
depending on participants’ needs and skill level.
An introduction to the theory and types of strain gages. Hands on
training on the application of strain gages: surface prep and bonding,
soldering techniques and testing and measurements using strain gages
(Wheatstone bridge, three wire hookups, and strain gage rosettes.
The course is offered on an as requested basis. For information on
scheduling a session contact Matt Ulinski at 4-6365 or by email at mu25@cornell.edu

Composite
Training
Currently under development, this course will help address the rising need
for instruction on the safety and proper techniques for using composite
materials (i.e., carbon fiber, fiberglass).
|
|
Fixturing
|
|
A more detailed look at
fixturing for the CNC machines.
|
|
Temperature Measurement
|
|
The use of and theory
behind various temperature measurement devices: thermocouples,
thermistors, RTDs, and infrared.
|
|
Data Acquisition
|
|
Use of scopes, data
loggers and strip chart recorders and computers for data collections.
|
|
Electronics Application
|
|
Possible subjects would
include parallel and series circuits, voltage dividers, op amps and
