Workshop Basic Skills Training Course 2009 After Event

Thanks to all for participating and turning up for the event! It was a most stimulating event, where everyone was able to lay their hands on equipments we all used to see (or have never seen) but dared not touch. All the seniors were most helpful and hopefully, the juniors were able to gain bits and pieces of knowledge from this basic skills course as well. I hope you have all enjoyed this event!

Overview : Our OC, Ming Jin, started off with a short safety brief and introduction to our machining equipments. Groups were formed, with around 6 participants under the guidance of 2 seniors. They then took turns with the 4 machining equipments available, which are drilling, turning, welding and CNC machining. CNC machining was handled by the lab technician as complex programming was required. After our seniors demonstrated on how to operate the machines, participants were given a chance to try their hands on the equipments. The course was surprisingly over in less than the estimated 2 hours, which gave everyone more time to experiment on the equipments. Some of the equipments not included as a part of the course were also shown to the participants! Here are pictures from the event!

Our Mr. OC briefing it all.

Welding

Welding Equipment. No human has been harmed in the process (despite blood-like stains...)

A very helpful senior & a junior welding...hey, nice glove a...

The inside of the mask is soooo dark!

Turning

Turning Equipment. So complicated...Got pedal like piano hahaha...

Hi......Okay, you can continue your work now.

The equipment can shave the white cyclinder like 'ais kacang' (shaved ice)...

Close up. Shining 'ais kacang' block.

Perfect 'ais kacang'-ness. Also, small frisbee cap (right) & cendol (left) hahaha...

CNC Machining

CNC Machine. It is the leader of all machines, cos got brand 'LEADWELL'...hahahaha...

Checking Mr. Leadwell out.

So tempted to press the red button...

The side view of the CNC machining process. The coolant will be focused on the metal piece. Har, why do it in closed space? The coolant splashes on you, you like ar?

Spiral! The product after waiting for the process to complete.

Some other results from CNC machining. So many shapes! Maybe can make spades, hearts and diamonds too. Hahaha, then we can all play metal poker cards...

Drilling

Drilling Equipment. I don't know why the equipment so tall.

Seniors demonstrating how to use the equipment. The switch button is at bottom right, so feel free to on and off.

Our participants trying out! The metal board can be moved left and right, front and back, so it's quite convenient to drill.

Zoooom! More 'ais kacang'! Hahaha...

Horizontal Band Saw

Horizontal Band Saw Equipment. The purpose of the long metal stick is to trip people down.

I'm sure all the cyclinders in the lab have done nothing wrong to deserve this...May you rest in peace...

That is all for now! You sure did miss out the fun if you didn't participate in this particular event. Next time around then! :D
