Machine tool evolution is in hyper-drive. Compared to five years ago, the newest machines are four times faster and far more powerful. Tool changes are quicker, axis travels many times faster, and amazing accuracies readily achievable.

Maintenance costs are lower and reliability much improved, yielding extraordinary productivity gains. High-skill professionals for this environment are now being trained at the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Lab.

It features latest-generation, full-size, industrial, programmable CNC machining and turning centers. Lean/cellular procedures are part of the educational experience, simulating actual factory conditions.

The facility features multiple-axis machine tools, an automated machining cell, a quality control lab, an advanced tool and die cell and industrial robotics. Our Office of Corporate Learning can arrange shop rentals for special workshops and seminars. Related classrooms and labs also are available for rental packages.
