Machine Practice Workshop

Machine Practice Workshop is an institution for use of all the departments for manufacturing laboratory class. It also offers machine tools and production of equipments for manufacturing education,research activities and club activities. Design and production works for graduation research or for the NHK Robot Contest are some of the projects done at Machine Practice Workshop.　Some short courses for utilization of machine tools for outside students, and open classes for fundamental manufacturing technologies are offered at Machine Practice Workshop.

Besides fundamental machine tools for manufacturing education, the Machine Practice Workshop has various newly developed multifunctioned equipments with computers.　Some major equipments settled in this workshop are shown in Table 1.

The manufacturing laboratory classes, set for the students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering or Electronic Control Engineering, are consisted of several working groups as shown in Table2.　Furthermore, a comprehensive manufacturing laboratory class is set for 4th grade students in Mechanical Engineering Department.　In this class, students experience the whole process from the design through the production of goods.
